The combination brings a certain sense of enchantment to the day. Combine subtle silver attire with a gorgeous white table setting and our elegant signature wedding invitation range to begin the creation of your perfect white and silver wedding.

Here are a few of our recent clients’ personal touches:

 auravella-blue-flower-wedding-invitation

Jenna and Joe opted to change the colouring of our existing ‘black lily hardcover invitation‘ to a beautiful deep blue. What a beautiful transformation this was, especially in hardcover form.

 

black-stripe-bow-wedding-invitation

Natasha and Daniel loved our black bow hardcover wedding invitation and opted to have this created for them in the designer wedding invitation style, rather than hardcover. This invitation was embellished with black satin ribbon, a black satin bow and a swarovski diamante. Pure elegance!

Peach-floral-wedding-invitation

 

Kathryn and Darren loved our ‘black vine wedding invitation’ but had a summer wedding theme. To keep within their theme, they chose a beautiful peach colour to replace the black and ivory. Gorgeous choice! 

purple-damask-wedding-invitation

Rebecca and Matthew had a purple wedding theme so they opted for a colour change of our ‘blue elegance wedding invitation’  to match their bridesmaid dresses. Very unique!

Natarsha and Shaun chose our signature engagement invitation for their big night.

Here is the gorgeous couple and what they had to say…

“The team at Auravella began to create our perfect Engagement party. We had a idea of what we wanted our invitations and Jess and the team created the perfect invitation for us. We had 100 guests help us celebrate our engagement  and the night was a big party with family and friends. We had many people help us to create such a fantastic night and the Auravella team were one of many helpers.
Thanks again to all the Team at Auravella.”

I couldn’t get over how absolutely real (and yummy) they looked! Really makes you want a cupcake…

They are made in Australia by a company called Planet Yum (yum, indeed!).

Such a brilliant gift idea! She always seems to find these beautiful things :)

Thought I’d share…
