Are you looking to feature a custom watercolor painting of your venue and a custom monogram on your wedding stationery? Well, look no further! We created the Katherine Collection for couples who want custom elements incorporated into their wedding stationery without paying the custom suite price. The Katherine Wedding Suite features a custom watercolor of YOUR venue digitally printed on the envelope liner. On the invitation card, a classic watercolor crest is painted with hydrangeas and roses, your custom monogram on the shield, and your wedding date on the ribbon. The other cards in the suite - details and RSVP - feature a typography design that is timeless and classic. The pièce de résistance of the suite is the gatefold; this enclosure piece holds the cards perfectly in place and makes the card reveal even more dramatic. The gatefold is made with 100 lbs card stock paper, personalized with your color selection. It is secured shut with an illustrated version of your invitation crest. The Katherine Collection is the perfect way to have a custom wedding suite on a semi-custom budget. Best of all, you can continue to use the artwork on all the other stationery items offered in the Katherine Collection. Keep your order number handy for a discount on other items in the Katherine Collection.
