the midas touch

This invitation was created for a casual post-wedding brunch. Inspired by slightly moroccan/moorish designs, and a soft yet sophisticated palette with a modern edge, these invites are among my favorites. On her wedding day, the bride wore gold shoes; a little detail that I decided to carry through with hand-applied gold leaf dots on the front and backs of the invitation, in addition to the return-address labels... just a touch of luminous surprise.
the envelope liner features the newlywed's initials as well as a reverse of the color palette
the back of the invitation has one small quadrefoil in the center with the couple's initials.
some of the dots around the edge are the hand-applied gold leaf.
