The boldness of the black ribbon wrap in the left photo is so striking!
The way your save the dates and this invitation coordinate is quite beautiful. Honestly, I wasn’t sure about the feather and peonies but now seeing it complete – I am a big fan! The textures are intriguing and the touch of black throughout maintains formality.
Honestly, this would be a difficult decision for me. However I am especially fond of the graceful painted strokes of white in the peony design version!

Detailed ostrich feather illustrations and the lush hand-painted peony really compliment eachother nicely. The feathers are sketched into the design to give a better idea of placement for future letterpress printing. I added a rich raspberry outermost border which warms the look overall!
Again, I had a blast with your sample. The peony on black is stunning! I completely hand-painted the look with shades of raspberry and purples. The invite is scalloped and finished with a hand-painted dot border. See what people had to say when I shared your design on Twitter! Hope you don’t mind!
So I am hoping you don’t mind but I had some FUN with your first sample. I love experimenting! I used several shades of deep purple both shimmering and non. Hand-painted strokes of color are plentiful in this custom peony damask illustration I created for you.
I also added a touch of black fringe for that edgy feel we discussed! Enjoy!

Subtle changes but quite impactful I think! Have I mentioned just how many of my bride’s are inspired by your invitation?
I think this version is a lovely transition from your first and second samples. I love the more muted tones but with a touch of contrast on your tag border!
This soft palette is just gorgeous – I added a patterned gold wrap and used a sketchy version of a peony illustration similar to the one used here.

The soft palette of navy, pink and gold is stunning. I chose the sketchy version of my peony illustration to lend a romantic quality overall.
