Cozy Fireplace Romance & Legacy: A Hampshire House Wedding Stationery Suite

Stepping into the Hampshire House is like opening a page from Boston’s historical past. Built in 1911 on Beacon Hill, this Georgian revival mansion was designed by Ogden Codman Jr. With soaring Palladian windows, rich oak paneling, and ornate crystal chandeliers, its grandeur is undeniable. Yet its heart lies in its intimate spaces, each warmed by the glow of a working fireplace.

When this couple chose to celebrate beside the library’s storied fireplace, we knew their wedding invitation suite needed to highlight that atmosphere. This was a space full of history, elegance, and the kind of romance that makes a wedding unforgettable.

Anchor the Design with The Place

Rather than only referencing the mansion’s exterior, we chose to honor the fireplace and wood-paneled library. This was the true soul of the reception space. The suite began with a custom watercolor sketch of the mantel blazing under candlelight, framed by rows of beloved books and the library’s signature oak tones.

To tie the stationery suite to the venue’s ambiance, we added elements that felt both personal and cohesive. White and yellow florals, inspired by the reception décor, were hand-painted alongside the fireplace sketch to echo the table arrangements.

A classic monogram crest, stamped in muted gold, framed the sketch and unified each piece from invitation to enclosure cards. White paper stock with subtle texture nodded to the linen tablecloths and soft candlelit tones of the space.

By centering design around the venue’s iconic elements such as the fireplace, the library, the florals, we created a branded visual identity for the wedding that felt cohesive and intentional.

From their Save the Dates, invitations, menus, custom napkins and welcome sign, every element whispered the same story: timeless and meaningful. Branding your wedding through stationery does more than coordinate fonts and colors. It sets the tone & signals to guests, “This is going to be an evening of refined tradition.” Guests hold, save, and revisit the suite, remembering your day for years to come.
