French Couture Wedding Invitations

So I design wedding invitations. And from time to time I come across brides like Roxana who want it all: haute couture invitations. This means each invitation took over 1 hour to make and I can't remember how may hours (days) to design. But it was worth it, and now, 2 weeks after the wedding I can reveal these.

Of course I made all the roses myself from gold ribbon.


And I love the off-white geese fearhers. They give a vintage French royal look. Can you imagine Marie Antoinette just by looking at them?

Each invitation was housed by a matching box in lilac with gold accents. The embossing is made with the Victoria folder from Provo Craft (one of my top 2 favorites).


Here's what you see when you open the box:


The invitation is a book-style card with the first page featuring the couple's engagement picture. Notice the outfits? Awesome, right?


Than the story begins...


And inside are all the details.


I have also designed matching table numbers, place cards, menus and table plan, but since it was a rush production episode, I don't have pictures of the finished items so I will have to get back with them later.
