Brush Lettered Gold and Navy Wedding Invitations

Happy Monday everyone! Let’s start the week off right with some gorgeous wedding invitations! It can be so hard to find a balance between elegant and semi-formal yet fun and beachy in a wedding invitation. Alex of Goodheart Design really hit the nail on the head with these brush lettered gold and navy wedding invitations! This invitation suite features Alex’s signature brush lettering, shiny gold foil against deep navy paper, and a surprise tropical pattern!

From Alex: This is definitely one of my favorite wedding invitation suites so far! This was my first time using this navy and coral color palette and experimenting with patterns – so it was fun trying to figure out how to make it all flow together in a beautiful way. I think gold foil is super classy, so pairing it with fun vibrant colors and patterns makes it feel a little more relaxed but still very nice.

The bride and groom were married at a beautiful villa by the beach in southern California. They had a very specific color scheme they wanted to stick to: navy, coral, peach, and gold. They wanted a semi-formal and elegant invitation with a fun beachy vibe.

We decided to keep the design simple with a modern sans serif font and brush lettering emphasizing their names. To bring in the fun factor, as well as the navy and coral color scheme, we had each piece printed on a different colored paper. To help incorporate the beachy vibe we printed a navy blue watercolor illustrated tropical leaf pattern on the back of the main invitation.

All three pieces were printed by Czar Press. The main invitation features gold foil on 110# navy paper that was duplexed to 110# white paper with the digitally printed tropical leaf pattern. The RSVP was digitally printed with navy text on 110# coral paper and the details card was also digitally printed with navy text on #110 blush paper. We wanted to keep the watercolor look throughout all the pieces, which is why most of the pieces were digitally printed. The envelopes were an orangey/coral color from Paper Source and were all hand addressed by me.

Tropical Seafoam and Gold Foil Save The Dates

Today’s tropical seafoam and gold foil save the dates were inspired by the destination wedding’s seaside venue of sunny Cabo San Lucas, Mexico! Designed by Clara of Goldie Design Co., this save the date combines traditional and elegant design elements with a beach-inspired color palette and plenty of shiny gold foil. So pretty!

From Clara: When designing this custom save the date, the bride wanted to incorporate the fun Cabo destination wedding vibe while keeping it very traditional and elegant. By using a beach-inspired color palette of teals and blues, along with pops of blush pink and gold, and gorgeous engagement photos taken at the beach where the wedding will take place, the guests are sure to get a good feel for this destination wedding!

The outer envelope is covered in beautiful navy blue calligraphy for the address, paired with beach-inspired vintage stamps – always a must! One of my favorite things about this navy blue ink is the way it has that flowing gradient effect throughout the letterforms. Upon opening the envelope, guests will find a seafoam green enclosure wrapped in a custom belly band. This belly band features a geometric pattern inspired by Mexican tiles found throughout the architecture of this destination, and topped off with a custom wedding monogram.

When opening the enclosure, you will first see the custom calligraphy save the date card printed in gold foil front and center. The design of this card was kept very simple so that the eye wasn’t pulled to one part of the enclosure only – the entire invitation flowed together in perfect beachy unison! The pocket to the right holds the gold foil printed accommodations card and an accordion style card with several of the couple’s engagement photos.

The bride had so many favorite engagement photos (I don’t blame her – I mean look at that beach!) that she asked me to design a creative way to display several of the images in addition to the one in the enclosure oval slot! So, this accordion card is what we ended up with, and it was a perfect little unique touch, especially with the wedding hashtag displayed on the back of the card!

Boho Glam Agate-Inspired Wedding Invitations

We are seriously envious of the lucky guests who received these boho glam agate-inspired wedding invitations! Designed by Melissa of Atheneum Creative, these beautiful wedding invitations were inspired by the agate motif incorporated throughout the wedding and the bride’s favorite nail polish color. So creative! The invitation suite features a custom hand painted agate-inspired design and stunning gold foil details, styled to perfection with gilded agate slices!

From Melissa: Jessica came to our first meeting with nail polish for color inspiration and tons of magazine tear sheets for décor inspiration. We often hear a lot of décor terms during our invitation design process, like rustic, elegant rustic, romantic and modern… the list can go on and on! We have worked on weddings that were boho inspired and weddings that had a glamorous aesthetic, but this was the first time we heard “boho glam” as a décor term. After this wedding I am sure we will be hearing it a lot more!

They wanted to use agate details through the entire wedding, so the invitation features a custom agate-inspired painting – of course matching Jessica’s nail polish color inspiration. The agate portion was digitally printed, then duplexed to give the invitation more weight and add color on the back, and finally hit with a layer of gold foil.

For this invitation, we visited our printer for a press check to try different shades of gold foil and see what would pop best off of the digital background. We also invited the client to be right there on press with us so she could get a feel for how the digital color was laying down and be able to pick her own gold foil. We even gave her the printing plate for the gold foil when we were done.

Jessica wanted the invitations to act as a gift in the mail to her guests, something they could not wait to open! So we packaged the invitation and reply card in a gray mailing box with gray paper and addressed each box with gold calligraphy.
