This sophisticated and classy invitation suite may be from a few years ago, but it still makes my paper loving heart happy every time I see it! Metallic silver letterpress on super thick navy blue card stock is just the beginning! @katiewhitcomb captured this perfect close up (and aren't the bride's earrings stunning as well?!!)⁠

Unique, out of the ordinary invitations are great Unique, out of the ordinary invitations are great and sooo much fun to design, but I'll always have a sweet spot in my heart for a classic and traditional design. There's a reason some things never go out of style - whether it's a little black dress, the perfect shade of red lipstick, or a perfectly typeset letterpress invitation, they all have a timeless aesthetic that will look classy, not dated, 20 years from now.�⁠

Incorporating a bride’s color palette into her w Incorporating a bride’s color palette into her wedding invitations has become one of my favorite puzzles to solve! There are so many ways to combine colors through the various pieces in an invitation suite, and something as simple as using a colored envelope for the RSVP card can have a huge impact on the overall look.⁠
