Love this invitation from Dauphine Press!

Dauphine Press's Carneros invitation suite incorporates so many elements that our brides are loving this year. The letterpressed invitation is elegant, understated and timeless - you can describe it as both clean and contemporary, and as a classic look.
Blind-embossing and blind letterpressing are very popular, as are two letter monograms.
Many of our brides want a classic look with a twist, and the bright yellow pop on the edges of the invitation certainly delivers the twist.

Yellow chevron stripes in the linings add to a fun look, and probably give a hint of the decor of the wedding.
You could take this invitation and with changes to the edge color and the envelope linings, it would be perfect for so many weddings. I can picture it with aubergine edges and gray ink for a fall wedding at a historic site. Mossy greens and a floral lining change it into a rustic formal wedding in a barn. Seaglass blues and greens - perfect for a beach wedding. And for a bride who wants a pop of her fuchsia color in the invitation, but doesn't want it to take over, edge painting in pink would fit the bill.
All of Dauphine Press's albums are at The Pleasure of your Company.
