Fabulous Lace Slide Invitations

Lace Slide Silk Invitation

So I have been a really bad blogger! It seems like forever since I have posted something new... I have almost forgotten how to do it ;) But I am going to try to take some time this week to share some of the fabulous invitations that have left the studio over the past few months,

starting with this GORGEOUS lace and dupioni silk slide invitation

we created as part of a sample package for a doll of a bride we are working with.

We created a rigid silk backer panel and added a lace band in the front.

The lace was hand-dyed (using coffee... go green, right :)

and embellished with a small rhinestone and satin ribbon.

The two layer invitation was printed on shimmery Quartz cardstock.

I just love, love, love this invitation!

And although the couple ultimately choose a different (albeit equally fabulous) invitation suite from the collection, I am sure glad I got the opportunity to create this one.

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!

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

Hand Painted Invitations

Hand-Painted Peony Invitation

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!

Unique Birth Annoucements

Unique birth announcements by Revelry Invitation Studio

I have baby on the brain. Baby, Baby, Baby! So I thought I would pull out some of the unique designs we have done in the past that celebrate the birth of new little ones. Birth announcements, you say? Yep. A one-trick-pony we are not. Although the bulk of our business has been dominated by luxury events and weddings, we have been known to dabble in other momentous occasions as well.

Damask Duo of Pocketfold Invitations

Damask Pocketfold Invitations

It has been a crazy few weeks here in the studio (and in my personal life), and I am happy to finally have a quiet morning to be able to share some of the fabulous things that have left the studio recently. Like this duo of damask pocketfold invitations created for a couple whose nuptual-theme is inspired by simple elegance and strength.

The first set is creaetd from a black pocketfold, matted with a red cardstock layer, and finished with a damask printed on crisp white stock. A red satin ribbon adds definition and separation, while a modern monogram adds softness to an otherwise very powerful and bold presentation. Enclosure cards are crafted from 3 layers of damask stock, red card stock and a crisp white text layer.

The pocket was wrapped in a satin ribbon and finished with a custom monogram seal.

The white version shows as a softer version of the black, although most elements remain the same. Have I ever mentioned how much I absolutely adore damask? LOVE!

Enclosure cards in this set have a red stock back, a damask layer, and a crisp white text layer.

A more regal presentation is given by a wide red satin ribbon and a rhinestone buckle. If you know me and my designs, you know I let very few things leave the studio without a little sparkle. Everyone should shine on their wedding day!

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!!!
