Luxury Wedding Invitations: Our Top Picks

Your wedding is an incredibly important day in your life.  You will carefully choose each detail, from the dress to the flowers, to realize your perfect day.  Set the tone for your big day by choosing invitations that perfectly encapsulate the tone of your upcoming wedding.  This is, after all, the first impression your guests will have of your wedding.  Make it a good one!  We have selected a few of our favorite luxury wedding invitations to serve as inspiration for your own wedding.

Laser-cut Invitations

Lace is once again a popular textile for weddings.  It is not surprising that lace motifs have carried over into the invitations.  Thanks to advancement in technology, intricate lace patterns can now be cut into paper with laser machinery instead of being painstakingly cut by hand.  More and more luxury stationery companies are offering laser-cut invitations for couples looking for elegant and delicate wedding invitations.  We especially love this Marquise wedding invitation suite from Atelier Isabey.

Inspired by the luxurious quality of Chantilly bridal lace, this wedding invitation features an intricate laser cut sleeve that houses all the letterpress printed cards within. The classic design and champagne color palette make this design a very versatile and timeless piece that is sure to wow your guests and set the tone for your wedding.

 

Foiled Accents

Foil accents are another wedding trend that has moved from the wedding ceremony itself to the invitations.  Secondary metals like rose gold and pewter make beautiful accents to the bridal decor.  Those same accents set of the important information found in the invitation suite.  This particular suite from Atelier Isabey features mixed metal foil accents on every piece of stationery, from the envelope to the custom designed map of New Orleans.

Inspired by the beautiful city of New Orleans, we were tasked with creating an invitation that had both 1920s glamour and sophistication but also communicated all the important information for guests to know about the wedding. We designed a booklet drawing from the city’s architecture, more notably the wrought iron façades on Bourbon Street and incorporated them in a unique and luxurious way. The suite was accented with rose gold and silver foil touches throughout.

 

Boxed Invitations

If you want your wedding invitation to stand out among the dozens of invitations your guests may get this summer, consider a standout method of delivery for your invites.  Instead of arriving in a standard envelope, these invitations arrive in an elegant box which contains all the information your guests need to know about your upcoming nuptials.  You can even opt to create a small booklet invitation in place of a single-sided invite for even more impact.  This letterpress invitation from Lela New York arrives in a Tiffany blue box accented with champagne ribbons and crystals.
