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

Vintage Washington DC Wedding Invitations

There are few cities as iconic as Washington DC. As the capital of the nation, the name itself speaks to the richness of our long heritage of democratic leadership. Weddings set in this historic city can tie into that rich sense of patriotic history with Vintage Washington DC letterpress wedding invitations. The vintage style letterpressed images of the Presidential monuments create a stately landscape of architectural elegance. The vintage Washington DC map printed on the interior envelope liner creates a double emphasis of the theme.

Color Can Change Everything

The understated charcoal gray used in this example adds to the vintage feel of this design. A simple change to the ink color of this print can totally transform the look of these vintage Washington DC wedding invitations. Sharp black on bright white would provide a classic but modern look, while brighter colors would connect with the energetic vibe of Washington DC. In the example above we’ve added a splash of color to the stationery set by printing the reception card on a contrasting stationery color. Color accents can be made with ink choices, stationery colors or subtly with color added to the edges of stationery pieces.

Fonts Make a Statement

Take note of the font used on the vintage DC wedding invitations above. The font is simple in form, but increasing the size and bolding the lettering provides prominence for the names of the bride and groom. Just like color, it is important to choose a font that fits with the style of your event. These choices can be greatly simplified when working with an experienced print designer who can make font and color recommendations based on a short consultation with the bride and groom.

The Importance of Paper

The paper you choose for your Washington DC wedding invitations can make a big difference on the final look that is achieved when the design and font type is applied. It is important to see how the fonts and colors you’ve chosen will appear on various types of letterpress paper. Does the paper truly complement the colors and font types? Should it be smoother or should it have more texture? What will it feel like in the hands of your guests when they open it and read it? Each of these individual choices combine together to create wedding invitations that artistically represent the lifetime commitment that will be honored on your wedding day.
