Natural and Rustic Wedding Invitations

Entire invitation suite with stacked information, reply, and wedding party cards
Anneli and Carlos were married at the Cathedral of our Lady of the Angels in downtown Los Angeles. Their wedding reception followed directly after at the Omni Hotel.  I had the pleasure of helping Anneli and Carlos with their wedding flowers (as The Flower Lab) as well as their invitations.  In the pictures that follow, you can see how the floral decor tied in with their invitations.

Anneli wanted a natural, rustic, and organic look and picked recycled chip board for the paper.  We printed the text in chocolate brown and the floral and butterfly imagery in white.  The invitation suite was comprised of a square invitation, reply card, information card, and a card detailing the members of the wedding party.  Anneli and Carlos picked out a metallic purple pocket fold and assembled their invitations themselves.  The reply, information, and wedding party cards were each shorter in height so when stacked you can view each of the headings.  

Paper: Chipboard
Ink: Chocolate Brown and White

Assembled invitation by the bride and groom: metallic purple pocket fold held together with ribbons and embellished with a matching hang tag with initials. Thanks Anneli for the picture!
