An ivory and burgundy ballroom wedding website
Velvet opens on a painted arch hung with heavy ivory silk and deep burgundy roses, giving a formal evening reception the weight of a printed invitation.
The visual direction
How Velvet feels
Velvet is rich without being dark. Drapery, fluted columns wrapped in roses and crystal-chandelier light supply the scale, while warm ivory and sage foliage stop the page becoming heavy. An antique sepia watercolour vignette gives the venue a quieter moment between the more decorated sections.
A strong fit for
- ✦ballrooms and grand hotels
- ✦formal and black-tie celebrations
- ✦deep-red or burgundy wedding palettes

Build a page guests can use
Tell the story in the right order
The engraved copperplate register suits formal hosting wording, so lead with the families, the couple and the date. Move next to the venue vignette, then set out arrival, dinner and the later programme in order, using the fine diamond divider to separate the invitation itself from the practical sections beneath it.
Make the style practical
Burgundy and candlelight photograph unevenly, so choose a small tonal set of images rather than mixing bright daylight with dark interiors. Grand hotels often have several halls and entrances: give the exact room name and arrival route, and say whether black tie is required or simply encouraged.
