Custom Wedding Invitations

Hello Friends,
Hope you're having a splendid week!

It's been a while I did a blog post on some of our past client's invitations. I assure you that you're going to love this post lol.
I had the pleasure of working primarily with the groom for these Tiffany Blue Couture Wedding Invitations. He was ver particular about what he wanted and we began work very quickly. The wedding was last July in Michigan. Enjoy...

Adriana & Alredo

I absolutely love Adriana's wedding colors - Black and Red. She chose a layered flatcard and we accented it with some bling. This is a very simple, yet classically elegant invitation. Adriana & Alfredo were married in December 2012 at the gorgeous Bell Tower on 34th in Houston, Texas.

Yemi & Taj

We truly enjoyed working with Yemi for her wedding invitations. The first we met with her, she knew right off the bat that she wanted the invitations to set the tone for her wedding. And boy did they set the tone. She worked with Chioma of Dure Events to help bring her vision to life. I tell you her wedding was breathtakingly beautiful! Below are some of the images captured by the always awesome Raheem of RhPhotoarts.

Yemi chose one of our couture invitations. Her wedding colors definitely helped with the elegance of her wedding stationery and decor.

 The Reception Programs/Menu cards were single flatcards but we used an ornate lace pattern and accented them with Pearl stones to complement her wedding invitations.

Our Couture Silk Products

Our Couture Invitations are our high end custom invitations that are created using gorgeous and high quality embellishments. At Elegant Custom Invitations, our Silk invitation boxes are constructed from wood - not cardboard. In addition, we offer 100% hand woven pure silk or a lower priced faux silk for all of our silk products. Both include wood construction and premium grade padding that is thicker to provide a more luxurious look. The padding is included in all of the usual places and the sides of the inside of each box as well. They are truly heirloom quality. You know your family and friends will receive a special gift from your event that will last a lifetime!

Silk Pad

There are many overseas box manufacturers advertising that they sell "silk" invitation boxes of "exceptional quality" for a price of $10 - including shipping. These boxes are made with polyester. In addition, you get a significant bill for import duties & taxes into the US that is not included in their pricing. This should be factored in when comparing pricing. In addition to using polyester fabric, they use a thin cardboard as the base of the invitation box construction, and a thin layer of foam padding on the outside top of the box, and the inside bottom of the box. It is important to note that there are different levels of quality and craftsmanship.

When shopping around for your silk invitation boxes, be sure to obtain all important details and ask the right questions. Here is a list of questions that you can ask:
1. Is the fabric 100% pure hand woven silk?
2. What are your boxes constructed from?
3. What thickness of padding do you use and where specifically is it used?
4. How much extra will it cost me in import duties & taxes to import the silk boxes into the US?
