Real Wedding: Gillian + Shane

We are back from an amazing trip to Maine and around New York State, and we cannot wait to share some photos we received while we were out of town!  Gillian and her mother came to us with a vision of letterpress, lace and elegance.  They chose one of our Bella Figura designs (letterpress and foil stamped on gorgeous, thick 100% cotton paper), and customized the layout, fonts, and colors to create the perfect invitation for their Fort Lauderdale beachside wedding.  Check out the photos below by the incredible Lena Isely.

Invitation of the day: Traditional Palm

Invitation of the day: this customization of the Traditional Palm design by Bella Figura (available here at The Windmill). We love the formal look and elegance the fonts bring to this beach-themed design.

We had a great time meeting so many engaged couples last night at the Benvenuto Bridal Extravaganza!  Here are a few shots of our booth at the show, where we featured invitation designs from Bella Figura, Dauphine, and Allie Munroe (all available at The Windmill, in addition to many more!).  Keep in mind that, in addition to save the dates and invitations, we offer all of your day-of pieces as well, including programs, menus, coasters, and napkins.  Please contact us if you have any questions, or schedule an appointment today!

Be inspired: Vintage floral

Happy Friday!  This week we dreamed up this totally custom letterpress wedding invitation design based on the vintage floral (or as my husband pointed out, vintage floor-al) pattern from this photo by local photographer Todd Good.  We think this design would be gorgeous letterpress printed on ultra-thick cotton paper through our vendor Bella Figura, with a mustard edge and a metallic bronze envelope liner.
