Aurelia is a premium, ready-to-launch website template for couples who want their wedding to feel like a gilded letterpress invitation come to life. Warm cream, real gold and a terracotta accent give it an editorial, stationery-studio elegance that turns a date and a place into an experience your guests remember before they ever arrive.

It's built on static HTML + Tailwind CSS. No React, no build step — the compiled CSS ships in the box, so you open index.html and you're live on any static host.

WHAT'S INSIDE (12 sections)

• Sticky nav + accessible mobile menu

• Hero with the couple's names and a live countdown to the wedding day

• Our-story / how-we-met editorial band

• The-day schedule as a vertical timeline (ceremony, toasts, dinner, dancing)

• Asymmetric photo gallery (mosaic, not a uniform grid)

• Wedding party introductions

• Details — dress code, travel, and where to stay

• A working RSVP form (honest — no dark patterns)

• Gift registry links

• Venue & location with a CSS map placeholder

• FAQ that answers the questions guests actually ask

• Footer with the couple's monogram

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT

• A real signature, not a stock kit — gilded gold rules and a letterpress-invitation feel recur across the page; the live countdown makes the date the loudest thing on screen; Fraunces serif carries the romance while Manrope keeps the details crisp.

• Re-skin from one place — every colour and font is a token; change the gold and the whole site follows.

• Self-hosted fonts (Fraunces · Manrope, woff2) — no Google CDN, no layout shift.

• Image-resilient — every photo has a warm CSS fallback, so the page never looks broken.

• WCAG AA contrast, semantic HTML, keyboard-friendly, prefers-reduced-motion aware.

• Fully responsive from phone to desktop — guests RSVP from the link in your invite.

• No dark patterns — no fake countdowns to a different sale, just a real countdown to your day.
