This is directly inspired by classic champagne label designs, with over-the-top curly swashes. I wanted to make it the obvious choice for a classy wedding invitation for someone with a taste for the finer things in life, who likes champagne, glamour and elaborate decorative touches. If I could put gold embossing on it, I would!
