Crystal Embellished Vintage Modern Damask Wedding Invitation Suite! Modern, Elegant, & Fun!

This wedding invitation suite is especially close to my heart because it was a custom design for my little brother and his sweet fiance!  They gave me total freedom to design away and without question, "I commenced with enthusiasm!".  Keeping in mind, their bold color palette of black and white, with accents in red, my creative journey lead me to a canvas of damask scroll work and an array of mixed font types.
 This Crystal Embellished Vintage Modern themed wedding invitation set is "The Jenley Collection".  It's a GUARANTEED jaw dropper, according to all of their guests, whom ramped and raved! Likewise, the Bride & Groom were VERY happy with My Lady Dye!  The modern yet elegant design incorporates various damask scrolls and a heart graphic. The design has a funky feel with the fun and interesting mix of script and block type fonts and a classic elegant feel with the use of crystal and satin ribbon. Little design details such as font choice may seem minute, but when paired with bold graphics in an innovative layout, the end result is undeniably "mod".  And the vintage feel is reflected in the style of scroll work chosen.
 The invitation suite features a square crystal embellishment with wide satin ribbon detail. This 5 card set is organized in a 5 x 7 inch vertical pocket-fold.  The suite includes Invitation, RSVP, Hotel, Directions, and Reception cards.  The intricate design of the enclosure cards allows for an ascending staggered "pocket".  When the cards are presented together, they display one composite, clean, and elegant damask graphic.  When guests unveil each card from the pocket, they are then introduced to and entertained by a totally different graphic design.
The theme is carried onto the envelopes as well.  Both envelopes are addressed with a printed return and/or delivery address.  The invite and RSVP envelope both display a custom monogram that was designed for the suite. This detail adds continuity and personalization.  There are so many ways to personalize envelopes!  This is another great and fun way to excite your guests. Even more important, it will be their first impression to your invitation suite!  View my invitation collections for more examples of envelope detailing!
And you can't have a custom invitation design without a full matching stationery set!  Hence, I also designed their program, menu poster, seating chart, tented table names, place cards, candy jar labels, favor stickers, and tented signage for all their accents areas (candy bar, cookie bar, photo booth, drink bars, guest book table, and bathrooms). Their BIG DAY is right around the corner!  Photos coming soon!  Keep posted!  You can follow me on Facebook to keep up-to-date on all my new designs!

Like all my designs, this stationery set is available in any colors of your choice!  Contact me for questions, pricing, or quote.  View my Portfolio!  Chao!

A Wedding Invitation That Exemplifies Black, Gold, Regal, Luxurious, And Damask!

With a fabulous destination wedding in Hawaii, you gotta have FABULOUS wedding invitations! It was true for this special bride!  Black, gold, regal, luxurious, and damask, were her exact words! On top of that, she wanted her custom wedding invitations to be a gift boxed set!  And when a client tells me to just "run with it!", it's the greatest feeling in the world! As a designer, this is "THE" top reason why I love my job!

Her custom handcrafted gift boxed wedding invitation is full of great details including vintage medallions, satin ribbon, feathers, decorative vellum, metallic cardstocks, and custom graphics. The black and gold color theme was spiced up with a "pop" of bright fuchsia/bright magenta-purple. This accent color was used as a feather detail which was placed on the outer box with a belly band box wrap. The belly band wrap is a fully customized print that features a graphic pattern and a custom personalized monogram that I designed. This box detail wraps around the entire lid and continues the detail on the inside of the box as well.
Gift boxed invitations are a great way to make an impression! From first glance, to opening the gift box, to then experiencing the cards inside, these are all the events your guests will enjoy with a gift boxed invitation!
At first glance, their eyes widen with excitement! Remember, first impressions are last impressions! Then they open the extravagant box to reveal a regal invitation that has a vintage medallion that says "WOW"! Then they will untie the other cards and enjoy the entire set as each piece sparkles in gold metallic! A simple black matte box transformed into an extravagant gift boxed invitation!
This custom order was very unique, as each invite set featured a different medallion embellishment! All the great medallions reflected the same great look with all the black and gold details seen in each. The medallion as the focal point of the invitation card, was followed with a regal script font and custom damask graphics in black. The invitation card is detailed with many layers.  The print is layered with a decorative vellum, gold metallic cardstock, and backed with thick black matte board. The custom damask graphics are used through out the set on all the enclosure cards, which included an RSVP card, directions card, and a post-celebration card.
The enclosure cards are elegantly tied to the lid of the box with a black satin ribbon. All cards are printed on gold metallic cardstock. With a fabulous destination wedding, it's a "must" to have a directions card. Having knowledge of the exact driving route to each of the wedding events, will help your guests feel more relaxed.
Each gift boxed invitation set will have to be gift wrapped and postage will need to be placed. This is another fun detail that you get to play with once you receive your invites and get them ready to mail out. You can use whatever fun gift wrap you want. For this set, I show a sample of the final packaged invite wrapped in gold metallic wrapping paper. All gift boxed invitations come with a matching custom mailing label.  For this set, the label is printed on gold metallic cardstock. This detail is attached with double-sided tape and placed on the box after its wrapped. A matching typical sized address label is also designed and provided for the RSVP envelopes!
