Great Gatsby Art Deco Wedding Invitations

Art Deco Wedding Invitations

For these Art Deco wedding invitations it was all about a glamorous and elegant black and gold affair! Letterpress and foil stamping were the prints of choice. Deep black paper printed in gold foil, with a gold paper and black foil on the back featuring the couple’s custom Great Gatsby monogram. A green edge painting, letterpress reply cards, gold with black foil reception cards, and a fantastic green shimmery envelope liner completed the set. An intricate original art deco border gives beautiful detail to this foil stamped invitation design. All the guests knew it really was time for dancing on the tables!

A Great Gatsby theme

The inspiration for the theme was a Great Gatsby extravaganza, with theme colors of gold, black, and emerald green. We carried this theme through to all of the wedding day items including cocktail napkins and programs. The champagne was flowing and a Gatsby-style part followed! Everything was created as a custom design, including the custom monogram and border. For your own custom art deco or other theme contact us in our Washington, DC studio, we’re here to make a statement with your invitations!

Coral and Waves Letterpress and Foil

A Different Kind of Beach Theme Wedding, Coral and Waves

Our client came to us and wanted something a little different but her wedding invitation had to include waves, coral shapes and a monogram for her and her future husband. She loved the look and feel of letterpress and wanted texture and a touch of gold foil. With that in mind, we inserted a design pattern of waves into a quatrefoil border which raised the center panel giving this set the desired textured. Now that the main invitation design was complete all we had to do to pull it all together is add some design elements to the other cards including coral inks. You have to admit everything looks better when it is letterpressed.

Recently we decided to play around with the way that we display our invitation designs on the web and thought that stop motion would be a fun experiment. There’s sound to this video so if you’re in an office make sure your speakers are turned down as to not alert your coworkers that your searching for the perfect wedding invitations.

Quatrefoil Pattern Letterpress Wedding Invitations

Quatrefoil Invitations in Yellow and Gray

These custom wedding invitations feature an elegant quatrefoil pattern, in a beautiful combination of gray, yellow, and white. Created here in our Washington DC studio, these letterpress invitations also highlight the couple’s custom monogram made from the same quatrefoil motif. A great look for a romantic wedding with modern sensibilities.

Blind Debossing and Yellow Edge Painting

The main print feature is the “blind” debossed pattern, where the design is letterpressed without ink. This creates a striking look and texture with the deep pressing in thick cotton 220lb letterpress paper. The same effect also creates a unique textured background pattern on the reception card. The whole look is accented by a yellow painted edge on the invitations, and yellow patterned envelope liner.
