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.
