2011 Wedding Roses Commemorative stamps 500pcs

The 2011 Wedding Roses stamp features a photograph of two white roses gently resting atop a piece of wedding correspondence. A white ribbon is visible in the background. The stamp is meant for use on the RSVP envelope often enclosed with a wedding invitation and on announcements, thank-you notes, and other correspondence.

Wedding ceremonies are as varied and distinctive as the people who celebrate them. They range from large formal services held inside to small and informal outdoor gatherings—and everything in between. Yet no matter the size and style of the ceremony, one thing remains certain: Weddings are a celebration of the union of two people who have pledged to love and trust one another as they begin a new life together.

Photographer Renée Comet worked with art director Ethel Kessler to develop a new stamp design that would complement the two-ounce Wedding Cake stamp.

The Wedding Roses stamp is being issued in panes of 20 self-adhesive Forever® stamps. Forever stamps are always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce rate.
