Borgias 15th Century Inspired Invitation Suite

15th Century Inspired Custom Invitation

Red Velvet Boxed Invitations

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!

Embellished 15th Century Inspired Velvet Invitations

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 :)

Borgias Inspired Wedding Invitations

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.

Renaissance Wedding Invitations

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....

Gothic Wedding Save The Date Card

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.

The suite was mailed in an antique gold envelope sealed with a custom red wax seal.

Um, yeah. I gotta say, I LOVE!!

Velvet and Bling... what a way to celebrate a Milestone Birthday!

Velvet Pocketholder Invitations

Going through our portfolio of items we have yet to share, I found these adorable velvet pocketholder invitations we created for a fabulously joyful 75th birthday celebration planned by

Wennifer Donald of First Impressions Event Planning Co. in Hotlanta.

The theme for the event was Top Hats and Tiaras, and Ms. Louise loves bling... so we found this adorable sparkling tiara brooch to embellish her invitation.

The whole ensemble was packaged in a shiny black gloss mailer box, wrapped with red satin ribbon, and sent on their way. Love!

Fabulously Elegant Velvet Invitations

Custom Velvet Folio and Velvet Box Invitations

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.

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!!!
