The envelope liner features artwork supplied by the client, and everything was designed around this brilliant flower and leaf artwork. A single font appears throughout the entire suite, creating a streamlined look that allows the customer-supplied artwork to stand out. The invitation features a double-line border, lending the invitation a traditional look. The vibrant flowers in each corner break up the border. These floral accents add whimsy while maintaining the formality of the design. Near the bottom of the invitation, between the ceremony and reception information, appears a motif made by merging the flower and leaf artwork into a standalone emblem. This symbol, which is custom and unique to these invitations, also appears on the reply card.

The welcome party card features our smooth cotton 1-ply paper in white with a digital flood in our mesa ink. This card is printed in reverse, meaning everything except the text is printed. This technique creates the appearance of white text on color paper. The white text is the color of the paper without any printing. The mesa ink coordinates beautifully with the flowers on the invitation and the envelope liner.

Belly Band
digital: cmyk

finishing: assemble with the invitation

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.

We had the pleasure of working with our friends at Arni Paperie to create a lovely wedding invitation suite for Alyssa and Stephen. Custom floral artwork gave the entire suite a cohesive feel and perfectly complemented the reception venue, the rustic yet palatial Bedell Cellars in Cutchogue, New York.
This wedding suite is entirely custom. The floral artwork of the liner is a custom pattern that adds a wow factor as guests open their invitations. The floral motif on the invitation features flowers from the liner to tie everything together. Our 2-ply smooth cotton paper shows the deep impression of the vine letterpress printing, including the delicate lines of the Sophia script font used for the bride and groom’s names.
It is always a delight to work with Mel of Arni Paperie. Best wishes to Alyssa and Stephen!
