Letterpress wedding invitation: The Alchemy invitation suite from our brand new Elum Couture Volume 3 album embodies elegance with an uncluttered sophisticated aesthetic. The neutral textural background, reminiscent of patterns from the Deco era, is quiet in nature and creates a unique juxtaposition when paired with the surprise pops of color used throughout. The brightly colored Edge Painting elevates the Alchemy design to a level that we believe to be, simply stated, stunning. The Alchemy wedding invitation is also extremely well suited for a sophisticated Bar Mitzvah invitation, Bat Mitzvah invitations, or for custom party invitations with a clean ultra modern vibe.
