Oh So Beautiful Paper

I spotted these save the dates and wedding invitations over on Paper Crave yesterday and they literally took my breath away.  From the delicate pink and gold color palette to the beautiful and flourishy Memoriam font, I just couldn’t resist sharing the gorgeousness over here as well.

The bride and groom, Kiera and Jean-Pierre, made both the invitations and save the dates by hand – from the letterpress printing to paper trimming to envelope lining – and chronicled the process on their flickr page.  First up, the Save the Dates, complete with gold edge painting, wrap-around address labels and a beautiful wax seal:

And of course, the beautiful wedding invitations, also with pink wrap-around labels and gold envelope liners:

Such a wonderful balance between whimsical, elegant, and modern!  You can read more over at Paper Crave and Jean-Pierre and Kiera’s blog – and definitely check out all the photos over on their flickr page!

   These are so beautiful – my favorites by far! Any idea where to purchase the gold paper in the photo of the complete invitation suite (the paper in the background on which the suite is resting)?

   Thanks!!
