ROMANTIC FLORALS: Rich and moody florals are the perfect starting point for a romantic and elegant wedding suite. PAPER: Is one of our favourite parts of the invitation process. Whether you’re introducing a pop of colour or adding texture or sheen, paper can help set the tone of your wedding. HAND-TORN EDGES: When it comes to luxury techniques like letterpress, foil, hand-torn edges, etc., less is more. Pick one or two options and really let those choices shine. GREENERY & NATURAL FLORALS: The classics are named so for a reason, they never go out of style. TONE-ON-TONE LETTERPRESS: A luxury technique that is sure to impress. We love highlighting the impact of letterpress by keeping it simple with tone-ontone colour. MODERN FONTS:An alternative to the traditional, modern handwritten fonts combined with an elegant sans serif is the perfect pairing for a more casual affair.
