French Letterpress Wedding Invitations for a Destination Wedding in Angers, France

For a couple who value timeless elegance, meaningful details, and exceptional craftsmanship, we designed this bespoke wedding invitation suite to set the tone for a romantic destination wedding in Angers, France, at the historic Église Saint-Laud.

Created by Digby & Rose, this suite blends French typography, fine art illustration, and luxury letterpress printing—a perfect example of how refined design can transport guests before the wedding day even arrives.

A Destination Wedding Invitation Inspired by Place

Because this wedding took place in France, we designed every element of the invitation suite to reflect its setting.

The main invitation features a soft, original illustration of Église Saint-Laud, anchoring the design in the ceremony location itself. The accompanying reception card showcases an illustrated French château, reinforcing the sense of place and anticipation for a European celebration.

The invitations were printed in English, and another set was printed entirely in French for the couple’s family in France, honoring both tradition and authenticity—an important detail for couples planning a destination wedding or blending cultures.

Luxury Letterpress Printing with Old-World Elegance

Printed on luxurious, textured cotton paper, we produced this suite using traditional letterpress printing, giving the typography a subtle debossed impression that can be felt as much as seen.

Letterpress is one of the defining elements of luxury wedding invitations, prized for its tactile quality, depth, and permanence. Paired with classic French typography and restrained color palettes, the result feels both timeless and deeply personal.

A wax seal in a soft, refined blue completed the suite — an elegant finishing touch that nods to European wedding traditions while elevating the overall presentation.
