What makes this template special
Cinematic full-bleed hero
Your couple photo fills the entire screen behind a deep wine overlay with marigold gold typography — the invitation poster your wedding has been waiting for.
Marigold petal cascade
Marigold petals cascade down the hero on arrival — the visual sensation of walking into a mandap strung with flower garlands.
Gold shimmer on scroll
Gold particles shimmer through the deep backgrounds as guests explore the invitation — luxury expressed in motion.
Parallax hero depth
The hero scrolls with deep parallax that gives the impression of moving through a palace corridor — immersive and cinematic.
Cormorant Garamond elegance
Cormorant Garamond's calligraphic warmth gives names and headings a heritage stationery quality — like a royal wedding card, digitised.
Flower bloom gateway
The invitation opens with flowers blooming across the screen — the visual poetry of a heritage Indian wedding beginning.

Open live demo invitationIs Velvet Marigold right for your wedding?
Velvet Marigold is built around the specific sensory memory of a flower-garlanded mandap — marigold strings, amber string lighting, a wine-dark evening — so it suits a wedding where floral decor is a major part of the budget and the couple wants the invitation to preview that atmosphere rather than just state the facts. It photographs particularly well when paired with an evening ceremony or reception that actually uses marigold and amber lighting in its decor, since the invitation and the venue end up telling the same visual story.
The deep wine palette sets this apart from the more common red-and-gold or orange-and-gold templates on Wowzey — wine reads as more contemporary and less traditional-red, which makes it a good fit for a couple who wants heritage warmth without the invitation looking identical to their parents' or grandparents' wedding cards. The calligraphic heading style carries couple names with a handwritten, almost letter-like quality, which pairs well if you're including a short personal note about your love story rather than only logistical details.
This is a Premium template, so it comes with the full six-section ceremony structure plus the extras Premium plans unlock — higher guest caps and custom domain support matter here, since a wedding with a decor budget large enough to justify marigold-and-amber styling throughout typically also has a larger guest list to manage.
Frequently asked questions
How do we make sure the invitation's colours match our actual mandap decor?+
If you're planning marigold garlands and warm amber lighting for your mandap, this template's palette is designed to echo that combination directly, so uploading photos of the venue or decor mockups to the gallery section reinforces rather than clashes with the invitation's own colours. It's one of the few templates on Wowzey built around a specific decor colour story rather than a general aesthetic.
Is a written love-story section common on Indian wedding invitations, or mostly a Western custom?+
It's become increasingly common in Indian invitations over the last several years, especially digital ones — a short paragraph about how the couple met sits comfortably alongside traditional ceremony details, and this template's pullquote layout is built specifically to hold that kind of personal text well.
What plan includes Velvet Marigold?+
It's a Premium template, available on Wowzey's Premium and Corporate plans. Premium also raises guest and RSVP limits, useful for the larger guest lists that typically accompany a wedding with this level of decor investment.
Can we still use the default Mehendi, Haldi, Sangeet, Baraat, Pheras, and Reception events, or do we have to rename them?+
You're free to keep the default event names exactly as they are, rename any of them, or add extra custom events — nothing about the template requires you to change the default ceremony sequence if it already matches your wedding's schedule.
