This Taupe Gatefold Invitation from Vera Wang is the epitome of simple, minimalist elegance.   It features a taupe shimmer gatefold card with the opening offset to the right which is beautifully tied with ribbon, inside is a square of oyster white paper with the wedding details.  There is a design to suit most tastes from traditional to contemporary and I personally love this Red invitation with its gold ink for an opulent Christmas wedding.
  

The Vera Wang wedding stationery is available from just a few outlets in the UK including Harrods.

The flower motif detail in this invitation is cleverly cut out of the cream top layer to reveal the chocolate brown card beneath.  It is this layered approach that defines many of the invitations in the ‘Papercut designs” collection from Sasson Invitations.  Browns and Greens are very popular at the moment and the combination of a moss green background with chocolate brown layered card and ink creates a very appealing ensemble.

What is not immediately obvious on the Sasson website is the option to have a different motif with this design.  Whilst the flower motif pictured above does suit the natural and earthy colours of this style very well many couples will wish to choose a different motif to personalise the card further.  I particularly like the two letter monogram motifs in the selection to the left which lets your guests know that your invitations are truly unique and have been created only for you.

Pricing for all Sasson invitations is very simple.  There are only three price bands of which this design is mid range and then pricing depends on the quantity required.  For 25 to 75 invitations the price is a very reasonable £3.85 each.  I am curious to discover that there is also a price band for under 25 invitations with no obvious restriction on minimum order quantity.  Something tells me that they are unlikely to personalise just one or two invitations for £4.20 each.
