Filigree Border Wedding Invitations
A Classic Foundation for a Washington DC Wedding
The Filigree Border suite is designed for couples drawn to timeless elegance and rich, tactile details. Inspired by the formal Washington DC venue of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, this design blends traditional letterpress craftsmanship with velvet, gold foil, and refined typography.
The result is a suite that feels formal, polished, and enduring, perfect for black-tie celebrations and classic architectural settings.
Letterpress Invitations with Ornate Detail
The invitation and reply card are created using letterpress printing, leaving a deep, tactile impression in the paper. An intricate filigree border frames the layout, adding structure and ornament without overwhelming the typography.
Letterpress brings a sense of permanence and intention to the design. It’s a detail guests notice immediately, both visually and by touch.
Velvet Reception Card with Gold Foil
To complement the letterpress pieces, the reception card is die cut from velvet paper and finished with gold foil printing. The soft texture of the velvet paired with metallic foil creates a striking contrast to the crisp letterpress elements.
This piece is designed to stand apart while still feeling fully integrated into the suite.
Elevated Envelopes and Finishing Touches
The envelopes are finished with a custom velvet liner, adding an unexpected layer of luxury the moment the invitation is opened. Thoughtful finishing details like this are what turn a beautiful invitation into a complete experience.
Every element is designed to feel cohesive from the first impression to the final reveal.
From Save the Date to Wedding Day Stationery
Many couples begin with a save the date or invitation design like the Filigree Border, then continue the look throughout the wedding journey. From invitations and reply cards to programs, menus, escort cards, and signage, we design complete stationery suites that feel intentional and connected.
And yes, it often doesn’t stop there. We’ve been lucky to continue working with clients long after the wedding, designing everything from holiday cards to birth announcements.

The Filigree Border suite is just one example of our custom work. Colors, typography, paper selections, and printing methods can all be tailored to your event, venue, and personal style.
If you’re dreaming of a Washington DC wedding with classic elegance and elevated materials, this design offers a beautiful starting point.
