Let’s talk paper! We have warm white machined paper, subtle stripe taupe, vellum, handmade paper in green, handmade paper envelope in blush, and machined French blue in this suite.
I really love combining different paper types. It can absolutely present a special breed of problems when printing sometimes, but the final look is definitely worth it. This is certainly not a look that is easy to curate, and not something you can usually find without a decent designer to help guild your selections.
I love this pale green handmade paper that we selected for our reception cards. When it comes to selecting product, I usually only present paper types to our brides once I’ve selected everything I’d like to use and checked inventory to make sure I can actually get it. I want my brides to see the vision in my head as a complete idea, and presenting them with the entire suite’s paper helps them visualize.
We also used vellum in this suite - one of my favorite papers to print on. I love how luminous the colors look! We did dual printing on both vellum pieces, overlaying white and color.
We went with a blush handmade envelope with french blue envelope liners printing in tumbling vines for the reply envelopes. The front of each envelope was printed with matching artwork and calligraphy (of course).
Our French blue mailing envelopes have the most gorgeous white vines tumbling down the back with the return address in matching calligraphy. Our mailing envelopes were lined in matching rose artwork.
