You’ll want to take a moment, or several, to enjoy Betsy and Brian’s Southern garden wedding invitations. Cheerful color, whimsical florals, elegant die-cut shapes, and sophisticated typography are just part of what this wedding stationery set has to offer. This lovely couple worked with our dear friend Lindsey of Mrs. Post Fine Stationery & Gifts to create this charming custom stationery.

The save the date was the first item guests saw, and it does not disappoint. The scalloped edge is emphasized by a letterpress border that follows the gentle curves. Sophisticated typography feels joyful, polished, and full of personality. The front of the card features our Bella sky 2-ply stock, which is duplexed to our moss 1-ply. This technique creates a lovely 3-ply card and introduces an unexpected pop of color that is delightful and imaginative.

The invitation draws inspiration from the save the date, but ups the elegance factor. Bella cotton paper introduces a decadent texture, while gold matte foil stamping introduces glamour. Edge painting in hunter highlights the beveled edge.

The graceful calligraphy creates a romantic focal point, while the classic serif font provides balance and structure. Our spruce paper is a lovely muted green which pairs perfectly with white engraving. Engraving is a traditional form of printing that creates a raised impression, and it’s excellent for creating the crisp lines of the serif font and the thin swooping flourishes of the hand calligraphy. 

This card also features a blind emboss border. Embossing creates a raised impression, which in this case mirrors the raised engraving. The thick border beautifully frames the text while adding dimension and enhancing the tactile quality of the 2-ply paper. The edges of the invitation were beveled and then painted in white to match the engraving and add an extra flair. 

An oval tag bearing the couple’s calligraphed initials is a darling addition. The tag features our spruce paper with white engraving to maintain a cohesive feel with the card. The tag is secured to the invitation with metallic twany thread for a subtle shimmer. The striped envelope liner completes the tailored, polished look. 

Every element feels intentional and refined, favoring the simplicity of the design and craftsmanship. The overall aesthetic is modern yet timeless. Are you envisioning a rehearsal dinner invitation with the classic good looks of engraving or the charming addition of a monogram tag? Work with one of our dealers to design the wedding stationery of your dreams.
