Rome luxury wedding invitations

Rome luxury wedding

When your wedding is at Santi Giovanni e Paolo in Rome, just blocks from the Colosseum, it calls for invitations that make a grand entrance! When Jeanette and Manny came to us for a custom letterpress invitation design, we knew it had to be something as impressive as their luxury setting. The end result was an elaborate monogram with laurel wreath and Roman type to give an ancient Roman flavor, paired with a very modern blind debossed pattern background.

The thickest paper

For paper we chose the thickest invitation paper around, very substantial 4-ply museum board. The debossed pattern can really make a deep impression on this quality paper (normally used for fine museum conservation). The thick paper also makes for a dramatically thick edge to the invitation, the better to highlight the gold painted edges.

Copper foil stamping

And last but not least is the copper foil stamping reminiscent of a bronze Roman statue. A shining copper finish to a fabulous announcement of the wedding no-one would want to miss!

Filigree Border Luxury Wedding Invitations

Traditional Style, Modern Luxury

We love this filigree border luxury wedding invitation when it’s time for a wedding invitation that needs a grand entrance. A letterpress invitation that’s beautiful and elegant, but at the same time an unmistakeable statement that this wedding is fun but formal, and you’d better dress up! From the large Royalty size to the flourishes framing the invitation text, this invitation is all about vintage luxury.

Special Touches

The filigree invitation isn’t just amazing to look at, but also invites you to touch and feel. The “blind” debossed filigree border in letterpress printing creates a gorgeous impression on the super-thick 220lb paper, contrasting with rich burgundy text. The coolest thing of all is the edge painting in a fabulous shade of orange to really take it to the next level.

Vintage invitations

The vintage feel of these invitations comes from the late 1800’s ornaments used to form the filigree border, giving the impression of an ornate frame around the text. A classic feel but with a modern flair, going beyond your everyday engraved invitation! Additional pieces such as the reply card, information card, and oversized envelopes complete the suite.
