What it is
Maison d'Or is the white-on-white invitation. The page is the colour of a pearl rather than of paper, a fine marble veining runs behind the text, and the single note of colour is a pale gold taken from the gilt on an old house.
A leaf motif sits at the head of each section, drawn in the finest rule the renderer can manage. The frame around the page is hairline thin, so that the whole thing reads as light and a little airy, never heavy.
Who it suits
A garden wedding in early summer, a conservatory, a country house with white roses on every table. It suits a day that is bright and romantic and quietly expensive, with the florist doing most of the talking.
It works well for couples who like their photographs pale. If the dress is ivory, the flowers are white and the linen is cream, this page will sit in the same palette as everything else the guests are about to see.
The typography
Names are set in Playfair Display, a high-contrast editorial serif whose hairlines are very fine against its thick strokes. At display size in title case it has the look of a fashion masthead, which is the intention.
Everything functional is Jost in small sizes and a warm grey. Because the colour is so restrained, the contrast between the thick and thin strokes of the serif is the main decoration on the page.
How it opens
The veil. A pale sheet covers the page, and as the guest taps it lifts away upward like a curtain being drawn, leaving the names and the date behind it. On a pearl palette it feels like a gauze rather than a wipe.
It runs for about two seconds and does not bounce. On a phone with reduce-motion switched on the veil never plays and the invitation is open from the first frame, with nothing missing from it.
