Victorian Flourish Wedding Invitations

Do you love shimmering satin? Delicate flowers wrapped with silk ribbons? Then your style definitely fits with these Victorian Flourish wedding invitations that are created using a vintage fleuron design. They communicate a sense of timeless elegance, one that transcends across the centuries.

Color Combinations Communicate

The scrollwork can be customized to match your wedding colors or done in the elegance of a metallic silver as shown in this example. The custom metal foil stamping gives the scrolling a greater relief and added richness. The fonts used in your Victorian Flourish wedding invitations can also be customized to further personalize your invitations to match your style down to the tiniest detail. Ink colors and fonts chosen will greatly influence the final flavor.

These Victorian Flourish wedding invitations are printed on a lovely bridal off-white, but your paper color choices are as broad as your ink and font choices. The elegance just takes on a different flavor with changes to light pastels or a classic black background. One creates a high-tea elegance, while another creates the freshness of a Victorian spring garden. With the guidance of a professional designer, you can be assured that all the details of your invitation design will blend together perfectly.

Satiny Smooth or Soft Texture?

The thickness and texture of your invitation paper is also important to the overall impression that is communicated through your wedding invitations. This is another area where our print designer’s experience can provide the direction you need to narrow down your choices to those that are most suited to your overall theme.

A Matched Set

Continuing the theme of your Victorian Flourish wedding invitations through to additional stationery pieces provides continuity and encompasses all the events surrounding the wedding ceremony in the same sense of beauty and romance. A response card is a must for accurate counts for your wedding ceremony and reception, but an events schedule printed on matching letterpress cards can be a memento that is as functional as it is beautiful.

Your wedding is a once in a lifetime event that is celebrated with your closest family and friends. It is the day when two lives merge into one. Weddings are the one event in our society that guests take note of the details and remember them long into the future. Every one of those details becomes part of a memory, not just for you, but for them

Black Wedding Invitations

Black Wedding Invitations

Black wedding invitations with white foil stamping feature a poster style layout and a square shape for a cool and modern wedding. For these invitations we used a super-smooth and super-black paper, mounted to a 220lb white cotton backer. An unmistakably elegant and formal look for these black and white invitations. Accessory pieces were letterpress printed in black on white 110lb paper, and mailed in white cotton envelopes.

Unique invitations

Our clients came to us looking for something unique and different for their evening wedding at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, DC. They wanted something formal for their fall wedding but not the usual white invitations. We selected a modern font in a poster-style grid layout, combined with using white printing on black wedding invitations as a twist on wedding invitation tradition. The whole look stayed formal and elegant, especially by making the whole piece very thick with the addition of a 2-ply cotton backer. By using letterpress for the accessory pieces, there was no mistaking this was going to be a formal wedding!

The Beauty of Foil Stamping

Using foil stamping makes possible some effects that are usually not possible with other print methods. It is often not possible to get a light color print on a dark paper, but for these black wedding invitations a fabulous white foil stamp applied to black paper gave a dramatic black and white look. Other color combinations are also deeper and more vibrant, like a true black on silver paper. The most frequent use of foil stamping is to get a shiny metallic look, such as gold or silver printing on wedding invitations.

Black Foil Silver Wedding Anniversary Invitation

Black Foil on Silver Paper

How else would you celebrate a silver wedding anniversary, but with a Black Foil Invitation stamped into silver metallic paper? This party was held at the renowned Speke Resort along the northern shore of Lake Victoria, Uganda. We were told that, as it is a tradition, the invitations were hand delivered.

Why a Silver Anniversary for 25 Years of Marriage?

Answer: Tradition! Some traditional gifts for the wedding anniversaries for the first and second year is paper and then cotton. (You’re covered here if you pick up some personal stationery since we mostly print on cotton paper.) The large milestones afterwards are the 10th Year (Tin/Aluminum), 15th Year (Crystal), 20th Year (China), 25th Year (Silver) and the 30th Year (Pearl). For anything afterward, we believe that it should be a vacation to an exotic destination including and a bottomless margarita. Although the 60th anniversary is a Diamond, it was interesting to discover that the 90th anniversary is a stone!

Invitation Personalization

How do you get rich textured invitation like this? Well that’s easy, you get in touch. You can have one of these in a typography design that fits your celebration theme whether it’s a wedding invitation or a corporate event, all we have to do is change the paper, the color of the foil (it comes in hundreds of colors including silver foil, bronze foil, copper foil, gold foil, white foil, blue foil, etc.), and choose the fonts and lay out the type. For paper selection, it can have a shine to it, or it can be a matte finish. The paper can also have a textured background which looks great when letterpressed. The typography can be traditional, poster design, modern slender fonts, the positioning of the type can be at an angle.
