Anne and Sven’s Custom Wedding Invitation Set

Anne and Sven’s wedding was set to the gorgeous backdrop of Italy’s Lake Como. Anne had come to me requesting a very simple, yet elegant invitation suite that would set the stage for their nuptials.

Classic Elegance

Each invitation would feature the individual guest’s name and be digitally printed in gold ink on soft, cotton paper. During my initial consultation with Anne, a simple and clean double border around the invite was discussed. However, the more I learned about the setting and elements of Anne and Sven’s wedding, more ideas came to mind. Still, I wanted to be very mindful of  Anne and Sven’s vision of their day. (Simple, classic and beautiful)

Anne had told me that they had been thinking of adding some pearls to the table decor. This inspired me to add a stylish flourish with printed beadwork and a small hand applied pearl drop to each invitation. I assured Anne that the invitation sets would still be very elegant and not too fussy. I added a shimmery pearlescent envelope liner in a soft cream color to reflect the luster of pearl. It served as a perfect textural compliment to the invitation set. I then went ahead and sent Anne and Sven a sample for approval.

I was so so happy they loved the idea and thought it the perfect fit for their big event!

It is honestly one of my biggest pleasures to collaborate with my clients and create a unique stationery suite that truly captures their spirit and the essence of the wedding.

Anne was gracious enough to share some photos of her gorgeous wedding this past May. Thank you and congratulations to the lovely couple!!!
