This design features engraving, a traditional print method that utilizes etched metal plates to create a raised impression. This technique is classic and timeless, and looks completely amazing when paired with our Bella 2-ply Cotton paper. The thin, delicate typography stands out against the thick, plush texture of the paper. 

The font selection feels formal and romantic. The couple’s names appear in a flowing script with dramatic swashes that serve as the focal point. While the remaining text appears more subdued than the bride and groom’s names, there are still plenty of dramatic flourishes, giving the overall design an intensity and vibrancy. 

Although romantic, the design remains uncluttered. Large amounts of white space emphasize the typography, creating a sophisticated feel. The invitation fits into a vellum gatefold for an added level of sophistication.

The envelope liner features a painterly floral artwork reminiscent of classical oil paintings. The flowers have a vintage gallery-like quality that evokes classic still-life paintings.

Whether you want the drama of an elaborate script font, the romance of a floral envelope liner, or the tradition of engraving, you can create what you want with any of our designs. Work with one of our dealers to create your perfect engraved wedding invitation set.
