This gorgeous shoot from Ruby & Willow is rich in romantic style, color, and texture
The inspiration was an old fashioned Italian Renaissance style romance theme – think of the overflowing tables you see in renaissance style paintings! The stationery was designed with old love letters in mind, using a font that resembled handwriting, and motifs that reminds one of old world Italian stoneware.
