Anna + Max’s Elegant Gold Foil Wedding Invitations

Lindsay from Paper Bloom sent over these gorgeous invitations that she designed for her sister Anna’s wedding. The invitation features gold foil and calligraphy details from Angelique Ink with an elegant, vintage-inspired design and a dramatic black and gold damask envelope liner paired with blush pink envelopes. So beautiful!

From Lindsay: I designed this suite for my younger sister Anna and her high school sweetheart, Max. This wedding has been a long time coming for our families and friends, as we have all been on this journey together since they fell in love at 16 years old. We could hardly wait for them to make it official!

Throughout the wedding planning, it was really important to Anna and Max to stay true to who they are. They didn’t want anything too lavish or over the top: just simple, clean and beautiful. They chose to be married in the heart of downtown Portland, Oregon at the historic Benson Hotel, and picked a color palette of gold, black, and blush pink.

There was a subtle roaring 1920s feel to the event. I incorporated gold foil on the invitation along with black and gold damask paper accents. Angelique Ink calligraphed their names and phrases for the inserts in her perfect Vintage Reserve style, and I kept the rest of the design and text simple and classic.

Happy Weekend!

Happy Friday everyone! So, that whole thing about kids being sick the entire first year of school or daycare? NOT AN EXAGGERATION. We’re currently on virus number three in just under two months. I’m feeling like we can’t catch a break, but thankfully this round seems to be milder than the previous two. Thankfully, for the first time in several weeks, we have absolutely zero obligations for the weekend. We’re planning to take things easy, enjoy the last of this beautiful DC fall, and maybe do a few things around the house (maybe). I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! But in the meantime…

The Real Weddings Special Issue of Martha Stewart Weddings just hit newsstands – and I’m so excited to share a sneak peek with all of you today! As per usual, I immediately flipped open my issue ready to pore over every stationery detail in the featured weddings. But this time, I was so pleasantly surprised to see a familiar face in the issue!

Julie Savage is a wedding planner in Annapolis, Maryland – just a hop skip and a jump from DC. Julie and her husband were married in Paris last fall, and I was so happy to see their dreamy destination wedding in the special issue, along with the beautiful invitations by Little Bit Heart and calligraphy by Laura Condouris!
