It’s Mardi Gras today and we thought it was fitting that we had a real wedding with a fleur-de-lis from a bride from New Orleans! We met Sarah and James and her mom and grandmother last summer and she knew she wanted a fleur-de-lis on the invitation because it was an important part of her life. The invitation is thermographed (yes, we do that as well!) and with the pewter pocket, soft butter metallic paper and the purple, it was a stunning invitation and paper suite. The wedding was a November wedding at Castleton Farmsand they even had a custom-made S’Mores bar (yum!). Enjoy the awesome photos from Waldorf Photgraphic Art!
