Suzette Invites!

Those of you at the Bridal Show last weekend got a sneak peak on this new invite, but for those of you who haven't seen it yet... check it out! Suzette wanted a really traditional look for her wedding invitations. She wanted her invites to look very elegant and traditional while still being unique. We used a very beautiful calligraphy font as well a traditional Roman small caps font. I love to use more than one font on invitations because I feel like it really makes the words stand out! Suzette wanted her invites printed on a cream shimmer paper with brown thermography or 'raised ink' printing. The thermography process is when the printed paper is removed from the press with wet ink, a plastic powder is sprayed on the wet ink and then blown off. The plastic powder absorbs the ink color. The paper is then heated until the plastic powder melts leaving a raised ink which you can feel. This creates the ultimate classic and rich look! We then backed the invites with a bamboo green layer and placed them in a brown shimmer pouch with matching green and cream ribbons to tie it all together! I love this color combination so much and I think they turned out truly beautiful! Congratulations Suzette!
