Sara & Henry
An enchanted garden inspired wedding invitation suite with a dramatic navy blue laser cut sleeve. The invitation features letterpress and foil stamping on the front and shimmering back in shades of antique gold. We also designed a one of a kind crest that included a bear and lion which held personal meaning to the bride and groom. The rest of the suite was printed in a combination of navy and gold on ivory papers and envelopes.
Sketches
We started the process by designing a range of laser cut sleeves all inspired by the idea of an enchanted castle and forest. From foliage to wrought iron details, we explored a variety of motifs to find the perfect match.
Custom crest
We designed a custom crest inspired by vintage coat of arms which incorporated personal details and design elements. The symbol of the bear and the lion were chosen by the bride and groom which flank both sides of the shield.
Sleeve Design
We wanted our laser cut sleeve to feel like an overgrown, enchanted forest so we used the layered effect that laser cutting gives us to our advantage. The design is organic and incorporates trees, brush and vines that surround the crest.
Design Extension
We extended our design to all the various pieces in the suite ranging from envelopes to the rsvp cars and stamps. All elements were designed to work together with the invitation card without being too “matchy matchy”.
Design Refinement
Once the design was complete, we made sure all details and illustrations were perfect. The laser cut sleeve is engineered to make sure there are connections in between each cutout so that the final piece is structurally sound.
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.
