It’s always a pleasure for us to have clients return to us to help bring the vision of the bride to life with paper, ink and a little something extra. This is the second time we assisted this busy mom for custom wedding invitations and we thank her for placing her trust in us. We wish this couple many great years ahead and plenty of grandchildren to fulfill the life of one of favorite mothers of two special daughters.

We dare not take all the credit for these invitations because to truly deliver a bride’s vision, you have to have many people involved. (When we get more information about the artist who penned these, we’ll update our post).
Our first meeting with the bride took place over the phone where we learned more about her taste and of course her venue. This was one of the first wedding receptions held at The Beekman, a Thompson Hotel.
Architectural Digest called it a transformation of a 19th Century Tower that was, “Transformed Into New York’s Most Beautiful New Hotel”. If you are going to have a luxury wedding this property should be a the top of the list.
The bride and groom were married at St. Peter’s Catholic Church, located at 22 Barclay Street-New York, NY 10007. We’re told that the ceremony was meant for such a historic Church.
A few months after the ceremony I penned a little thank you note to the mom for trusting us again to deliver. A few weeks later she wrote, “Thanks for all your help in making it a perfect day for them.” Your so welcome and remember that we also design and make custom baby shower announcements ; ).

And now for the custom New York, NY invitations for the wedding event of the season. It’s eye candy of a joint effort to bring together this luxury wedding invitation set. It’s a set of stacked cards with rounded corners and a shimmer gold paint. The bride wanted us to use one of her favorite antique flower images in someway, so is there not only something special holding it all together-the back has it too.

Again, many thanks to all who have participated in bringing the wedding invitations to life. If you are going to share our content, we only ask that you give @DigbyRose proper photo credit. More to come with our creative commons license.
We didn’t even realize that these were going into print in The Knot Weddings Magazine and would like to thank them for including us at the request of the bride. Best Wishes, Team Digby & Rose

A beautiful watercolor flowers design and a letterpress print came together in this perfect spring wedding invitation. This custom wedding invitation was created for a bride who wanted a rich forest and flowers feel, with lots of greens, purples, and pinks. Wildflowers rising out of the earth symbolize new life and a new beginning for the couple on their wedding day.
Luxurious Papers and Colors
The original watercolor design was reproduced digitally on Crane Lettra paper, with a deep green letterpress print for the text. A forest green cardstock was applied to the back of the invitation, and also used for the inner envelope liner. The forest colors were rounded out with fresh spring green edge painting.
Custom Watercolor Design
If you love the look of both watercolors and letterpress, this type of combination would be perfect for your own custom wedding invitations. Watercolor flowers are a beautiful and happy decoration for your wedding invitation, whether you’re getting married in a spring garden or are just in a spring mood!
Invitations in Stop Motion, Another Way to View Our Design Work
We recently decided we were going to see if we could showcase our work another way and thought we’d give it a shot with stop motion and animation. We have 6 videos as of December 2013 and will add another half dozen or so to our 2014 Custom Wedding Invitation channel on Vimeo. If you like what you see, just leave a note in the comments. We hope you enjoy our sense of humor and style.
