For an elegant destination wedding at Beaulieu Garden in Napa Valley, we designed a dreamy, Monet garden inspired invitation filled with beautiful details. The die cut invitation is placed inside an ivory and pearl foil stamped folder and features hand painted views of Beaulieu Garden and Napa Valley on linen, cotton and canvas textured papers. All cards are printed in a combination of letterpress, lilac and pearl foils for a lush and uniquely textural finish.
Since we are a studio specializing in custom work, we put together custom pricing for each project. For your convenience, below is a brief summary of the starting prices for both our collection and custom suites:
• $2,000 is the starting price for pre-existing designs for a 4-piece suite in 1-letterpress color. Suites with additional embellishments such as foil stamping, laser cut sleeves, pocket folders, etc. start at a higher price point of $3,000 and up.
• Custom invitations start at $2,750 for a 4-piece suite in 1-letterpress color.
• For budgets in the $1,000 range, many of our designs can be adapted to a economical price point using flat printing.
Note: A 4-piece suite includes Invitation, Reply Card, Outer Envelope and Reply Envelope. However a suite can be customized to your needs. Most pre-existing designs you see, whether it be from our custom page or collection page, can be made into a ready to order set

Sketches
We began the process with some different invitation directions all centering around the idea of a painterly, Monet-esque vineyard wedding. We explored textures such as linen, burlap and even hand dyed ribbon which we envisioned pairing with watercolor printing and foil stamped accents.
Design Development
After selecting a design direction, we refined the invitation design and pieces a little further, bringing our sketches and drawings onto the computer. We also embarked on the process of creating the refined illustrations for the suite.
Illustration
We created a custom watercolor illustration of Beaulieu Garden in a soft rustic style with muted purple colors accented with gold.
Design Extension
Once the look and feel were defined, we embarked on the process of extending the design to all the pieces in the invitation suite. We wanted to the suite to feel coordinated as a whole without being too “matchy matchy” so each item, from reply card to envelopes has different design elements that work harmoniously with the overall design aesthetic.
Details, Details, Details…
Every element and detail in the suite is carefully considered. At the end of the process we hand select all the ink, foil and paper swatches that will be used in the final design.
Final Design
At the end of the creative process, after all edits and refinements are made, the full suite comes to life in the hands of our expert team of printers and craftsmen.
