A custom design for Nora







Okay... so now that the inauguration is finally over (I work for the government and have been crazy busy due to it).... I can starting posting some more of my invitations. This design is for a bride-to-be named Nora. She came to me requesting a pocketfold invitation, but to cut costs she requested it be unassembled. I am definitely into working with brides on all types of budgets, but it has been difficult in some sense to make it cost effective for me (she is dead set on a pocketfold) as well as giving her her dream wedding invitation. She really wanted a gold embossed paper I have used in previous wedding invitation designs, however it is a bit pricey. So, this invitation I designed for her includes a bit of the embossed gold paper for the belly band and then just a metallic antique gold for the layer behind the invitation. I also included a simple monogram for the front... which will probably change a bit if she decides to order her invitations from me. But here is what I came up with. Simple and elegant.
