Bella Figura

print our invitation suite in an extremely expedited timeline. Our invitations turned out absolutely gorgeous and we received so many compliments. We would 10000% use Bella Figura again and recommend them to anyone who wants the most beautiful invitations. We love our invitations so much we still have them on the fridge a year later!

us through the whole process, and made this such a fun, accessible, and exciting experience when it could have easily been been overwhelming and intimidating. She helped to guide us and make suggestions when needed, while also allowing us to get creative and make the product our own. After our in-store appointment, we were connected with a designer who provided us unlimited online proofs - no request was too small or annoying. Mariana continued to check in with us the entire time and helped to ensure the final product was everything we had hoped. Their customer service and product quality is incredible, and they are also open to working with a range of budgets and can help find what you're looking for while keeping cost in mind (which is always a hard thing to find in NYC!) We are so excited to send out our invitations, and cannot thank Mariana and the whole Bella Figura team enough!

dgeable, and kind. She made the process so much fun and helped us find the perfect suite. After we placed the order, Sarah helped us coordinate with Katie, the designer, to work through the proofing process and get the design and language exactly how we wanted. The level of professionalism at each step with each person was just beyond. We are thrilled with the end product. If we ever need invitations again in the future, we will not hesitate to call Bella Figura! Five stars and would absolutely recommend to anyone.

s of printing and paper choices. Once we were ready to customize our invites and day-of pieces, I was assigned to a design artist, with whom I was able to communicate exclusively throughout the design process. The artists worked tirelessly with us through as many proofs as necessary to make sure every detail was perfect. Even the packaging of the invites was incredible! We chose to assemble our own invites, and each piece was packed precisely, with assembly instructions included! 10/10 recommend Bella Figura for all wedding printing needs!

my fiance was taken aback by how stunning they are! We cannot recommend them enough!

She was so helpful not only on the design elements but also with recommendations for wording. I was so pleased with the quality of the finished items as well. Everything arrived as expected and printed flawlessly.

what we were looking for, presented us with a wealth of options, and coached us through a final selection. Our design included a beautiful illustration of our venue -- they have a number of NYC locations in their custom library, so would definitely recommend to NYC couples for whom this might be of interest. The letterpress was so elegant and details like the edge painting truly made them special. Design, billing and proofing came through a few different people, but communication was always prompt and easy to follow. Would definitely recommend!

tment. When we sat down with Nancy, she explained the process to us, told us how customizable all of the invitations were, and was very patient. She showed us multiple books with samples and didn’t hover over us as we looked. Truly, there was no pressure. Eventually, we were finally able to narrow it down and make a selection! (Phew.) When I came back with my mom, who wanted to see the invitations in person before we ordered them, Nancy was again incredibly helpful and generous with her time, not even knowing if we were going to go with Bella Figura. After getting the green light, Nancy helped walk us through the process again in more specifics. She spent hours helping us decide on language and wording and every little detail, from colors to fonts. It is an incredibly time consuming process, but Nancy was happy to put in the effort, even when we got frustrated. She came up with great solutions when we wanted to figure out how to do RSVP cards since we had a situation where not all guests were invited to the rehearsal dinner. Each time we met with her, she’d follow up with updated quotes and emails to help keep us on track. She’d also call about small details that’d come to her, showing how much thought she was putting into our invitations. When it came to ordering our day-of pieces—our menu and welcome booklet for hotel gift bags—we were in a bit of a time crunch. The latter had so much information: bus schedules, activities, addresses, etc. Nancy stayed late so that we could get our order in ASAP in order to ensure the items arrived when we needed them. She was just the best, every step of the way. Of course, Bella Figura isn’t cheap, but everything came out beautifully. Every person that we worked with—from the designers on the proofs to the client coordinators on billing—was helpful, kind, and responsive. They made changes quickly, offered helpful solutions when spacing was an issue, and even caught the tiniest of typos. One of Bella Figura’s calligraphers, Debi of Blooming Quill, did the calligraphy for the design of our invitation and Nancy connected us with her to do the actual addressing of the outer guest envelopes. She was so much more affordable than other quotes we’d gotten in New York and her work was beautiful. Though paper invitations are certainly costly and are becoming more rare in favor of e-vites, we are so happy to have a tangible momento and our guests loved receiving them in the mail. To us, it was worth the hefty price tag and we are thrilled with how everything came out.

d or of inferior quality, we were starting to despair. Then my mom told me about this place in her neighborhood on the upper east side. I assumed they'd be even more expensive as the others we'd investigated, but then we stopped in and met Sue-Queen. We immediately realized that the personal attention we'd get from her and this company would be worth extra expense, but then it turned out that their prices were more than competitive for similar products elsewhere without half as terrific service. We were able to get exactly what we wanted, with options as broad as one's imagination and no up-selling involved. I was really surprised by how many people told us they loved the invitations as much as we did. Sue-Queen went above and beyond good salesmanship, even taking a sample to the post office near the shop to get a postage quote for me as I was out of town for a family emergency, and offering to collate and stuff the invitations for us simply because she is that nice and helpful. Go here first. You will save yourself a lot of time and effort and find what you want with great service and a fair price.

