Design that tells a story long before your day begins.
A meaningful detail in G + C’s invitation suite was the mountain silhouette details card.
The three peaks were intentionally designed to reflect the Colorado mountains where Genevieve and Cody fell in love while running, and the sister mountains of San Luis Obispo, the place they chose to get married. A single detail holding meaning, movement, and place.
One quiet detail, layered with intention.

Design becomes meaningful when intention shapes every detail.
Every piece of this custom wedding invitation suite and day-of signage was created with purpose. The floral watercolor was painted in advance, inspired by the day-of florals by @moonglowfloral guests would later experience in person. The lavender envelope was selected to mirror the bride’s shoes from @bellabelleshoes, creating a subtle yet meaningful connection between style and stationery.

2026 is trending toward color. Bold, expressive, and rooted in intention.
G + C’s invitation suite was a vibe from the very first layer. A custom watercolor envelope liner and vellum belly band introduced jewel-toned florals inspired by the day-of arrangements guests would later experience in person.
Paired with a soft lavender envelope and a bold, thin serif typeface, the palette felt vibrant yet refined. Color here wasn’t decorative. It set the tone and began the story.
