Luxury Wedding Invitations
Your names. Your story. Your invitation.
One craftsman, one press, no compromise.
Bespoke hot foil wedding stationery.
Before the venue.
Before the flowers.
Before the day itself.
A Deep Impression.
A notice to the people you love, you want them to witness your forever promise to each other.


The Gilded Press Difference
Imagine sending your invitation in an envelope so beautiful it seems criminal to tear it open.
The person open it as gently as possible; inside is your bespoke wedding invitation. So beautiful. So right, it takes their breath away.
At The Gilded Press, I create bespoke hot foil stamped wedding invitations as beautiful as your promise to each other.
You can see the difference and feel the depth of impression with your fingertips.


Old Red: The Heavy Iron of My Craft
Using a Marshall No. 5 press — Old Red — I drive your design deep into premium heavyweight stock. 400gsm to 1200gsm.
Cotton rag. Cylinder mould. Papers are chosen for their beauty and character.
The hot foil catches the light.
Deep impression you can feel with your fingertips.
“Over the years I have ordered countless times from Simon. He goes out of his way to help and always puts his clients first. He has delivered some exceptional work always on budget. Give him the right amount of time to achieve what you want and he'll put out all stops. A valued, true craftsman.”
Amazing professional services at an affordable rate. I can't say enough how helpful and hard working Simon was with our wedding invites. They came out beautiful.
From Your Idea to Finished Invitation
I hand-feed every sheet. I adjust the heat and pressure until the strike is exactly right. I work in small batches because that's the only way to do this properly.
If you want 500 digital-vanilla identical flat cards by Friday — there are plenty of online bish-bash-bosh shops that will take your money and hit a button.
If you want something beautiful from start to finish, then that's me, and we should talk.
Experience the Difference: Order Your Firebrand Box No.7
Before you commission a full suite, order a Firebrand Box No.7. For £3.99, covering postage, you'll receive a curated collection of my finest work — hot foil, deep impression, premium stocks — so you can feel the difference before you decide.

Because you can't see or feel the difference looking at a screen, get your hands on one and see for yourself.
