This modern and moody customization of our Everly design is inspired by a contemporary and sleek wedding set in a chic venue with elegant wood and white elements brought together with a warm gold-toned palette. Touches of black and moody florals bring bold interest to this sophisticated affair.

Designer Jessica Downs drew inspiration from an elegant and ethereal garden wedding when creating her Everly design. “I imagined a wedding filled with natural greenery, golden candlesticks with illuminating candles, and soft textures of linen and silk in lovely shades of ivory and white,” says Jessica. Those delicate textures inspired a design of classic typography printed in a neutral shade of gray with a custom ivy monogram and a coordinating envelope liner in soft shades of green.

Our Joie de Vivre design was customized with an icy palette of french blue and silver foil on Sabrina’s letterpress sweet sixteen invitations for her recent celebration in New York City. A girly font played up the feminine feel of the design while the cool palette and mist shine foil stamped envelope liner gave off a winter wonderland vibe that was perfect for her February celebration.

Jessica and Tyler celebrated with family and friends on the eve of their wedding with cocktails and jazz at Bevolo Gas & Electric Lights Museum and Showroom in the heart of the French Quarter. With the help of our friends at Mrs. Post Fine Stationery & Gifts we customized our Heathcliff design with a copper lantern and a palette of copper and gray that mimicked the warmth of their unique venue. An enclosure card invited guests to coffee the morning after the wedding, and an industrial inspired pattern was used to tie in the digital and foil stamped envelope liner in the same vintage palette.

Designer Racheal Bumbolo was drawn to Atlanta’s Swan House when concepting her Sampson design. “My main sources of inspiration were marble tiles, golden accents, and the grace of elegant mansions. Swan House was made with entertainment in mind with its carefully thought out architecture and design – a place to easily be inspired by. The mansion, constructed at the end of the Jazz Age, inspired me to bring in a touch of vintage via the marble pattern and the storybook-like wording. Pairing that with a modern layout brings a fresh look to the design.”

Our Rosette design is a secret garden come to life, complete with romantic roses, gold highlights, and vintage inspired typography.
“When creating Rosette I was inspired by old world castles and secret gardens,” says designer Lindsy Talarico. “Think dimly lit rooms filled with fresh roses and hidden passageways leading to an overgrown garden blanketed with fog.”
