"V" IS FOR VELLUM

Vellum is translucent paper that comes in a variety of weights, colors and prints. I keep vellum in stock at the studio because I spec it as an understated detail on invitations that ultimately adds elegance and purpose. And as a graphic designer, that's important to me.

"V" IS FOR VELLUM

The large photo in the collage above incorporates vellum as a loose overlay and adds to the overall romance, yet protects the formal invitation from the wax seal during mailing. I like to use vellum in booklet invitations as a soft spoken first (and last) page. The middle invitation includes a heavy-weight vellum sleeve (visualize an office folder) that keeps the invitation pieces together inside the envelope... and believe me, your guests will appreciate the thought when they open your invitation. And finally, I printed on light-weight vellum for the scroll and tag on the message in a bottle invitation.
