rustic + elegant wedding invitations in black and gold foil

These rustic yet elegant wedding invitations were custom created for Cara and Jay’s Park City, Utah wedding and bring together two of our favorite things – gold foil and location specific motifs. The invitation and additional cards were left unadorned, printed in gold shine foil and classic black ink without any other design elements. As an ode to the mountain vistas surrounding their venue, the St. Regis, one of our mountain motifs was printed in gold shine foil on the exterior of their pocketfold.

summertime customization of Louie Award winning letterpress wedding invitations

Diana and Logan customized our Louie Award winning Elodie letterpress wedding invitations for their Washington, D.C. wedding earlier this summer. The warm color palette of vine and light peach inks set against our ivory paper complimented the tranquil charm of their historic venue, President Lincoln’s Cottage (President Lincoln developed the Emancipation Proclamation while living here!).  To help guests navigate the weekend, a tri-fold card was included with panels dedicated to the wedding website, rehearsal dinner and post-wedding brunch.

Monochromatic elegant wedding invitations

Mary and Elizabeth chose our Leigha Spring design for their elegant wedding invitations.  They made a few small but significant changes – like switching up the orientation of the design, centering the formal text and printing in a monochromatic palette of charcoal and pale gray inks. The overall effect is refined and classic from the invitation through to the reply, reception and events cards.
