Jackie & Brian's Pink Coral Swirl Gatefold Invitation



When Jackie & Brian picked the color of coral as the main color for their wedding they had no idea how difficult it would be to find anything in the particular color they choose. The beautiful color isn't quite pink...and that has made things difficult for them as they really wanted to actually use their color in more than just the bridesmaids' dresses.

So when it came to invitations there really was no other option but to go complete custom...all the way down to the paper! Using her small swatch of fabric we picked the closest pantone color & then printed a swirl pattern onto a cream colored paper (front and back side) so that we could bring her color into the
invitation!
The ribbon that closes the gatefold neatly holds all the enclosures together for a truly elegant look.

When guests untie the ribbon they can then open the gatefold to reveal a very simple and elegant invitation printed in a smoke grey color - which looks fabulous and less harsh than a tru black ink.
To match the invitation we all created a simple monogram notecard that the bride and groom can use for all of their thank you notes! Again, we did their names in smoke and the & was in the matching pinkish coral color used on their swirl paper!

We have some extra custom paper that we will be using for Jackie & Brian's programs...I'll have to show you those when I'm done! I'm excited for a nice layered invitation with vellum overlay!

I had a few scraps of paper after creating the samples, so I started designing some coordinating decor pieces for reception decor to add to my portfolio!
The table numbers also feature the same paper, but this time we added a vellum overlay & we attached it using the same cream colored ribbon.

This was by far my favorite idea with the tiny scraps of paper I had after cutting the gatefold
. There was only about 1.5"x7" piece of paper and I got the great idea to make napkin rings out of them! I hate any cute paper going to waste! I simple used a little ribbon to keep it together. If you were to place the same type of order as Jackie the great news would be that the paper for this item would essentially be free as they are actually scraps!

For a more personalized touch...tell guests where they are supposed to sit with the napkin ring also acting as a place card!

With the littlest scraps I was able to punch hearts out of them...the swirl and cream heart combo confetti would look adorable surrounding the centerpieces, lining the gift table or place card table...
