Great Gatsby-Inspired Art Deco Wedding Invitations

I’m a longtime fan of Art Deco design from the 1920s and 1930s; the Chrysler Building in New York City has long been one of my favorite buildings, and I love the bold colors and geometric patterns typically associated with the period.  I was thrilled when Erin from Lucky Luxe Couture Correspondence sent over their newest wedding invitation, an Art Deco design inspired by the upcoming film adaptation of the Great Gatsby.  Let’s take a look!

From Erin of Lucky Luxe Couture Correspondence: We’ve noticed a renewed interest in our Gatsby save the date postcard, presumably because of the upcoming release of the new Baz Luhrmann movie, so we’ve created a Gatsby invitation suite that matches the save the date. Our Muse design has been very popular with weddings inspired by the art nouveau period, and we wanted to be able to offer another historical option with an art deco design.

Inspired by the upcoming film adaptation of The Great Gatsby, this romantic and ornamental invitation celebrates the decadently lavish parties on the North Shore of  1920s Long Island.  We see the invitation and imagine shiny Roadsters zipping across the Brooklyn bridge, glamorous women dancing the Charleston with men in their most dapper tuxedoes at the event of the season.

We had a gilded mansion ballroom with onyx and jade decor in mind when creating the design, though of course the colors can be customized to suit the color palette of any couple.

Lindsey + Bradley’s Elegant Pink and Gold Foil Wedding Invitations

Happy Monday everyone!  We’re starting the week with these elegant wedding invitations in one of my favorite color combinations (pink and gold!) from Kimberly at Daily Sip Studios.  Kimberly combined gold foil with pale pink paper for an incredibly sophisticated wedding invitation suite.  So beautiful!

From Kimberly: This design was custom made for a bride who designed her wedding around a pink, coral, and metallic gold color palette.  For the invitations, she wanted something unique and wanted her husband-to-be’s name as the focal point of the invitation design.  I accomplished this by designing their names in Adios Script font with an extra point stroke.

We had just enough room on the press for a matching accommodations card, reply card, and a monogram square.  The amazing thing about this wedding invitation suite is that the appearance changes with the lighting.  When viewed in sunlight, it has a beautiful radiant metallic glow!

The metallic foil wedding suite was delicately letterpress printed  on textured Pale Pink Arturo paper by a renowned printer in Chicago, who prints metallic foil projects using special copper plates (as opposed to plastic or steel-backed photopolymper plates).

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  It was a beautiful week here in DC, and a few days below 90 degrees has me really looking forward to cooler fall days in just a few weeks.  We also had a busy week of baby preparations, from taking a birth class to scheduling consultations with prospective pediatricians, and with so much information to process and things to think about it has been easy to feel overwhelmed.  We’re slowly starting to feel more and more prepared – as much as we can for first time parents!  But in the meantime…
