My wedding invitations!

My WEDDING!

Obviously I’m a very PICKY person when it comes to paper goods. After countless searches for the perfect invite for my big day nothing seemed to match up with the idea in my head. I wanted the perfect mix of plum, pewter, silver and white… rhinestones…ribbon… and of course, our monogram mixed in… perfection, right? Exactly. So, this is what I came up with for me and the hubby!

Printed white cards on two layers of pearlized matting (pewter and silver) placed in a plum linen folding card. The RSVP envelope was pewter and together with it, the reception card and the RSVP card were held by a plum ribbon with a rhinestone embellishment. The outer envelopes were pearl white with lighter plum colored liners and as a stunning final touch-- handwritten calligraphy in a custom mixed plum ink and silver wax seals!

These invites were the reason I began Le Petit Papier. It was so difficult to find affordable paper goods that had everything I envisioned. I wanted to provide the opportunity to brides {and everyone looking for any kind of paper goods} to see their visions come to life as well!
