I love getting a project where I get to work with a ton of colors! Granted, the shortages we’re seeing throughout the paper industry right now didn’t make it easy, but I was up for the challenge.
We wanted to go with spring pastels without feeling too much like an Easter church service. I selected very specific shades, including a cool pink, medium rosy purple, spring green, pale blue, and a distinctive shade of cornflower blue.
When I created the toile, I also created individual pieces that could be used in a variety of placements throughout her design. The envelope liner was created from floral festoons from the overall pattern, and we highlighted George Washington in his sunglasses on the front of the enclosure envelopes.
We opted for a colored version of her laurel for the invitation itself, and repeated the same style for her placecards. Vintage style postage was a must and we did a custom dye for her silk ribbon to perfectly match her blue.
Each envelope was sealed with a pale pink wax seal with a bouquet from her toile pattern.
