These letterpress invitations have playful botanical illustrations with a clean contemporary layout, creating a look that is cheerful, stylish, and slightly vintage. Hayes and Nick worked with us to customize our retro-inspired Cyrus design for their big day.

The eye-catching floral artwork is lively and organic, and reminiscent of Scandinavian or mid-century textile patterns. The repeating pattern gives the artwork structure and a modern vibe, while the ample blank space along the edges of the card allows the bold artwork to stand out. The use of red and orange hues is perfect for a fall wedding, especially on the East Coast. Cherry edge painting adds an unexpected pop of color. Our Bright White smooth cotton stock is the perfect background, showcasing the stunning hues.

The typography mixes a casual script font for the couple’s names with a clean sans-serif font for the text. This complementary pairing balances playful elegance with a modern structure. The layout further emphasizes the square card.

A highly functional details card provides information for a welcome event, specifics for the big day, and also serves as a reply card. An accordion-fold design provides plenty of space for details and looks good, thanks to the artwork on the first panel and the bold color palette throughout.

Whether you have your heart set on something retro-inspired, want a bold, seasonally appropriate color palette, or want the functionality of an accordion fold, we can make it happen. Contact us to learn more about our design process and get started creating your dream invitations.

The inspiration behind these invitations is our Sedna design. The couple chose to maintain the invitation layout and keep the same fonts, but then they got creative. While they kept the belly band, they swapped out the Art Deco shell pattern of the inspiration design for artwork depicting a nature scene. The belly band secures all the cards in the suite when in the envelope. In this instance, it also introduces vibrant pastoral artwork. When wrapped around the invitation, the belly band also covers a part of the invitation that is void of printing. This attention to detail allows the pieces to complement one another.

The details card is equally stunning. This 6-panel accordion fold card features the full rundown of events during the wedding weekend. Everything from the Friday golf outing through Sunday brunch is represented on a panel. Each panel features artwork or a motif from our design library, with a hand-drawn look that coordinates with the custom artwork on the first panel. The final panel provides reply details, allowing this piece to serve as both a details card and an RSVP card.

The rehearsal dinner invitation takes a much more simplified approach, while still coordinating with the other pieces. Spruce letterpress printing matches the envelope liner, while a digitally printed wedding band motif serves as the only adornment. This card is understated and charming.
