Julie and Gilbert’s wedding invitations feel like summer. Lovely, delicate florals, a romantic script font, and a soft color palette are quietly elegant, seasonally appropriate, and incredibly beautiful. This design merges elements from our Melrose and Hadaway designs, creating something enchanting and unique. This couple worked with our dear friend Karen of XOXO, Frances, to create their garden romance wedding invitations.

The airy layout is traditional yet laidback and approachable. The script font for the names lends the design a subtle formality while maintaining an affable nature. Our garden letterpress ink softens the look while simultaneously enhancing the botanical vibe. The layout is borrowed from our Melrose design. While the couple liked the floral border from Melrose, it just wasn’t what they had in mind, so they used the envelope liner pattern from Hadaway and repurposed parts of it to create a loose, organic border. The loose arrangement of the flowers is reminiscent of wildflowers naturally scattered, giving the design an effortless, meadow feel.

The details card is as lovely as it is functional. The accordion fold design means guests need to open it, almost like a gift.

Fun motifs serve as bullet points for the itinerary list while introducing a fun, lighthearted vibe.
