Elle & Ron

Boulder, Colorado

Created as a heartfelt gift to the couple during the uncertainty of COVID, this invitation suite was a celebration of what matters most: family, community, and the joy of being together. Inspired by the wildflower-filled landscape of Boulder Flower Farm, the design embraced a palette of soft purples, warm peaches, and butter yellows, bringing the beauty of the outdoors into every detail.

Housed in a natural wood invitation box, the suite featured handmade cotton paper adorned with delicate wildflower illustrations and flowing modern calligraphy. A floral wax seal and translucent vellum envelope added layers of texture and romance, while a simple reminder—that all you need is love—felt especially meaningful during a time when gathering together was anything but certain.

The gift extended beyond paper, bringing together treasures from local artisans, including lavender soap from Spinster Sisters and locally sourced lavender honey. Each box was wrapped in hand-dyed cotton gauze and silk, finished with antique brass clips and locally sourced dried florals. Every element was chosen with intention, celebrating the makers, materials, and community that made the experience so personal.

On the wedding day, the story continued through hand-stamped leather parasol tags tied with hand-dyed silk ribbon, menus crafted from handmade paper and wrapped in plant-dyed silk, and vow books made with the same tactile, natural materials. Together, these details created a celebration rooted in the beauty of the outdoors and the enduring importance of showing up for one another. A reminder that even in uncertain times, love persists—and the moments we share are worth celebrating.
