The team at Paperlust think invitations are just as important as picking your dress, your flowers and styling. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime purchase that you usually make right at the start of wedding planning.” says Shab Mogadam – and I couldn’t agree more! Which is why they have collaborated with renowned flower stylist and creative, Sophia Kaplan, a Sydney-based creative who loves to get her hands dirty creating some floral magic, to create an exclusive – and fabulous – stationery suite featuring a very special and rare plant.

The Slipper Orchid . Orchids or particularly distinctive flowers and plants are not commonly used as wedding foliage, but this weird and wonderful orchid is just as beautiful as any other flower. With this stylish set of stationery, you’ll want to add these slipper orchids to the wedding day styling.

Slipper orchids (Cypripedioideae) originate from parts of Europe, Asia and North America, making them a versatile flower type suitable for any wedding theme or season. From fine orchid illustrations in white ink printed on delicate vellum paper for the save the date (giving the guests a hint of what’s to come), to the main digital invite combining fun slipper orchids with subtle beige colours, to a bolder information card – each card in this set tells a story.

Sophia on her flower choice for the collaboration: “I wanted something that wasn’t overly feminine. I love the exotic beauty of the slipper orchid.”
“Stationery is the first taste guests get of the wedding they’re invited to. Beautiful cards should reflect the couple’s style and help to set the tone of their wedding and build excitement for the day.”
