I have been silent on the web for a reason. A wedding. My daughter's wedding. She's a very hard worker as a medical resident and has no time to plan, no time off. In a previous blog I showed a fabulous "save the date" card. I have been working on all the details, but as my husband says, spending too much time making every last detail perfect. First, the wedding invitation has an old German woodcut from 1815. The caption on it is: "Vignette auf einem Dresdener Liebesbriefbogen mit Goldschnitt. Um 1815". Translated: "Vignette on a Dresden love letter paper with gold trim edges, around 1815." The classic one knee proposal, with a couple wearing regency-era attire. This design is actually the "newest" design in the wedding paper ensemble. (Names blocked out for a little privacy for my daughter.) It was printed on a 100 year old letterpress using handmade paper made in Portland, Oregon. The invitations were all printed by hand. The next thing we wanted was an unusual blotter paper to surround the invitation. For this scene, we found some vintage watermarked paper and printed it with a french tablescape drawing from 1751. It came out of an encyclopedia by Diderot. I guess the french really knew how to set up a table for an elaborate feast. Notice how the urns are not plants, they are filled with fruit. We are inviting people to attend a wedding and dinner celebration, so it seemed like the perfect engraving. It also looks like the garden ceremony site. We added the gate posts to that remind us of the garden at the wedding site. The drawing was modified to act as a tissue blotter, going around the invitation. I wanted to use old parchment paper, which was impossible to find. The modern parchment as a slick, oily texture to it. Instead I used old typing paper - no longer made- with a deckle finish and a watermark. I scoured estate sales and got a stack for $2. We added the gate posts to make the "back" side with the wax seal more interesting. It is very similar to the garden where the wedding will be. We then finished it off with a wonderful wax seal of Aphrodite, the greek goddess of love. The wax was another story. we tried a number of different colors, and settled on a soft pink pearlized wax. It is glue gun wax. You can make the seal ahead of time on Silpat, and then attach with a glue dot. There are tons of videos on the internet on how to do this. Lots of practice on the wax seals, these are mostly rejects, some good ones in there though. The RSVP card design was from an old trade card from 1788. It is a business card, very elegant, don't you think? I love the use of the different fonts, and tried to do the same in the items we printed. The original card is below, from the British Museum. The Frame Maker business was located in the Portland Chapel (Later known as St. Pauls (1831)) in London, built in 1764, torn down in 1908. The Crown siezed many churches under the Dissolution of Monastaries and Chantries Act, and rented them out as shops, hence the location "Portland Chapel". My daughter grew up in the "Other Portland". It seems like a perfect choice! We made our own envelope liner, since we couldn't find the perfect liner, but it required a lot of work. Below I am scoring the fold line before trimming to fit inside the envelope. I used a paper cutter's groove lines which worked exactly like the fancy board they try to sell you at Michael's. I also used the flowers on the RSVP stamp, but not on the invitation stamp. I thought that needed a plain stamp. The "frame" on the outer envelope is also an Paris old trade card. Of course we used a custom stamp design Here is the original trade card: The translation of the text is: "Choffard rue des Cordeliers, the first coach entrance on the right coming from the rue de la Comédie Française, at the house of a saddler. A PARIS. Pierre-Phillippe Choffard was an engraver who made his own business card. It is lovely, we couldn't resist the beautiful ribbon and old roses. Estimated date is 1760-1770. I spent a lot of time hunting for the perfect fonts to use on the envelopes. I settled on Burgues Script for the main script. Then we were off to Bridal Veil on the Columbia River to get their special wedding postmark. It's a stone's throw from where my daughter used to go to summer camp (ok, she would sleep in the barn at the nun's house, they called it camp). Now I am waiting for the RSVP's to roll in. Given the tremendous amount of work I put into this, I hope everyone enjoys receiving it. A good friend called and said she wouldn't be returning the RSVP, it was far to pretty and she had to keep it, would I mind? I am happy that someone thinks it is a treat to receive something so special! I know for sure my daughter appreciates it too. That makes me happy that she is delighted. Off to worrying about other details....

Swoon-worthy wedding dress inspiration. Trends, styles, celebrity dresses and gowns you get can for less. And of course, beautiful real weddings to drool over.

: : : : : INFORMATION : : : : : This listing is for a customized printable image file. I'll set up the wording however you'd like, then send you a high-quality image which you can then print as many of as you'd like, however/wherever you'd like! (I do NOT sell printed invitations.) I can also optimize for posting/sending online. Size of this design is 5x7". All of my designs are 300dpi (print-quality) resolution. Watermark will not appear on any finished file I send you. : : : : : DESIGN NOTES : : : : : With elaborate antique details, this invitation would be well-suited to any event with an old-fashioned touch of elegance. The aged paper frame rests atop a backdrop of weathered wood, letting this design transition from a more formal vintage affair to an elegant country wedding. Like all of my invitations, I can change up the layout as needed for you, to accommodate your wording needs! If you're planning to print on parchment, kraft, or other color/patterned paper, I recommend ordering the white background version - your paper will show through the white areas. (Note: Text color is a very dark warm grey on the wood/paper version, and black on the white version.) : : : : : ORDERING PROCESS : : : : : 1) Purchase the design(s) you're interested in. Include desired wording in the Personalization box or Note to Seller in checkout.

If changes are requested, I should have them back to you within another day or so. 3) Once approved, I'll email you a final copy in whatever format works best for you! - Generally, PDF or JPG are used to print at home, print/copy shops prefer PDF files (often with bleed margins), while print-on-demand websites vary. (If you'll be having a chain store/site print for you, I may have their specifications already on-file.) For sending via text, email, or posting online, a lower-resolution JPG is usually best. : : : : : MATCHING ITEMS : : : : : Save the Date: https://www.etsy.com/listing/125277933/antique-calligraphy-on-wood-wedding-save Enclosures (R.S.V.P., Reception, Accommodations, etc): https://www.etsy.com/listing/493423144/printable-wedding-enclosure-cards If you'd like anything else (program, thank you, etc), Message me with your request and I can work up a custom order for you! :) : : : : : CUSTOM OPTIONS : : : : : COLOR : If you'd like to change the color on a single design, apart from the shown options, just purchase the Minor Changes listing from the Custom section ( https://www.etsy.com/listing/94511162/customization-minor-changes-to-a-design ) in addition to your desired invitation. • Please send a reference for your color if possible!
