Modern Art Deco Letterpress Wedding Invitations

Modern Art Deco Letterpress Wedding Invitations

Eric and Mark wanted something minimalist with a modern art deco feel for their invitations, and they found it with our Lexsa design. We worked directly with this couple to create their dream wedding invitations for their Cleveland wedding at Truss.

This design has a modern art deco aesthetic with a geometric twist. The clean lines and crisp typography create a look that feels both sophisticated and contemporary, while the use of fine parallel lines and block framing adds depth. The color palette features two complementary shades of blue, adding to the refined, understated elegance of the design. Even the layout of the text is edgy, with the couple’s names in the top-left corner and the wedding details in the bottom-right corner. Using the alternate corners provides balance while incorporating the blank portions into the design and maintaining a contemporary look.

The welcome party card closely mimics the invitation design, although there are a few key differences. The blue hues that make up the border are swapped from the invitation to the welcome party card. This design choice maintains consistency, ensuring the cards coordinate while introducing an interesting visual effect. All the text is centered on the welcome party card, which is a better fit for the smaller card.

The details card features the Cleveland skyline printed in crisp white on our royal 1-ply stock. This card features a more stripped-down design, only featuring the less extravagant of the two fonts.
