At Story of Elegance, we use only traditional methods to produce all our collections. Each wedding invitation is crafted using time-honoured techniques, with every finish chosen for its beauty, depth and timelessness. Here’s a closer look at how each detail is brought to life:

Letterpress

Letterpress is the process we use to press your wording into the paper using a metal die. The die is inked, then pressed into the surface, leaving a deep impression you can see and feel. It creates a refined, tactile finish that gives weight to every word.

Hot-Foiling

Hot foiling is the process we use to add a metallic glossy finish to your wording. A heated metal die presses foil onto the paper, leaving behind a smooth, light-catching shine in gold, silver or other metallic tones.

Embossing

Embossing is the process we use to raise part of your design above the surface of the paper. A shaped die pushes the paper forward from underneath, creating a raised effect without ink or foil. It adds depth and texture in the most understated way.

Engraving

Engraving is the process we use to create a crisp, finely raised design. Your wording is etched into a metal die, then filled with ink and pressed into the paper from behind. The result is an elegant raised surface with a subtle indentation on the reverse and a finish long associated with traditional printing.

Bespoke Press Block Die

For each wedding invitation, we create a bespoke press die block based on your chosen wording and layout. This metal form is made specifically for you and used across all traditional finishes, including letterpress, hot foiling, embossing and engraving.

Whether it carries ink, foil or simply shapes the paper, the die allows us to press every detail with accuracy and depth. Once produced, your die is carefully archived and ready to be used again for future pieces in your suite.

Wedding Invitation Design

In keeping with our brand’s dedication to luxury, we invite you to celebrate the art of visual arrangement that honours simplicity and beauty. Each wedding invitation reflects our signature timeless design with contemporary craftsmanship, created to honour your story with poise and precision.

Designed in London and proudly made in England, our commitment to quality is not just a promise. It is pressed into every invitation, shaped by traditional methods and guided by the timeless elegance of British craftsmanship.
