Hi Flourish Friends!
So I'm getting married in March and designed my wedding invitations and thought I would share! When you're a calligrapher, you have to pull out all the stops! Haha.
I created a greeting card style invite with "The Turneys" (Turney will be my married name) on the front, a handmade pocket on the inside to hold the details card, RSVP card and RSVP envelope, and a pasted red insert with the wedding information. I wrote the spot calligraphy by hand and scanned it in and did the greeting card engrossing and flourishes on my iPad. I had the invites screenprinted in gold by a local printer.
Finished them off by packaging them in high quality tracing paper (why does Hobby Lobby not have vellum?!), wrapping with gold string and sealing with red wax. And of course, I addressed all the envelopes by hand and had a custom return address stamp made. It was a LOT of work, but I'm so happy with the results.
Thanks for letting me share!
(Also, some photos are bigger than others and I can't figure out why? I'm just gonna leave them haha).
