Signature Spotlight: Debonair

Signature Spotlight· Wedding Invitations

5 Feb

The Debonair invitation perfectly showcases some of my favorite letterpress details! Elegant typography crisply pressed into soft cotton paper, paired with wide pink stripes. The slightly translucent nature of letterpress ink means the paper texture shows through a bit in the pink portions, giving the design a slightly vintage feeling.

With just a few tweaks, this versatile design goes from vintage and feminine to formal with a preppy twist. Elizabeth and Adam customized the Debonair design by removing the stripes, changing the fonts and layout ever so slightly, and choosing an emerald green and navy color combination.

Adding a monogram to your wedding invitation is another great way to really personalize the suite! A monogram is also an element that can be easily applied to other areas of your wedding decor (add it to your favor tags, the front of your ceremony program, or have it made into a cake topper!)

You can’t go wrong with a neutral palette of gray and slate – perfect for a timeless wedding at a country club!

Deciding on the colors for your wedding stationery Deciding on the colors for your wedding stationery can be so hard. And even if you're certain that you want a pink envelope liner, how can you tell from a photo online that it will be the soft blush you're hoping for and not a bright bubblegum pink?⠀⁠
Whether you're debating between two colors, or just want to feel the paper texture for yourself, a sample pack is the perfect way to do it!⠀⁠
Visit shop.banterandcharm.com to pick out your favorite design, and I'll send a package full of pretty paper your way!⠀⁠

Looking to add a little color to your invitation s Looking to add a little color to your invitation suite? Sometimes a pretty ribbon and a pink envelope are all it takes! I love the classic neutral colors in the Harmony invitation suite, but adding a little pink is such a sweet feminine detail (without being too girly!)⠀⁠
