THE DETAILS
All of The Cardinal Collective invitation designs are completely original and start the old-fashioned way — with paintbrushes and calligraphy pens. You'll never see a stock image or canned script here, because they are created completely by hand.
After final approval by the client, designs are then given the 21st century treatment and digitized in preparation for print.

Prices start at $500, and include:
Invitation

Custom Watercolor
Starting at $75, enhance your invitation design with whatever you can dream up!

I love creating watercolor illustrations to enhance wedding invitations and make them unique from the mass-produced images you can buy elsewhere. They are customized to each bride, taking into account her color palette and style. Prices begin at $75.
