I absolutely love working on bespoke luxury invitations for my clients! Today I want to share this romantic floral wedding invitation suite that I created for Charlotte and Gareth’s elegant country wedding at Caswell House in the Cotswolds. This couple were very specific about wanting to capture certain elements from their wedding day and have them incorporated into the invites. This is such a wonderful way to create a taster for your guests of what’s to come! I’m thrilled with how they turned out.

To create the look that Charlotte and Gareth wanted, the wedding invitations needed to be luxurious, with splashes of colour and premium finishes. We also decided on several hand drawn illustrations. The colours they chose were a gorgeous combination of white, raspberry, and dusky pink. Most importantly, I needed to include floral details throughout the design that reflected the stunning array of flowers they will have on the wedding day. (I can’t wait to see them!) Specifically, I incorporated pink hydrangea, pale pink sweet avalanche roses, ivory spray roses, ivory antirrhinum, ivory avalanche roses, ivory hydrangea, raspberry pink spray roses, pale pink astilbe, and pale pink astrantia, as well as parvifolia, salad foliage, asparagus fern and eucalyptus cinneria foliage. To really make these floral details pop (as well as the couple’s names), we used a super thick card with embossing. Gold gilt edges provided a luxurious final touch.

The invitation suite also included a details card and RSVP card. For the details card, we used a concertina format. This isn’t my usual style, but it worked so well with all the information that needed to be included, plus a full page spread for the custom map illustration. We also reused the illustration of the church where the couple will wed on the envelope liners, which is such a pretty and personal touch! The RSVP card also had custom illustrations, including a little lamb and fish for guests to tick which meal option they wanted. Such a lovely touch! The bespoke luxury invitations were assembled with a vellum wrap, hand dyed silk ribbon, and a custom wax seal with the wedding date. This seal also held a calligraphy guest name tag in place.

I’m currently working on Charlotte and Gareth’s wedding day stationery designs. I can’t wait to share them!

LAYERS // Layering different textures is one of my LAYERS // Layering different textures is one of my favourite things for an invitation suite! 
Premium papers, vellum and those hand finished details to hold the suite together. Wax seals are always a popular option with my brides and silk ribbons add that extra beautiful finish! (Plus they’re available in a whole range of colours for you to have the perfect match for your wedding!)

I’m definitely not into pocketfolds or the typical style of invites and love to combine different materials and textures to complete the whole look of the rest of the suite.
For this invitation suite I used a vellum wrap (as a detail rather than to hold everything together!), a taupe thread wrapped around the suite and held together with a white wax seal with gold leaf embellishments which all worked beautifully with the handmade paper and intricate details on the actual design of the cards.

NEUTRAL // I absolutely love to work with neutral NEUTRAL // I absolutely love to work with neutral tones. One way to break up your invitation suite is by having a different colour for one of your card inserts or with an alternative slightly stronger colour for the envelopes.
Although whites, greys and neutral tones are my thing I almost always have a different coloured envelope to add some depth to the finished suite.
