Oh So Beautiful Paper

Since we’re on the topic of gorgeous calligraphy today, I thought I’d share one of my favorite wedding invitations from the last couple of years.  This stunning navy and gold foil invitation was designed by the bride, Kate, and features calligraphy from Plurabelle.  I’m particularly drawn to the modern sophistication of the calligraphy, while the gold foil elements make everything fun and festive.  Love!

Check out a few more images over on the Plurabelle blog, Nib & Zed!

Design: Kate Allen

Calligraphy: Plurabelle

   I have been looking at different designs online and this is very stunning of all. They are adorable. The gold foil elements make the cards look very rich, elegant.

   Hi Erin S.!

   Kate Allen here! The letterpress was done by Amy Thompson and the gold foil was printed by Shamrock Raidsletter, both in St. Louis. I hope that helps!

   I LOVE the gold on the dark blue stock! And the envelope liners are AWESOME! Beautiful calligraphy work is such an art. I’m jealous of the folks who have this talent!

   LOVING the gold foil lip print!!! These are fantastic. Nice to see calligraphy done in a contemporary style and still so wonderfully elegant. Beautiful penmanship and design.
