PAPER ROCK SCISSOR
Rich, saturated hues give this suite a bold, modern look, while meticulous floral line drawings deepen the mystique with a neo-Victorian vibe. The clean, white typeface brightens the mood, and the pink liner softens the dark envelope. A custom wax seal with the couple’s initials fastens the invitation in a printed floral vellum wrap.

Black on black — foil lettering on paper — for the save-the-date card sets the tone for this Halloween wedding. The otherworldly floral images — from photos of selections by the bride’s florist — leave no doubt this will be an out-of-the-ordinary event. The invitation is tucked into a black pocket adorned with velvet ribbon and gold cording to add a touch of luxury.

EPITOME PAPERS
Step into a riot of blossoms reminiscent of the 17th century Flemish paintings that inspired this suite. The flowers are the star as they tumble across the invitation, detail card and envelope liner for a charming garden look. Cursive script and a classic font complement this unapologetically romantic design.
