Candlelit Couple Portrait wedding invitation

Taper candles, velvety burgundy roses and cream peonies glowing against a midnight sky — an intimate evening wedding invitation that sets a generated likeness of the two of you in the warm light at its center.

Candlelit wedding invitation with a sample portrait of a couple against a dark night sky, a woman in a wine-red gown glancing back over her shoulder and a man in a black tuxedo resting his head against hers, framed by lit taper candles in brass candlesticks, burgundy roses and cream peonies, with “Layla & Omar” in large gold-ivory serif capitals between filigree rules above the details

About this design

What makes it
feel like the table.

  • Burgundy rose
  • Ivory lettering
  • Warm gold ornament
  • Night field
  • Candlelit peony

A portrait of a couple fills well over half of the card, set against a dark night sky dusted with tiny gold specks. In the sample, a woman in a deep wine-red gown with a sheer, embroidered drape over one shoulder turns to glance back toward the viewer, while a man in a black tuxedo and bow tie stands behind her with his eyes closed and his head resting against hers. Nothing frames them: the portrait simply sinks into the darkness, and the lower part of her gown fades away behind the wording. Lit ivory tapers in brass candlesticks stand at the left edge and at the lower right, and deep burgundy roses, cream peonies and leafy sprigs climb both sides of the card and crowd its lower corners.

Everything is painted in a rich, lifelike style, as if the scene were lit only by the candles. Warm light falls across the two faces and catches a gold drop earring, while the edges of the card fall away to near-black. The roses have a deep, velvety red, the peonies glow from cream to soft amber at their centers, and the leaves are tipped in olive and gold. With black, burgundy and candle gold doing almost all the work, the card feels intimate and formal, closer to a late dinner in an old villa than a sunny garden ceremony. The couple pictured are fictional; your version shows a generated likeness of the two people in your photo in their place, and the matching pieces are graphics with no portrait.

All of the lettering is a warm gold-ivory, centered over the dark lower half. “By candlelight” opens in small, widely spaced serif capitals above a fine gold filigree rule with a small fleur-de-lis ornament at its center. The names, “Layla & Omar” on the sample, are by far the largest line, in elegant serif capitals with a curling ampersand, and a second filigree rule mirrors the first beneath them. The details follow in spaced serif capitals that get smaller toward the foot of the card: “Saturday, December 11 · 5 PM” and “Villa Rosa · Florence”, then a short gold rule with a tiny center ornament, “Dinner & dancing” and, smallest of all, “Kindly reply by November 12”.

Good to know

About this template.

Will my invitation look exactly like this one?

It will follow this design's direction: a generated likeness of the two of you against a dark night sky, lit taper candles in brass candlesticks, burgundy roses and cream peonies around the edges, and gold-ivory serif names between filigree rules above the details. Because Inviti generates each invitation with AI from your details, the arrangement and lettering can differ from this sample.

How does our photo become the portrait?

This design needs one personal photo of the couple, and Inviti AI won't generate it without one. The pair in the sample are fictional: Inviti AI redraws the card with the two people from your photo in their place, aiming to keep your recognizable features, hair and expressions, and keeps the layout and your wording. The result is a generated likeness, not your picture pasted onto the card, and it shows no more than two faces, so use one clear, well-lit photo of just the two of you with nobody else in it. The candlelit glow is part of the design, so a bright, clear photo where both faces are easy to see serves better than a dim evening snapshot. Before you share, check both faces and read every line of wording, and ask for a change if anything looks off.

Is it only for a candlelit evening in Italy?

No. “By candlelight” and Villa Rosa in Florence are only the sample's wording and venue. Enter your own place, whether that is a winery, a hotel ballroom or a restaurant's private room, replace “Dinner & dancing” with your own plans, and swap the opening line for something like “An evening of love” if you prefer; a few words fit best in the small spaced capitals above your names. The candles and night sky are part of the artwork, so the card suits an evening wedding in any season, though it reads dressier than a daytime garden party.

Can I print it?

Yes. The invitation is designed at 5×7 inches, and the app's print preparation can lay out copies on A4 or US Letter with crop marks. Dark designs print best on matte paper; generate at full resolution rather than the introductory 1K size.

What matching pieces are there?

With Pro you can request matching pieces such as a “Wedding menu” card, a welcome sign with your names and date, a “By candlelight” sign with your names, a “Cards & gifts” sign, a “Please sign our guest book” sign, a “Wishes for” sign with your names, a cake topper with both names, cupcake toppers with your initials, letter banner flags with an empty photo opening, food labels such as “Rose pistachio cake”, water bottle labels with your names and date, “A sweet thank you” chocolate bar labels, and “Thank you” cards and tags, all drawn as graphics without the portrait. Each piece is a separate generation; the full sample set is shown below.
