Vibrant Citrus Wedding Invitation Inspiration in Scottsdale, Arizona
A hand-painted wedding invitation suite sets the tone for this colorful, citrus-inspired celebration in the heart of Scottsdale.
Infused with rich watercolor florals and bold botanical accents, the custom suite was designed to reflect the vibrant spirit of the wedding — bursting with sunny yellows, warm oranges, and fresh greens.
This editorial showcases how art-driven wedding invitations can become a central storytelling element, perfectly complementing every visual detail of a thoughtful celebration.
Inspired by the charm of Sicilian summers and the warmth of Arizona light, this wedding was a celebration of joy, color, and artistry. The invitation suite featured hand-painted oranges, lemon branches, and soft green vines, echoing the lush citrus florals found in the ceremony arch and reception arrangements. Every detail — from the custom envelope liner to the painted crest — was created to mirror the couple’s palette and aesthetic vision.
Printed on textured cotton paper with elevated finishes like gold foil and letterpress, the invitation suite offered a tactile, high-end experience for guests from the moment they opened the envelope.
At the venue, the stationery design extended into the day-of details, creating a cohesive visual journey. The menus featured miniature versions of the floral artwork from the suite.
This suite wasn’t just a design — it was an emotional introduction to the day.
