Deckle Edges & Moody Romance: Inside Lizzy & Anthony’s Italian Black-Tie Suite

I am still not over the absolute magic of Lizzy and Anthony’s wedding day.

Set against the rolling hills of Italy—living vicariously through this gallery—their celebration was intimate, moody, and deeply romantic. Picture a long family-style table bathed in soft ambient light, subtle touches of delicate color, and a misty evening where even the rain somehow felt like a paid actor. Reliving the effortless class of this day has been such a feast for the eyes.

As a Southern California wedding stationer with a soft spot for organic textures and modern typography, designing the paper for an evening like this is the dream.

The Details: Customizing the Frankie Suite

Lizzy and Anthony chose our Frankie Suite as their foundation, leaning into rich contrast and touchable materials to reflect the tone of their black-tie dinner:

Carbon Ink Letterpress: Deep, tactile printing that brings a bold, modern edge to classic stationery.
Handmade Deckle Edge Paper: Soft, feathered raw edges that add an effortless warmth to the suite.
My Favorite Layering Trick: We stacked a double-thick main invitation card with a matching double-thick response card, slipping a delicately deckled paper insert right between the two for incredible weight and dimension.
Fine Twine: A simple, organic finish to bundle the suite together before sliding into their envelopes.

Your invitations are the very first tactile piece of your wedding your guests will hold. When you combine the weight of double-thick paper, deep letterpress impressions, and raw edges, you’re not just sending event details—you’re setting the stage for what it's going to feel like to be there.

Whether you’re planning a destination weekend in Europe or a sun-drenched celebration along the California coast, intentional, heirloom paper makes all the difference.
