Navy Velvet Monogram Box Invitations

So, back in the day when I was young and innocent, I would have killed for invitations like these!  Heck, I would have killed for a party that warrants invitations like these.  Gorgeous, sumptuous navy velvet monogrammed boxes with invitations so spectacular and sparkly... there isn't a girl out there who wouldn't go ga-ga.

The color scheme for the event is virtually all white and silver with hints of navy blue to add depth and drama.  Lots of sparkle, lots of opulence.  Right up my alley :)

We created a velvet box with a 3-layer invitation composed of imported Italian metallic cardstock, glitter cardstock, as well as our signature Snow White matte cardstock. Added a silky navy satin ribbon and a glittering 2-tier rhinestone buckle embellishment, a hint of Swarovski's and... voila!  GORGEOUSNESS!

I have become a HUGE fan of glitter cardstock... especially the kind that doesn't shed glitter everywhere.  Savvy DIY-ers, listen-up... I don't share vendors often.  Want to add the shimmery sparkle seen here and not have to worry about getting glitter everywhere?  Check out Die Cuts With A View glitter stock.  You will not be disappointed.

Even the RSVP card is something one would want to keep as a keepsake.  3-layers, satin ribbon, Swarovski crystals, and an adorable custom monogram... LOVE!

The whole beautiful ensemble was encased in a custom rhinestone monogram velvet box.  

Note to self: Make sparkly monogrammed box for self.  Lots of them.

And we simply couldn't take such a gorgeous invitation and send it out in a raggedy ol' cardboard box.  So we dressed the box in shimmery silver paper, a silky satin ribbon and a fabulous 3-layer custom address seal.  Talk about adding to the anticipation.

Deco inspired Letterpress Invitations

Art Deco Inspired Letterpress Wedding Invitations

Copyright Revelry Invitation Studio.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

It seems like it's been forever since I had the pleasure of working with the lovely Katie Olson (Laughridge), owner and writer-editor of Wedding Fanatic... a blog that if you haven't checked out yet, you should march right over (after ogling her invitation pics here, of course ;)  Katie contacted me after I sent a cheeky Facebook message about ordering invitations once I had heard she was getting married.  Surprisingly, she called right away and we began working (happily) together instantaneously. 

We discussed her vision and the look he was hoping to achieve.  She was totally inspired by her reception site, The Grand Reserve in Kansas City, which is actually on old Federal Reserve Bank building. She said she was going for an elegant, deco-y kind of vibe.  As is my usual M.O., I asked for some inspiration photos.  She sent over a collection of photos, including the venue shots below.

When I opened the attachment of the last photo, I saw this...

A close-up of these gorgeous federal blue and gold medallions.  And Bam!  I had what I was looking for. 

I knew Katie wasn't my typical client.  She wasn't really interested in lots of bling, or embellishments; she didn't really have a penchant for silk boxes or out-of-the-ordinary presentations.  She wanted a classic, clean, very unique invitation that would reflect her very special day.  And I found it in these medallions.  After blowing up the images, and doing all kinds of digital manipulation (with some hand-drawing thrown in for the Luddite in me) I finally wound up with the extracted design we would use as the foundation for her invitation suite.

Armed with this, we created this beautiful letterpress suite...

I love the little sparkle added by the Swarovski crystals.  I have said before, and I'll say it again... it ain't mine if it don't shine :)

Copyright Revelry Invitation Studio, LLC ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

It is really the details that make an invitation suite go from "Oh, how pretty" to "Wow, that is gorgeous!" and the fabulous envelope liner that brought the medallion home I think was one of those totally unexpected "Wow" elements.  Love!

Katie had A LOT of directions to share.  From the hotels to the church, from the church to the reception site, and from the reception site back to the hotels... a single direction card was just not going to cut it.  So we created these adorable (and super useful) direction booklets.  Guests could just page through to find their next stop.  Easy peasy.

We used the same whimsical font used in her Save-The-Dates, and added a little bit of refinement by having them letterpressed.  I LOVE the gray color she chose... GORGEOUS!

This was such a fun project to work on!  I love being able to create something totally unique to a couple, and I think we did just that with these beauties.   Yay!

Love This! New Butterfly Silk Slide!

Unique Silk and Satin Brooch Slide Invitation

Copyright Revelry Invitation Studio, LLC

All Rights Reserved

So my new favorite presentation piece is the slide.  Ever since we created the lace and silk slide for a fabulous gal of a bride late last year, I have been trying to push this new style.  LOVE it!  Not only is it a more affordable alternative to a box or a folio, there are so many ways to make it really one-of-a-kind.  Take this adorable rhinestone butterfly brooch for example.  A big splash of satiny pink ribbon on a muted Iridium dupioni background sets the stage for this little lovely.

