Design Motifs:

• 1970s: The illustrated wedding scenes (like the bride and groom under a floral arch) and the "Tiffany blue" colors were highly popular during this decade.
• 1980s: Bolder floral prints and the use of metallic gold accents (seen on the "Engagement" paper) became more prevalent in the 1980s.
