Torn-edge gold paper layered over ivory, a lotus blooming at the centre, Islamic calligraphy flowing along the borders in delicate metallic script. The Gilded Lotus is a nikah invitation that feels like an heirloom before it even reaches the guest's hands, each layer adding depth and intention.
Each card is handcrafted from seed paper in our solar-powered workshop in Agra, using upcycled cotton textile waste. The layered torn-edge technique gives every card a textural richness that flat-printed invitations simply cannot achieve. After the nikah, guests plant the card and watch it bloom into basil, marigolds, or wildflowers. From sacred script to living roots.
