Gold Art Deco Wedding Invitations

November 18, 2013

I had so much fun putting together the Glittery Gold Holiday Party Invitations post last week that I thought I’d go a little further with the golden trend and put together a collection of gorgeous, Art Deco style wedding invitations that feature either gold foil stamped or gold-inked elements. These Jazz Era-inspired designs are perfect for couples looking to add a little 1920s flair to their wedding celebrations.

Musical Instrument-Inspired Letterpress Wedding Invitations

October 29, 2013

I always look forward to seeing new projects in El Calitopo’s stream, and these amazing letterpress rosette wedding invitations caught my eye immediately. Completely crushable, no?

The beautiful, ornate design was inspired by the geometric shapes and lovely curves of musical couple Clara & Daniel’s instruments, specifically a rosette detail that features an intricate, knotted design which translated perfectly into a unique, revolving circle invitation that holds the rosette front, the wedding invitation, and an information card. Coordinating table numbers and cards with the names of the musical selections that were played during the ceremony were also created as a part of this unique and lovely suite.
