The Lock & Key Collection

Vintage Wedding Invitations | The Lock & Key Collection

Romantic & Pastel Vintage Wedding Save the Dates

This collection started with a doodle.

Joshua had been floating an idea of a heart-shaped padlock for a while, and like so many of our designs it began with a small sketch that slowly became something much bigger. The vision was always the crossed keys behind the lock, and while that worked beautifully, we found the keys also had a life of their own. Several variations came out of that, each one distinct enough to become its own piece.

The Lock & Key collection is a deliberate departure from many of our darker designs. Where much of our work sits in deep blacks and gothic colourways, these designs breathe. Pale blues, pastel greens, white backgrounds, Victorian ornate illustration. Light and romantic and quietly vintage in a way that feels entirely different to the rest of the catalogue while still being unmistakably us.

All three designs work as save the dates, single card invitations or evening invitations. A streamlined, single card format that adapts to a range of budgets without compromising on quality or character. Available in any colour or gradient, the pastel examples shown are simply our personal favourites.

Luxury personalised wedding stationery with gothic crossed keys and heart padlock, on wood amid dried leaves for a romantic UK vibe.

The Story Behind Lock & Key

The heart padlock motif is one of the oldest symbols of romantic commitment. Two people, one key. The idea that someone holds the thing that opens you.

We took that symbolism and illustrated it in the ornate, detailed style that runs through everything we make. Victorian in its decorative language, romantic in its intent, and versatile enough to work far beyond the gothic or alternative aesthetic this studio is known for. These designs suit a country house wedding as naturally as they suit a candlelit city ceremony.


A gatefold version of this collection is in the works. Watch this space.

Alternative gothic lock and key save the date card featuring gold metallic foiling and velvet texture finish.

Explore the Collection

The Lock & Key range currently includes three save the date designs, two featuring the heart padlock and crossed keys in portrait and square format, and one focused on the keys alone. We could not choose between the portrait and the square, so we kept both.

The collection is growing, with a gatefold invitation in the works. Everything is fully personalised and available in any colour or gradient, we love to hear suggestions of new colourways!