I just can't get enough of the simple playfulness of the brooch mixed with the uber chicness of the silk and satin.  LOVE!

Silk And Satin Brocade Box Invitations... DIY style!

Silk and Satin Box DIY Invitations

 

So I am finally getting around to posting pics of these GORGEOUS invitations created by one of our clients.  She came to Revelry Invitation Studio for custom boxes to enhance her fabulous invitation idea.  She saw our exclusive satin brocade folio on our website and knew that fabric would be perfect. 

The inspiration for her wedding was "Marie Antoinette hosts a Venetian Masquerade".  Each box was created using Baguette dupioni silk for the base and interior, and a gorgeous gold brocade satin for the lid.  We finished it off with a pink satin ribbon and a sparkling rhinestone buckle.

 And what a fabulous invitation she created! Gorgeous gold papers, a custom ivory jacket, ostrich feather, satin ribbon, custom wax seal... what more could a girl want?  Great job Catherine!  And congrats on your wedding!

Fabulously Elegant Velvet Invitations

Custom Velvet Folio and Velvet Box Invitations

Copyright Revelry Invitation Studio ~ All Rights Reserved

It has been so long and I miss my little blog so much!  It has been wicked crazy here in the studio this summer, and I feel super blessed.  Usually by this time we have started to slow down, but this year, the business is booming and I can't give enough "THANKS!!!" to my clients!  This is one of our most recent samples to go out.  Inspired by the quintessential uber-elegant black tie affair, this sumptuous velvet folio invitation screams luxury.

Copyright Revelry Invitation Studio ~ All Rights Reserved

The interior of this custom velvet folio is lined on the left with black velvet and on the right Black moire.  Antique Gold paper frames the matte cream text layer.  A single layer card stock response set is included for each guest so all attendees can be sure to receive the correct entree at the reception. Of course I can't let anything out of the studio without a little sparkle, so this folio invitation is embellished with 3 Swarovski crystals.

The bride also wanted the option of sending envelope mailable invitations, but still wanted the same elegance and textual appeal of the folio.  We created this black velvet cushioned back invitation pad with black moire on the invitation side as a solution.  Not what you'd expect to come out of your everyday wedding envelope, am I right?  Love it!

And of course, she fell in love with the simple elegance of our signature Garden Peony box invitation.  We modified the traditional silk box and created instead a luxurious black velvet box and embellished it with a gorgeous silk peony bloom.

Since her color scheme is so classic, we wanted to be sure to give her two options for the invitation itself, a cream dupioni silk backed invitation with black satin ribbon, and a black moire backed invitation with cream satin ribbon.  She is a huge fan of the moire fabric, so we lined the interior of the box with that as well. I can't get enough of these peony silk box invitations!  Love, Love, Love!!!

Garden Peony Silk Box

Garden Peony Silk Boxes shipping out of the studio today.  I just love these things! They make me so happy to look at.  And even though I think all the invitations we send out are stupendous, these just make me smile for the day.   We've done a couple versions in the past...

The Navy Garden Peony Silk Box with iridescent green ribbon...

Pink and blue for a Sweet Sixteen...

Our Signature Silk Box. "The Original"... the one that started it all :)

A Cactus Flower invitation for a (you guessed it) desert wedding.

And although this isn't a box, it was originally inspired by "The Original" Garden Peony Silk Box.  I love the crystal floral spray and the handmade paper roses.  Gorg!

Embellished Silk Pocket Invitations

These are some of the most fabulous invitations to leave the studio in a while.  We created these invitations for a Sweet 16 party with a Diamond's Are A Girls Best Friend theme.  I think we tackled the diamond part... we used over 9000 Swarovski crystals on this project!

Each invitation was creafted using Stardream crystal stock, glitter paper, and shiny greeting card stock.  Embellished with satin ribbon and a sparkling rhinestone buckle, the invitations were then placed in a dupioni silk pocket holder covered with crystals.

New Silk Invitation Boxes!

Revelry Invitation Studio, all rights reserved

I am so excited about the new silk boxes we are handcrafting at the Studio!  The popular overseas silk box manufacturers have dominated the industry with their affordable faux silk boxes... until today!  Due to popular demand (and the guts to finally give it a go), we have added similar styles to our handmade line-up.  Our new silk invitation boxes are crafted from 100% dupioni silk (as opposed to polyester) with roughly 200 colors to choose from, they're competitively priced, and proudly manufactured by a US based company!

Shown is a 6" x 6" x 1" flip-top lid box we created for a prominent East Coast luxury event stationery designer, who has had nothing but glowing things to say about our products.  We hope to add more styles and examples to our growing list of luxury invitation foundation pieces by the end of the month.
