I love all of the brides & grooms I work with. I love to hear their stories - how they met, the inspiration for their wedding invitations, & so on. But this wedding stationery suite...I am in love. In love with not only the design but the sweet story that inspired the design. Lorena, the bride, came to me with a very clear vision & a sketch of what she wanted. At the top of the invitation she wanted two birds perched on a branch of flowers with only the bottom part of their bodies showing & at the bottom, a smaller bird. The two birds at the top represented Lorena & Colter. The bottom bird represented their son. It is a deeply personal design & will truly set the tone for their wedding this summer.
The invitations were letterpress printed on florescent white lettra paper with rich, chocolate brown & orange inks. The rsvp was a postcard with their return address printed on the back. The invitations & rsvps were tucked into a matching white envelope. And yes, indeed, that was some tight registration with the little bird feet & branch. I am quite proud!
I really love that little bird perched on the stump. I think he will make an appearance on some everyday stationery in my shop very soon.
ah, they're loverly, as usual.
