Borgias 15th Century Inspired Invitation Suite

15th Century Inspired Custom Invitation
Red Velvet Boxed Invitations
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 
 
This is the PERFECT fall wedding invitation!  I LOVE deep, luxurious red and these are sure to stand out of the crowd of wedding invites.  These gorgeous cushioned velvet pocket invitations were created with a 15th century inspiration.  The bride is having a magnificent renaissance themed wedding, and I believe these invitations (and the fabulous save-the-dates: see below) will be sure to get guests amped-up for the festivities.
 
Red Velvet Cushioned Pocket Invitations

We created a cushioned red velvet base and layered on metallic gold cardstock finished with matching red velvet gold-foil stamped paper.  By the way, velvet paper is by far one of THE coolest, most dramatic mediums on which to print your invitations.  You can order yours here!

The invitations were wrapped with gorgeous gold satin cording and finished with an intricate gold cross and photo frame with a photo of the couple (aawwww... aren't they beautiful?  :)
 
These pieces were attached to the cording with red wax, and were, by the way, custom manufactured overseas with a week-long deadline.  Eeesh... the incredible lengths we go to make the dream come alive :)

The enclosures fit in a pocket on the back side of the invitation.  Again, they were printed on that fabulous red velvet paper in gold foil.

The whole shebang was wrapped in parchment colored tissue sealed with a deep red wax seal and enclosed in custom-made gold mailer boxes (that matched the gold paper used on the invitations, natch ;)
 
And although I did a quick collage of the Save The Dates a while back, I thought I'd show a few photos of that masterpiece as well....

These were so fun to create!  We used graphic elements that came from an actual 15th century book, and period wood carvings to create this authentic period-inspired Save The Date.  The envelope liner came from a wood carving of an ancient wedding ceremony... too perfect!!
 
Gold and Red Renaissance inspired Save The Dates

The ensemble was letterpressed in antique gold and deep red on thick natural white cotton stock.

Um, yeah.  I gotta say, I LOVE!!

Where the Magic Begins

Custom Folio Invitation 

Custom Embroidered Microsuede Folio Invitation
All Rights Reserved

We recently had the pleasure of working with event planner extraordinaire Margaret Short, of Margaret Events in Naples, Florida.  She is not only fabulously friendly, she is a quintessential professional and the best of the best when it comes to event planning.  She came to us with an idea for an embroidered silk folio invitation for the Vintner Dinner at the Naples Winter Wine Festival. We ultimately turned out this luxurious aubergine microsuede folio invitation.

After learning about the Naples Winter Wine Festival, and the theme of "Believe in the Magic", I thought silk simply won't do... we need something stronger, something with a little more presence and power. My vision was instantly microsuede, and I am so glad she saw my vision because these custom folios turned out exquisitely.

The invitation packed just enough punch with gold foil text and simple gold satin corner pockets, while the enclosure included a trademark graphic from the event.

Embossed Pocketfold Invitation

Embossed Pink and White Pocketfold Invitation
Embossed Pink and White Pocketfold Invitation
All Rights Reserved

I think I have pink on the brain.  Our company is remodeling... new staff, a new look, a new line of invitations (all to be launched in November... yay!!).  And pink plays a big part in our revamp, so what better way to kick it off than by showing these delightful Hot Pink and White embossed pocketfold invitations we did for a lovely Aussie lass, married in Queensland this summer?  No better way, I tell you! :) 

Embossed Pink and White Pocketfold Invitation

All Rights Reserved

The design was inspired by a white on white embossed pocketfold invitation we had done as a tester for retail marketing, and our client loved the look... but needed a little extra punch to make it really hers.  Not hard to do with her fabulous color scheme.

The exterior of an otherwise ho-hum white pocketfold was hand-embossed with a swirly print using a custom-mixed pearlescent Azalea raised ink.

The pocket was sealed with a three layer monogram seal composed of pearlescent white stock, Azalea pearlescent stock and a matte white text layer.  Not to leave any detail unaccounted for, velcro was used to ensure no tearing when the pocket was opened.  Love that ;) 

During the proofing phase, we created a couple options for layering.

Given the option of Silver, Azalea, or Pearlescent White for layering, she ultimately choose to keep the whole thing streamlined, using just the Azalea as the punch color.

Fabulous Quinceanera Velvet Box Invitations

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.

Love This! New Butterfly Silk Slide!

Unique Silk and Satin Brooch Slide Invitation
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.


All Rights Reserved

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

Just a little inspiration to jump start the weekend ;)

Spring has Sprung Gatefold Silk Box Invitation

Custom-made silk box invitation with rhinestone closure
All Rights Reserved

My, my, my how the year is flying by!!  I can't believe we are headed toward the Ides of March already!  Let's hope it passes easily because we have some big projects on the board at the Studio and can not be slowed down one second!  Well, maybe one second... to show this adorable custom gatefold silk box invitation that has recently left the Studio floor ;) 

All Rights Reserved

We created this asymmetrical gatefold box using faux dupioni (that's right... not even the real stuff, and it is still uber fabulous)! we took a sumptuous satin ribbon and finished with with a sparkling rhinestone closure.  The box itself is only 5" x 7", however the style and design give it a presence that is much larger.

All Rights Reserved

The invitation was crafted from heavy weight metallic stock and slightly textured white card stock.  A fabulous custom monogram sat "below" the text, while satin corner pockets gilded with swarovski crystals finished the edges.

I love the springy colors and upbeat softness of this ensemble!  Makes me think that perhaps Spring really will pop in soon!

NEW!!! Hand Painted Invitations from Revelry Invitation Studio!

Hand Painted Invitations
Hand-Painted Peony Invitation
Revelry Invitation Studio, LLC All Rights Reserved

I am super excited about these hand-painted invitation mock-ups we created yesterday! Not only because I think they have fabulous potential, but because it is so out-of-the-box for us!  These gorgeous hand colored Peony invitations were inspired by a potential client who mentioned in a consultation that one of the flowers she would be using were peonies (and you know how gaga we are over those).  

Hand-Painted Peony Invitation

Each flower starts off with a Persian Blue embossed outline, and then each petal is filled and shaded, by hand, using a combination of artist chalks and pencils.  The petal tips and outlines are filled in with a gold ink.

This design is the first "rough draft" if you will for what will eventually become a custom pocket folder invitation.  A hand painted layered peony or monogram seal will complete the exterior.  The flowers are so reminiscent of the kinds of patterns you'd find on a fancy tea cup from the 1940's.  Love!!

The interior invitation has two embossed peonies with gold ink detail, and chalk and pencil coloring. 
Now that I have gone out on the limb, I have to say... I can't wait to explore this new-to-me invitation style.  Perhaps soon you will see a hand-colored line on our website.  Stay tuned!
