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
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
 
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....
 
Gothic Wedding Save The Date Card
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
 
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
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
 
The ensemble was letterpressed in antique gold and deep red on thick natural white cotton stock.

How fabulous are these?  I absolutely LOVE these acrylic and butterfly invitations, and the bride is totally over-the-moon about them too!

She wanted something dimensional that wasn't going to create a complete headache when shipping them all over the country.  And bright yellow was a MUST.  So we came up with these gorgeous acrylic sandwich invitations embellished with hand painted feather butterflies and laid the whole thing in a chocolate brown box filled with yellow silk rose petals.  Absolutely fabulous!

You have probably realized the peony box is our signature invitation. But we're still finding ways to make it fresh and new. Case in point, this gorgeous lavender-grey dupioni box with lavender satin ribbon and a pink peony decked out so perfectly I'd wear it in my hair as a headpiece!

Adorable Custom Baby Shower Invitations

So I still haven't gotten my birth announcements out.  My son was born in September.  But I did manage to get these absolutely adorable baby shower invitations out the door for a doll of a client having her first baby! 
There's just something about working on baby stationery... even though I strive for perfection in everything that leaves with the Studio name, it's always less stressful, less frazzled, and just generally smiley when there is a baby involved :)

The custom embossed seal on the front was printed in glitter ink, and then we sprayed the front with pixie dust to give it all a little shimmer and sparkle (and I do love me some sparkle ;)

Baby Bottle Baby Shower Invitations

These turned out to be quite the project!  We planned to use a retailed laser cut paper, but upon order placement were told it had been discontinued and there wasn't enough available ANYWHERE in the world for the project!  There is always a wrench thrown in every project.  This was the wrench.  So we created this adorable custom cut baby bottle paper instead.  LOVE!

Baby Feet Baby Shower Invitations

Our client was using baby foot prints on her website, and so we knew we had to incorporate them here (TINY FEET... ADORABLE!!!)

And tiny feet custom envelope liners are so cute I was tempted to make them a permanent addition to all my correspondence cards. My partners said no.  Probably wise, but I still think it is too cute!  And the return address... TINY FEET!  Love it!

Our client was having a onesie decorating station at the shower, and wanted to incorporate that somehow too... so we created custom cardstock onesies where invitees could share a piece of wisdom, advice, or a good wish as a keepsake. 

Aaahhh, babies. Makes me smile.  Now if only I could find the time to let my friends and family know that I've recently had one... Well, they'll figure it out when their invited to his graduation party ;)

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.

Embroidered 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.

Fairytale Wedding Invitations

A while back, a client came to me because she was having a ten year anniversary vow renewal ceremony, and wanted fabulous invitations to match the fabulous event.  After some brainstorming, we came up with these fantastic gold taffeta fairytale storybooks.

I asked her for photos from their wedding and courtship, as well as honeymoon.  It brought a big smile to my face knowing this gal trusted me so much as to share these special  moments.  But then I had to figure out a way to organize them into a story.  Below are some of the first pages of her fairytale.

Each book was post bound, and was embellished with a 9" wide organza ribbon and a sparkling rhinestone cluster.  Each mailer was wrapped in metallic gold paper, wrapped with a white satin ribbon, and finished with a custom 3-layer cardstock address seal.


Fairytale Wedding InvitationsWe also created the fabulous programs for the event, as well as table numbers, placecards, and a custom guestbook.
