Sarah and Tony’s wedding invitation suite blends traditional wedding formality with contemporary design sensibility. The couple worked with our dear friend Colin from Pulp and Ink to create these modern heirloom wedding invitations.

Structured arches and framed panels nod to classic architecture and subtle Art Deco geometry, lending balance and ceremony to each piece. Each unique border represents the iconic and distinctive shapes of the buildings hosting the various events of the wedding weekend. This is a touching personal detail that makes the design extremely unique to the couple.

The pairing of our Goldenrod and Wedgewood letterpress inks feels elegant and airy, while carrying a sense of timelessness. The formal and relaxed serif font and generous spacing are refined and modern.

The motifs across the invitation, welcome card, and brunch card are printed in a heavy flood of color, creating a decorative summer vibe with hints of old-world charm.

Kelsey and Kevin worked with our lovely and talented friends at Smitten Boutique for their invitations, and we are so glad they did! This gold matte wedding invitation suite is a customization of our Florence design. Everything, from the invitation and gatefold to the rehearsal dinner invitation and transportation card, is elegant and timeless.

Chambray letterpress and gold matte foil perfectly complement one another, while our 2-ply cotton paper holds a deep letterpress impression. Custom artwork of the ceremony venue is featured in gold matte foil at the top of the invitation, making the card more meaningful and personalized.

Kelsey and Kevin made this design their own by adding a vellum gatefold wrap. The original invitation design features blind embossed floral accents. The couple chose to remove that artwork from the invitation but added it to the gatefold using pearl shine foil, adding a subtle glimmer.

All the cards in this suite have their own unique look while still maintaining a cohesive feel due to the use of consistent colors and artwork. The details card features white matte foil stamping on our asparagus velvet stock.

The soft blue handmade paper coordinates with the chambray letterpress found on the invitation, reply card, reception card, and rehearsal dinner invitation.