lso amazing and replied to my email questions within minutes (and I had a lot of them). It was an absolute pleasure to work with Bella Figura. I would do it again in a heartbeat...but hopefully won't have to :)

worth it. We also were able to get a deal (order 75 invites and get 25 free). I also love that they used recycled paper for their invitations. Mariana Stein was SUPER patient with us!

gorgeous and classic invitations/programs/menus/etc. with gold foil hand calligraphy. Word of advice – be sure to proofread, proofread again, and then proofread one more time. Thank you, Bella Figura, for our beautiful wedding paper!!!

vibrant, and with a lot of variety and options to customize. The designs and papers are extremely fine quality and have a really special look. We started with a sample we saw in the store and customized it for font style and color. We ended up with the most beautiful floral invitations with subtle rose gold touches on oversize thick paper and envelopes with rose gold liners. The invitations feel elegant but also creative and unique. The pricing is on the higher end, but for what they offer it is truly much more reasonable than comparable companies, which, from my initial search, charged far more for far less. I am even more excited about these invitations than I even imagined and I know they will make an amazing introduction for our guests to what we hope our wedding will be. We worked with Su-Queen who was absolutely amazing in every way. She spent a lot of time answering our questions and giving thoughtful guidance—she’s really an expert in this, both regarding design and etiquette (which designs make sense together or not, options for wording for the invitations etc). She was extremely attentive but also gave us time to look through and think about the samples on our own to make our own decisions. The coordination of the shipment/delivery was seamless as well, as was the responsiveness to emails as we were sorting through our designs and our final order. The combination of the amazing people who work here like Su-Queen and the stunning quality and range of the invitations themselves make this place truly special.

through every step of the process and her attention to detail was phenomenal. Mariana added personal touches to our invitation suite that really enhanced the entire look. I cannot recommend Mariana and the Bella Figura team enough to anyone that wants to make a beautiful and special statement for their wedding.

made it fun and took the time to educate us on the etiquette around some of our decisions. She was funny, kind, easy to talk to and always honest. The perfect combination! The production team at Bella Figura was very responsive. We never waited even a business day to get an answer to a question or a small edit done. Everything was handled in such a professional, organized and friendly way. Our entire invitation suite was more beautiful and perfect than we could have imagined. It was wonderful working with a "small" shop for it felt personal. We have already used them for additional stationary and hope to work with them again soon. I can't say how highly we would recommend working with Bella Figura and Mariana. Don't even think twice.

inserts to have, to the wording, to how to address specific people. We considered doing our invitations through an online site like Minted but are so glad we ended up going to Bella Figura. The quality of our invitations was incredible and working with them was a dream! We still get compliments to this day, months later, about how beautiful they came out. Plus, we compared their pricing to some other smaller stationary stores outside of New York City and, shockingly, found them to be more reasonably priced!

e, without much compromise. They turned around designs quickly, and worked with us to perfect our invitations. Highly recommend! The only thing I wish we did was consult with the Post Office more. Even though we weighed our invitations twice before sending to make sure we had the proper postage, a lot of our guests did not receive them, which was very disappointing. Also, pointer for those brides in NYC. The only Post Office that offers hand canceling is the one by Penn Station on 8th Ave.

had ever seen! Nancy was so helpful and thoughtful, and made a point to help it be as cost-effective as possible, even reminding me to make an order during a week with a special promotion (and champagne!) at the elegant storefront! I had considered just making my invitations online, but having the guidance of an expert not only made my life easier... it also made our invitations impeccable! Worth every penny!

d us with guidance on etiquette and color choices. I'd definitely recommend Bella Figura for those who love the letterpress look!

ial design details and the vision I had. They are very professional and friendly. Not only do they execute beautiful stationary they are eco-friendly and sustainable and donate % to charity. Its a feel good purchase! I highly recommend using their company.

e dates, envelopes, liners, etc. Our selections were typography based, and we were able to modify their original designs from different lines to create our invitation suite. Everything arrived beautifully boxed with envelope moistener (which we realized after 175 save-the-dates). We had one hiccough with our invitation envelopes, which had a printing error in the zip code. I was worried we would have to wait the full additional production time to receive the corrected envelopes, as they had a special liner, but Bella Figura printed and shipped them immediately for us at no additional expense. Their proactive customer service and attention to the client is the best reason to work with Bella Figura. We later added to the suite with brunch invites, escort cards, and menus, and loved having everything match on our big day.

coming wedding.

tions or concerns that arose. When we received our first proof the invitation was better than we ever could have imagined! Seeing them in person was even better. Classy, elegant, and packaged perfectly. We could not have asked for a better experience with our invitations and will be recommending them highly to friends and family for future events! Thank you Bella Figura and particularly Nancy!!!!
