These invitations for Christina and Angelo’s wedding at the Boca Raton Resort and Club are one of my all-time favorites! The calligraphic script font flows so perfectly with the garden-inspired envelope liner, and you can’t go wrong with navy letterpress paired with gold foil. We’ve been seeing a lot of online replies lately, which is a great option if you have a lot of international guests or you’re short on time.
Brenda Fox's designs are always among our best-sellers by Bella Figura - and if you place your letterpress order with us using one of her designs by May 31, you'll save 10% on your entire order! Whether you’re ordering save the dates, wedding invitations, birth announcements, party invitations, or personal stationery, this offer applies to it all! Plus, you can save an extra 10% when you order 6 printed pieces or more.
As with all of Bella Figura's designs, everything is customizable - colors, fonts, calligraphy, motifs, layout, edge painting, pocketfolds, envelope liners, and more!
Kristen and Conrad’s beautiful letterpress invitations were the perfect introduction to their black tie wedding. We can’t decide which we like more - the hand calligraphy accents or the black and white striped envelope liner!
Tammy and Jean-Paul’s formal, black-tie wedding invitations are nothing short of incredible! Their black and silver color palette was carried through the set with black and metallic silver papers, black ink and silver foil, black hand calligraphy, and silver foil edging. The formal, somewhat traditional fonts feel more contemporary when paired with this ornate back pattern in silver foil - and the foil edge truly pops on their triple-thick paper!
We had such a blast working with Barbara on her Art Deco-inspired wedding invitation suite. Gold and gray color palettes, reply postcards, and hand calligraphy accents have all been huge hits this year, and we love how they all came together in this one-of-a-kind set. Our favorite part? The champagne gold foil-stamped envelope liner (photos just can't capture how incredible it is!).
Bella Figura calligrapher Sarah Hanna will be holding a custom map workshop at The Windmill Paper Boutique on Sunday, June 14!
Attendees will enjoy 4 hours of instruction in an intimate setting, lunch & beverages, gift bags compliments of Smock, and an art supply ‘petting zoo’ at the end of the class, where you’ll get the chance to review Sarah’s supply recommendations.

Lots of exciting updates today... starting with our brand new business cards! We love the stunning black letterpress, luxurious double-thick cotton paper - and check out how gorgeous this edge painting looks! We can't wait to start handing these out!
We also received the hang tags for our packaging from a great Etsy seller. The 100% recycled PCW paper for the tags was special ordered to go along with our eco-friendly bags and tissue paper. We hand stamped our logo on 500 of these!
And the best part... we've started putting our products up on the shelves! Here's a sneak peak!
We are SO excited to announce that Page Stationery's custom albums have arrived! The Windmill will be carrying Page's letterpress wedding, holiday, and baby announcement collections, as well as their amazing flat-printed stationery collection. Here's just a small selection of this huge collection of designs:
The highlights: classic letterpress wedding designs for the traditional bride, duplexing and pockets (to get a layered effect with your invitations), digital printing (think adding a family photo to your holiday cards), and an astonishingly large selection of patterns for the back of your personal stationery (including a rugged fishing lure pattern - we're looking at you, South Florida fishermen!).
We can't wait to share this amazing collection with you!

We've installed most of our signs, completed our construction work, and finished painting the walls (despite the five straight days of work, deciding on a color was by far the hardest part!). With a huge thanks to Ikea and their amazing selection, we've started installing shelving! As you've seen, our custom albums have started arriving, and preprinted cards and other paper items will be coming in shortly as well.
Stay tuned for our grand opening date, as well as specials and events we'll be hosting in honor of the opening. In the meantime, check our blog often, where we'll be posting our gorgeous new products and offerings as they arrive. And, as always, keep up with us on Facebook and Twitter for the latest updates.
The construction dust is still settling in our downtown Boca Raton boutique, and we're making progress on installing furniture (hold tight, we'll be sharing some before & after photos soon!). But we just had to announce the exciting news that our first custom invitation line, Haute Papier, has arrived!

Haute Papier specializes in letterpress and foil stamping (love!), and they also offer machine calligraphy addressing to match your fonts. With ink options, customization options, embellishment options, and so much more... there's just an endless amount that can be done with these gorgeous designs to make a totally unique creation (and did we mention the envelope liners? You HAVE to see these!). We can't wait to show it off!
