A dreamy color scheme and plenty of flowers set the perfect tone for Lauren and Mitchell’s wedding. This Brooklyn duo worked with Ashley Douglass Events, and the highly skilled and talented Ashley took care of all the details to create an intimate and unforgettable event. See all of the luxurious details, including the ombre invitations, in the feature on Carats & Cake.

The first thing guests noticed about the invitations was the digitally printed vellum gatefold. The bold floral pattern stood out, providing guests a preview of the florals they would see at the ceremony and reception. The gatefold was secured with a decadent silk ribbon. Once opened, the gatefold revealed the classic and yet whimsical invitations. Ombre letterpress printing transitioned from bright pink to persimmon. The beveled edges were painted in coordinating colors that followed the same fade from one color to the other.
