The primary invitation card featured a gray paisley flourish at the top and bottom. The font selections were very classic– high tower for the non-script, and bickham fancy for the script font:

The couple had a second celebration, a Sofreh Aghd, a Persian Wedding Ceremony. For this card, we used an abbreviated card size, squared off to a 5X5:

The RSVP offered meal options to guests:

The Menu Cards were printed on shimmery gold cardstock:

Their monogram “R” became a central theme in the dinner papergoods, we also incorporated the same header design in the large seating chart organized alphabetically.

The table number cards featured the same color combination and design attributes, and was also printed on shimmery cardstock:

The doctors had a favor of chocolate covered espresso beans that we placed in cool vintage-inspired dispensary bottles and labeled for each guest to serve both as favor & seating assignment. I had a lot of fun making these look like a prescription label:

And now, for flowers
The bride carried a bouquet of ivory hydrangea with accents of cream hypericum & ivory & pink kissed roses:

The bridesmaids all carried a similar style, but with more pink and accents of green:

The bouquets contrasted beautifully with the girls’ navy blue dresses:

The guys had hypericum berry bouts. The grooms was in cream (to match his bride) and finished with antique gold wire:

The centerpieces were a combination of ivory hydrangea, pink roses, and green hypericum berries and white oriental lilies:

We had several series of looks– here’s from the mock-up session we did about a month before the wedding:

I love this image of the cocktail table arrangements:

And, to end on a sweet note: The delicious cake from Dessert Designs was embellished with layers of pink hydrangea accented with green hypericum berries,then topped with a family heirloom cake topper of sweet little birds:

RSVPS

Let’s start with the cover: the invite folded to a 5 X5 square with a black paper bellyband, and then closed with a monogram square stamp with their first name initials and the date:

The front cover was accented with a monogram square

The invite itself then folded out (blurring to protect the names of the couple & any pertinent personal information

The invite folded to three distinct panels

The first panel was the actual event invitation with the Nashville Skyline as the central image: the bride and groom wanted to imbue the image of the skyline to embrace their unique wedding location:

First panel in apple green with the skyline stamp of Nashville

Typography Details: main text is in crisp Garamond Small Caps. The bride wanted something less fussy for the script font, so we went with Palace Script. The skyline is an actual photograph of downtown Nashville that I manipulated in Photoshop to create a stamp that looked as though it had been printed with wood blocking.

The RSVP card utlized the same color scheme and design

The middle panel consisted of directions to the wedding location, directing guests from different areas of town. I ghosted the image of the skyline in the background so that the text could be easily read, and used a dark green font in conjunction with black to work with the color scheme.

The RSVP was a postcard that is perforated from the invite– a fact I love and that made sending in the RSVP so easy. The frontside featured the skyline in the same green as the rest of the invite, and we used a circular “accept/deny” checkbox– a cute little detail.

The perforate and send RSVP card

I used a lighter grayish green for the back of the RSVP card, stamped it with a postcard stamp– much more cost effective than sending regular mail in an envelope, but you need to be sure you meet USPS standard postcard sizes. The same ghost image of Nashville is here, too, so it’s a consistent design element thoroughout the piece, but I used some different shading here- shades of gray (to tie in to the gray-green of the reverse side of the postcard) and white to make the image more crisp.  All of the backside text was in the Palace Script.

All in all, these invites were a blast to make. They did come in a bit more expensive to mail because they were a perfect square (which the post office charges more for– grr!) but i think they more than make up for it in their cool composition.
