Nautical weddings and gold foil were just MADE for each other. I mean, navy blue with gold foil and stripes? Perfection. These gorgeous preppy and nautical gold foil wedding invitations come to us from Samantha and Whitney of Gus & Ruby Letterpress. In addition to the shiny gold foil – including gold foil edging! – these invitations feature gorgeous letterpress printed text, a striped belly band, custom wax seal, and a vintage nautical chart envelope liner. Just gorgeous!
From Samantha and Whitney: This custom suite was designed for a lovely couple’s wedding held on the beautiful coast of Maine. The bride and groom wanted the invitation suite to reflect the classic, New England preppy and nautical feel of their event. We paired a beautiful flourished script with a traditional roman font to keep the look clean and classic. A classic, crisp palette of navy, metallic gold and white, along with nautical graphics (a sand dollar) and stripes, set the tone for their seaside event.
The elegant type-set invitation was printed on double-thick 100% cotton and featured gold foil edging to give an extra pop of glam! All of the invitation pieces were wrapped in a flat printed preppy nautical stripe belly band and then tied with gold twine and finished with a custom wax seal. A fun navy outer envelope and custom envelope liner featuring a vintage nautical chart of Kennebunkport, ME completed the suite. As always, the pieces were lovingly letterpress printed by hand on our antique press on beautiful, textural, super thick 100% cotton paper.
Thanks so much Sam and Whit!
