Urban meets rustic with the trendsetting ‘Patisserie‘ wedding invitation suite from our new Umi 2 album. Antique lace inspired artwork is kicked up a notch when paired with bold distressed typography. We chose to letterpress this invitation in cool ‘Fog’ gray and bright ‘Mango’ inks which when paired together emphasize this design’s hip and stylish edge. Take a peek below at the inspiration behind this unique invitation suite, and come back again for more moods boards coming soon from our new Umi 2 album!
