Perhaps the most important element of a couple’s custom wedding invitation is that it tells a story. Much like a movie preview prepares its viewers for a film, custom designed invites serve as a powerful glimpse into what the guests can expect from the bride and groom’s big day.
We have developed a keen awareness of this unique storytelling after years of crafting and designing invitations for our White Ink couples. Helping clients incorporate themes, colors, and a bit of their personalities into their wedding invitations is something we simply delight in.
It was an honor having the opportunity to do just that for White Ink couple, Kelsey and Alex, as they began their wedding day journey with us. Designing their custom wedding invitations was so fun to do and I’m excited to finally get to share this amazing suite with all of you.
“Creating a strong perception of the beautiful and loving celebration we are throwing!”
– Kelsey and Alex
One of the best parts about working with Kelsey and Alex was how well they communicated to us exactly what they wanted their invites to reflect. Urban Garden Party was the overall vision they wanted for this suite.
Incorporating vibrant colors like summer pinks and crisp greens with modern elements like custom die-cut pockets allowed modern, industrial chic to meet seamlessly with the classic garden party theme.
Talk about attention to detail, Kelsey and Alex took customizing their invites to the next level by including a custom architectural sketch of their wedding venue, Brooklyn’s historic Wythe Hotel in New York, on the invitation. What’s more is that the very pattern that was used on the envelope liner is the same pattern from the tile on the floor of the Wythe Hotel!
While discussing their invitation vision with our team, Kelsey and Alex noted that the most important aspect of their wedding invites was “Incorporating imagery of the venue and creating a strong perception of the beautiful and loving celebration we are throwing!” And I think they absolutely nailed it!
Let’s Talk about the Details.
Here are some of our favorite details from Kelsey and Alex’s custom wedding invitation suites.
- We used digital printing for this invitation suite which helps to efficiently transfer custom tones, colors and fonts making each invite equally vibrant.
- A custom shaped die-cut was used to create the pocket within the suite adding a notable tone of modern sophistication.
- A custom architectural sketch of the wedding venue, the Wythe Hotel in Brooklyn, New York, peeked out from the corner of the invitation sleeve.
- The pattern used for the envelope liner was specifically designed to mimic the pattern seen on the floor of the Wythe Hotel.
- Custom envelope calligraphy was used for addresses. – always a guest favorite!
- Vibrant, summer floral postage to pair with the theme of the invitation suite.
Giving our brides and grooms a space to bring their creativity and personality is the most rewarding part of what we do. They are the storyteller giving their guests a sneak peek into what’s ahead by adding the delicate details of their favorite colors, favorite seasons, favorite places, and styles to a customized wedding invitation suite.
What’s your story? We can’t wait to tell it!
