We worked with Write on Sarasota to create these Avignon inspired gold foil wedding invitations for Hannah and Zachary. They kept the gold foil border as well as the font combination from the original design. However, they changed the design up by incorporating Raspberry letterpress to each piece within the suite. The raspberry ink certainly adds a pop of unexpected color in all the right places. Finally, the gold matte envelope liner in our Narcissus pattern brought in a botanical element to this set.
We see a variety of save the date styles come through our shop, but some of our favorites include a snapshot of the bride and groom to be. Using a photo from your engagement session is a great way to personalize your save the date and make it completely your own. Take a peek at some of the different ways we have printed these type of save the dates below!
Kelsey and Mark decided to go for a dramatic black and white photo that covered the entirety of their save the date with a splash of Gold Matte foil for an added wow factor. They also decided to add a botanical cartouche that held their monogram which can be easily carried over to other paper goods likes invitations and day of pieces for consistency. Save the dates are also a great place to include any website information so that your guests can get a sneak peek of what’s to come! We’re so glad we got the chance to work with Jenny’s Paper, Ink to make this save the date come to life.

Meresa and Eric got married this past December at the Omni Amelia Island Plantation. These polished foil stamped wedding invitations beautifully reflect their resort in Amelia Island, Florida. The invitation was printed in our Navy letterpress color and Gold Mate foil stamping accents on our gray paper, a color combination that creates an elegant overall aesthetic. The color palette was also carried onto the insert cards as well as onto the belly-band which featured a monogram in honor of Meresa and Eric. Throughout the suite, little botanical elements were added throughout the suite to add a romantic touch to this formal suite. The gold matte envelope liner tied everything together effortlessly with the help of Creative Touch.
Justine and Jones took our Bloomsbury design and made it into something completely their own for their October affair. These playful watercolor wedding invitations were printed in our Gold Matte foil with dreamy florals added in a palette of pinks as the backdrop.

The rehearsal dinner set was kept safe and sound in a corresponding sleeve to give the set a little extra dose of individuality. Guests will be pleasantly surprised to find this same theme carried onto the welcome tags and thank you set as well. This spirited set wouldn’t have been possible without the help of No Regrets- OK and we have no doubt the wedding of Justine and Jones came together just as beautifully as their suite.
