Luxury Wedding Invitations — The Gilded Press: Bespoke Stationery That Lasts Forever
The Impossible Invitation
It's your wedding; everything needs to be perfect.
Pressed in Eastbourne, East Sussex.
Made to be kept.
Before the venue.
Before the flowers.
Before the day itself.
The Invitation
A notice to the people you love, you want them to witness your forever promise to each other.
The Weight of Your Promise
Imagine an envelope arriving in the post. An envelope so beautiful it seems criminal to tear it open.
They open it as gently as possible; inside is your bespoke wedding invitation, so beautiful, so right that it takes their breath away.
At The Gilded Press, I create bespoke letterpress wedding invitations and hot foil wedding stationery as beautiful as your promise to each other.
Not printed. Pressed. There's a difference you can feel with your fingertip.
The Things Old Red Does Best
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.
Attention to Detail
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.
