These fabulous wedding invitations were inspired by the French silk brocade pumps ($675) from Christian Louboutin, shown in Bride’s magazine. We chose the vintage Peony Floral Broder design from Formal-Invitations.com custom printed card collection and changed the border from navy to scarlet red for a little pop of color ($160 for 100). The cards were printed on extra-heavyweight 140# matte stock (30% recycled) for luxe feel at a super affordable price. Invites can be ordered from http://www.formal-invitations.com/custom-printed-cards.html.
