Envelope liners are a gorgeous way to add more details to your wedding invitation suite! I personally love using the liners and a vellum overlay to bring in a pattern for a bold statement of your overall aesthetic.

Envelope liners are essentially just one more place you can customize your wedding invitations. I love an unexpected punch of color or pattern, and envelopes just feel terribly naked to me without them.

The three liners shown above include a pattern based on Delft blue vases, with watery deep indigo blue artwork throughout the suite. The bright summer vibes of pinks and yellows tumble down the envelope and custom watercolor envelope liner of the center invitation suite, while modern lines flex and compress against watercolor and a bright white envelope for a wedding in Bilbao, Spain.

Delft Blue Inspired Wedding Invitations

A classic inspired pattern for a wedding in an old English country estate.

The Inspiration

The bride’s mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother are all avid collectors of the famous Netherlands Delft blue. Long since immigrated to the United States, her family still has strong familial ties to family back home in the Netherlands, where Delft Blue china originated.

The bride asked for deep indigo blues that reminded her of Delft without being on the nose about it. She wanted to bring in a bit more of a modern take rather than having her wedding feeling dusty and outdated.

When it came to the artwork, we also minimized the pattern itself, sticking to florals only rather than the overall pattern-work of Delft.

We selected handmade paper in earthy tones of bone and taupe to tone down the blue a bit, as well as a vellum wrap tied delicately with thread.

We also kept the typography simple and very minimal, leaving lots of negative space.

We paired white printing with the blue on the overlays, to bring in interest and depth and to soften and dilute the intensity of the overall Delft feel.
