Elissa and Austin’s wedding stationery perfectly blends different styles into a beautiful, cohesive suite that is completely custom and personal. A soft, earthy color palette, handmade paper, and velvet had us swooning. We worked with our friend Trisha of Shindig Paperie in Fayetteville, Arkansas, to create these romantic, minimalist engraved invitations for Elissa and Austin’s nuptials.

The invitation design is traditional with engraving on our handmade paper. Metallic copper ink adds a touch of sparkle to the very stately invites while adhering to the cozy, sun-baked color palette of the overall design.

The inner envelope is also made from our handmade paper in ivory, complete with deckle edges along the pointed flap. A velvet liner adds warmth and even more texture. The minimalist artwork on the front of the inner envelope, letterpress printed in nutmeg ink, nods to the landscape surrounding the wedding destination.
