Champagne Inspired Gold Foil + Letterpress Wedding Invitation

Jane and Dana were married this past weekend at The Barn at Flanagan Farm in Buxton, Maine.  They came to me by way of the fabulous Meagan Gilpatrick of Maine Seasons Events for all their paper goods.  The lovely couple were planning a fun, laid-back, weekend-long celebration for their friends and family who were traveling from all parts of the world to Jane's homestate of Maine.  With a love for glittlering gold accents and champagne, I set out to create a festive invitation suite worthy of their affair!

We paired the suite with the bright and summery Vintage Seed Packet Stamps (seriously, how great are these?).  The envelopes were calligraphed by one of my favorites, Astrid Wendth of Astrid Elizabeth Calligraphy & Design.  I did not get a photo of them, but the ink was gold and gorgeous. 

The suite was foil stamped in gold and letterpress printed in grey inks on bright white 100% cotton paper, paired with coordinating white envelopes.

Elegant Bird Gold Foil + Letterpress Wedding Invitation

The lovely, soon-to-be-married couple, Bonnie and Tim came to me loving a past wedding invitation featuring two little lovebirds.  They are planning a beautiful nature-inspired wedding at Comme, a contemporary and chic bistro located in an elegant 1880s renaissance revival building in the heart of Melbourne, Australia. 

For their invitation suite, we included an invitation, outer envelope, reply card, and coordinating envelope.  Both the invitation and reply card had an elegant border and two lovebirds in the bottom corner. which were foil stamped in a shining gold.  We chose an elegant, whimsical script letterpress printed in a bright pool blue.











I love how the gold foil makes the birds' feathers look like they are fluttering when the light hits it just right. So beautiful! 

P.S. The lime green chandeliers at Comme are stunning.  They are worth checking out!
