Caroline & Paul
We took the idea of the classic engraved wedding invitation and took it to the next level with this chic and sophisticated luxury suite for a destination wedding in Vienna, Austria. The invitation and cards are all engraved in black ink on luxurious cotton papers while our ultra-thick folder showcases the skyline of Vienna in opulent gold and pearlescent foils.
Sketches
We began the process with a few different design directions all centered around incorporating a large folder surrounding the invitation card. We explored design elements ranging from snowflakes and ornate scrollwork to an engraved illustration of the Vienna Skyline to help add excitement to a formal, engraved wedding invitation.
Monograms
No design is ever complete without a unique monogram which is the centerpiece of the invitation suite. We explored a variety of monograms ranging from classic to more contemporary styles.
Design Refinement
Once the look and feel were defined, we embarked on the process of extending the design to all the pieces in the invitation suite. We wanted to the suite to feel coordinated as a whole without being too “matchy matchy” so each item, from reply card to envelopes has different design elements that work harmoniously with the overall design aesthetic.
Illustration
We created a custom engraved illustration of the skyline of Vienna featuring the St. Stephen’s Cathedral as well as the Karlskirche which adorned the invitation wrap in gold foil.
Final Design
At the end of the creative process, after all edits and refinements are made, the full suite comes to life in the hands of our expert team of printers and craftsmen.
