Best of 2012: Metallic Wedding Invitations

The metallic trend has been going strong for a couple of years now, and if anything it was an even bigger trend in 2012! Metallics from silver to copper were everywhere at the 2012 National Stationery Show, where designers incorporated metallic foil in everything from greeting cards to wedding invitations. I’m particularly fond of gold foil, so today I thought I’d round up a few of my favorite gold wedding invitations from 2012!

Amritha + Josh’s Red and Gold Letterpress Wedding Invitations

You might remember these purple and gold foil wedding invitations from a couple weeks ago, and today designer Rashi Birla is back with another stunning wedding invitation suite!  The combination of a red and gold color palette and graphic elements inspired by the wedding’s floral designs help create an invitation design that is both elegant and modern.  Love!

From Rashi: Amritha and Josh wanted their wedding invitations to be elegant and fun.  Their wedding was full of bold and bright flowers, so I wanted to play off of that motif and make the invitations very graphic with floral illustrations.  Amritha loves the color red, so we chose to letterpress print the invitation design in gold and red ink.

We were able to keep the invitation sophisticated by keeping most of the graphic elements and type in red, and adding hits of gold in the right places. The invitation was held in place with a letterpress printed bellyband that had a Sanskrit proverb on the front.

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  Sophie and I survived our first week on our own, and while I’m perhaps a teensy bit more sleep deprived than I was last week, I’m slowly gaining confidence with our new daily routine.  My one-handed typing skills are much improved from last week – now I just need to figure out how to calm a fussy baby with one hand and do everyday tasks (like washing my face) with the other!  For the moment, I’m just looking forward to a quiet weekend before Hurricane Sandy rolls into town early next week.  But in the meantime…

I love the way that the same shade of purple can go from being light and airy (like in yesterday’s wedding invitations) to dark and moody (like in the bouquet below).  Add metallic gold foil for instant elegance and glamour that would be perfect for any season of the year.

Anjali + Suchit’s Elegant Gold Foil Hindu Wedding Invitations

Bride and groom Anjali and Suchit wanted invitations that were both elegant and modern to complement their Hindu wedding.  Designer Rashi Birla created a wedding invitation suite that combines gold foil and deep royal purple letterpress elements, along with an airy botanical pattern and classic type throughout the suite.  Gorgeous!

From Rashi: Anjali and Suchit have a keen eye for design and wanted to take a modern approach to their Hindu wedding. Anjali loves letterpress and there was no question that I was going to design the invitation with letterpress printing in mind. We wanted the invitation to feel airy and simple, but with Indian touches. I created an organic pattern that was used throughout the suite.

The invitation text was set to look elegant and regal. We decided to use gold foil and purple letterpress for the two main cards. The deep purple envelopes were also stamped in gold foil.

To save costs, we printed the reception, Sangeet, and ceremony RSVP cards digitally in purple and yellow (a ‘Sangeet’ is an Indian tradition and a big pre-wedding party that happens the night before a wedding). A gold folder with gold cord and contrasting green ribbon completed the look.
