Vintage Wedding Invitations

All of our designs have nods to vintage. That's our style and our vibe. We love nosing around an antique store looking for trinkets, ornaments and such.

These are our vintage wedding invitations and save the dates: ornate frames, crossed keys, heart padlocks, plain gold rings and old fashioned folded letters. Some are light and romantic, some are a little bit haunted house. If you want vintage wedding invites with more character than a template, start here. Each one is personalised with your details and printed to order.

 Vintage Save the Dates, Invitations and Folded Letters 

Whatever stage you're at, there's a vintage design for it. Lock & Key comes as save the dates, single card invitations or evening invitations. Candle & Key and Interlocking Rings are gatefold invitations that open from the centre. The Victorian Folding Letter does the lot on one sheet.

Every design can be printed in any colour, so if you love the illustration but not the colourway, that's the easiest thing to change.

Victorian & Vintage Collection

Vintage wedding stationery inspired by Victorian letters, rings, keys and candlelight

Lock & Key is the romantic one, light and quietly vintage. Candle & Key is a little bit haunted house, a little bit Downton Abbey. Interlocking Rings is timeless and luxurious, two plain gold wedding bands. And the Victorian Folding Letter opens like the paper fortune tellers we all made as children. These are our vintage wedding invitations and save the dates, each one personalised and printed to order.

The Candle & Key |  Vintage Gothic Wedding Invitations 

Of everything we make, this is the collection we are most proud of.

A vintage wedding invitation suite laid out like the gallery wall of an old house. Portrait frames. A lit candle in its holder. A sacred heart. Crossed keys. Iron gate spires. It looks like a shelf in an antique shop, the trinkets and ornaments we can never walk past. Open the gatefold and the whole wall is there, a montage of illustrated objects that together tell the story of the two of you. The things you collect. The places you have been. The life you have built together.

Like any collection of old things, it's better when it's yours. We adapt the gallery wall to reflect your relationship. So far that has meant a pumpkin for an autumn wedding, a bat for a Halloween couple, and a portrait of a couple's cat, hand drawn into the montage. There is also a silhouette and cameo version, with your two profiles on the cover in the tradition of the portrait keepsakes of the Georgian and Victorian eras.

If you have an object, a creature or a detail that belongs on your wall, we want to hear about it. Get in touch about bespoke additions before placing your order.

Lock and Key vintage save the date on blue card with white heart padlock and keys

The Lock & Key | Romantic Vintage Save the Dates

This one started with a doodle. Joshua had been floating the idea of a heart-shaped padlock for a while, and a small sketch slowly became something much bigger. Pale blues, pastel greens and ornate illustration. Light and romantic and quietly vintage. Each design works as a save the date, a single card invitation or an evening invitation.

Interlocking Rings | Elegant Vintage Wedding Invitations

Some designs come from the grandest ideas. This one came from the simplest. We both chose plain gold wedding bands, no engraving, no embellishment, and that became a design. It's for couples who want something classic and enduring, the kind of invitation that feels like an heirloom before the wedding has even happened. The save the date has the entire front foiled.

The Victorian Folding Letter | Vintage Style Wedding Invitations

An old fashioned love letter, also known as a Victorian puzzle purse. It's inspired by the paper fortune tellers we all made as children, that satisfying fold that reveals something when you open it, except this one holds your wedding details. Order it pre-folded, or flat to fold at home. Our honest advice: fold one test piece first. Or just let us handle it.

And if you want the post itself to feel like it came from another century, the Victorian Folding Letter. Every design can be printed in any colour and is personalised to you.
