Perfect for a late-summer or autumn wedding, in a château or amid richly decorated surroundings. Each card is printed on thick, silky premium paper, hinting at elegance long before the ceremony begins. Matching white envelopes are, naturally, always included.

Bordeaux is one of those deep, velvety colours that brings instant warmth and character. A Bordeaux wedding invitation evokes fine wine, autumn foliage and long candlelit evenings.
At Cotton Bird, we design personalised Bordeaux wedding invitations, finished with gold or copper foil that enhances this rich colour beautifully.
Bordeaux is a colour full of character, wonderfully suited to a late-summer or autumn wedding, when nature itself glows in warm, rich tones.
A Bordeaux wedding invitation sets the tone for a celebration full of warmth and refinement well before the ceremony begins. It suits couples looking for an intense yet never overpowering colour.
Paired with gold or copper, Bordeaux takes on a particularly noble, almost regal quality, beautifully suited to a stately venue or an autumnal decor.
The classic combination: gold enhances the opulence of Bordeaux, perfect for a stately venue or an elegant evening wedding.
Warmer and less traditional than gold, copper suits an autumn wedding with a rustic or boho touch beautifully.
A softer contrast that tempers the intensity of Bordeaux, suited to a more understated, romantic aesthetic.
