Vintage Elegance in Custom Wedding Invitations

I have just LOVED working on these invitations for Maria & Matthew.  They are marrying in one of my favorite Virginia get-a-ways, The Homestead and wanted an elegant, vintage feel to their invites.  We used shimmery ivory paper and envelopes and dressed them up with a lovely brocade-type pattern and a satin ribbon with a symbolic "love knot" and layered them onto black card stock.  Of course, all the papers and envelopes are made of recycled fibers.
