people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

OUR PHILOSOPHY

At Azure Invitations, we take pride in honoring this tradition with deep creative discovery. We believe that amongst the clutter of bills and advertisements, your guests should find a beautiful invitation to escape their everyday, celebrate with loved ones and reconnect.

Our goal is to make sure this correspondence, sent from your heart, is designed to distinctly echo your sentiments and your style. Because it may seem like a small gesture, but your guests will always treasure the way you made them feel.

Azure is built on the belief that being a gracious host is an art form, and that memorable events start with a thoughtfully designed invitation.

Historically, inviting someone to your wedding is a grand gesture. In many cultures, invitations are hand-delivered and sweetened with a box of chocolates or treats.

Beyond setting the tone, your wedding invitation welcomes your guests to share in your joy and serves as an artifact of your union. Your invitation announces the journey that brought you to this milestone, the day your futures are joined before your community.

We were finding it really difficult to find invitation suppliers who incorporated ourethnic backgrounds without it going over the top. I was initially concerned about thefact that we’re based in the UK, and that the distance could possibly compromise on thedesign/vision of what we wanted. But Andaleeb was absolutely lovely in keeping usup-to-date, suggesting alternatives, and taking on board what we had to say. Ourinvitations look chic and classy, and convey our personalities exactly.
