Understated, elegant, and thoughtfully refined — our Emma Wedding Invitations are a celebration of simplicity done right. If you're dreaming of a neutral wedding palette with a hint of softness and structure, Emma might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

Designed for couples who love subtle texture and a timeless aesthetic, Emma is a perfect match for nearly any wedding style — from garden-inspired to black-tie formal. Whether you're just starting to plan or finalizing your wedding stationery, Emma offers a versatile and elevated option that can be customized to reflect your unique vision.

A Minimalist Wedding Invitation with a Modern Border

What sets the Emma suite apart is its soft, stone-gray border — thin, refined, and visually grounding. It adds just enough structure to the design without overpowering your details. This subtle frame enhances readability and provides a tailored, clean finish.

If you're looking for wedding invitations with border elements, this design offers a polished yet delicate option that blends beautifully into neutral color palettes.

Pair it with black ink for contrast, or opt for a dark gray ink, like Slate to soften the look. Emma is easy to personalize — whether you're planning a formal ballroom celebration or an intimate countryside wedding.

Elegant Gray Wedding Invitations That Feel Anything But Cold

Emma is a perfect example of how gray wedding invitations can feel warm, romantic, and inviting. The suite is shown with our soft Stone color — a warm-toned neutral that’s sophisticated but not stark. It brings a calming sense of balance, making it a lovely choice for year-round celebrations.

To add a touch of texture, the suite is styled with a coordinating Stone belly band and our floral hydrangea envelope liner. The pairing feels organic and elevated, especially when layered with translucent vellum and a bronze wax seal.

Bring in Texture with Vellum and Wax Seals

If you’re drawn to the Emma suite as shown, you'll love the subtle dimension that vellum jackets and wax seals bring to the design. These finishing touches help elevate your suite while keeping everything beautifully bundled together.

In this example, Emma is styled with:

• A semi-transparent vellum jacket to softly frame the suite
• A bronze florette wax seal
• A Stone belly band to bring everything together
• A hydrangea envelope liner in Stone to add a floral touch to the suite

Each of these pieces is optional and can be mixed, matched, or swapped. Prefer silk ribbon? Want to explore different liner patterns, wax seal colors, or printing styles? You can personalize every element of your suite to match your wedding day aesthetic.

Designer Tip: When working with neutral wedding invitations, layering soft textures like vellum and wax gives your suite depth and richness without overwhelming the minimalist feel.
