Hand-Beaded Folio Save the Dates

I am incredibly excited to say that my guests seem to have received their Save the Dates and happily, I can finally share them with all of you, my incredible readers!

So without further ado, here they are, made from scratch by my very own two hands!

I am unbelievably thrilled with how they turned out.  As you can tell, the color scheme of my vow renewal will be whites, ivories, champagne, and gold, with just a hint of black and vintage silver.  I’m also incorporating flourishes and a bit of an architectural flair.

I love the boxes, purchased from Paper Source, and the incredible quality of the paper, designed by me and printed by a small printer in the U.K.  For the save the dates, I used thermography, but the invitations will be traditionally hand engraved.  And now you can see where I was leading with my book lining post!
