About

Overview & Vibe

Love & Letter Co is a small Adelaide studio that hand-paints wedding stationery in watercolour. Every design is painted rather than assembled from type alone, and the studio describes its work as crafted with love, for love. There are two ways in: a fully bespoke suite painted for you, or a semi-custom invitation from a ready-made range.

Style & Printing

The look is hand-painted illustration throughout. The semi-custom range is the unusual part: each invitation carries a painting of a real South Australian wedding venue, so couples marrying at one of them can send an invitation showing the place itself. Those semi-custom invitations are printed on 302gsm textured paper and paired with a 130gsm ivory envelope; paper for a bespoke suite is chosen with you. The studio names paper weights rather than printing techniques, and does not name the printing method it uses, so ask about it if a particular finish matters to you.

Ideal For

Couples marrying at one of the South Australian venues in the painted range, who want something personal without commissioning from scratch. And, at the other end, couples who want an original artwork for their wedding and are willing to pay for illustration as its own line.

The Need-to-Knows

  • Semi-custom venue invitations are listed from $210. The studio does not say how many invitations that covers, and its shop’s quantity selector starts at ten, so confirm the quantity before you order.
  • The bespoke collections are priced as illustration and design only, from $950, and printing is quoted separately on top.
  • Up to three rounds of revisions are included on a bespoke design.
  • For a semi-custom order, proofs are usually supplied within two to three business days, and the studio says to expect your invitations within two to three weeks, with printing and delivery times varying by quantity.
  • Rush orders may be possible for an extra fee where the schedule allows, so ask before ordering if your date is close.

Standout Feature

The venue range. Each design is an original watercolour of a named South Australian wedding property, personalised with your own details while the painting stays as it is.

Appointment Policy

  • For bespoke work, send an enquiry through the form or by email and the studio will come back with availability and a design slot long enough for what you need.
  • A semi-custom venue invitation is bought straight from the studio's own shop: choose the design, add the quantity you need, and fill in the personalisation form at checkout with your names, date and ceremony time.
  • General enquiries are answered within two to three business days.

Areas Serviced

  • The studio works from Adelaide and posts finished stationery out to you.
  • Its semi-custom range is built around South Australian wedding venues, so those painted designs are specific to that state.

Delivery & Setup

  • Finished stationery is personalised, printed and posted directly to you.
  • Delivery times vary with the quantity you order, and no delivery cost is listed - ask what it will be before you order.

Design Fee

  • From $950

Nearby Landmarks

Price Notes

  • The four illustration collections are priced for design only. Printing is quoted separately on top, based on the finishes, materials and quantities you choose.
  • A venue invitation is listed from $210, but the studio does not say how many invitations that covers. Its shop's quantity selector starts at ten. Confirm the quantity before you order.
  • Envelopes are included with every invitation order. Having them printed is a separate item, listed from $9.50, and the studio does not say how many envelopes that buys.
  • Extra invitations can be ordered after your first purchase, subject to minimum quantities, which the studio does not state as a number.
  • Rush orders may be available for an extra fee where the schedule allows. Ask before you order if your date is close.
