Kristin & Jeremiah
Inspired by the beautiful city of New Orleans, we were tasked with creating an invitation that had both 1920s glamour and sophistication but also communicated all the important information for guests to know about the wedding. We designed a booklet drawing from the city's architecture, more notably the wrought iron façades on Bourbon Street and incorporated them in a unique and luxurious way. The suite was accented with rose gold and silver foil touches throughout.
Sketches
We began the process by designing a few different takes on a New Orleans meets Art Deco invitation booklet. The couple loved the idea of a book inspired invitation so we explored some different options incorporating ironwork (inspired by New Orleans architecture) and old world 1920s design motifs.
Monograms
We then presented the couple with a few different options for an Art Deco monogram that included various geometric borders that framed the letters, a style that they favored during our consultations and discussions.
Design Refinements
After selecting a design to move forward with, we explored some book cover alternates for the invitation as well as some wrought iron envelope options.
Booklet
One of the cornerstone elements of this suite was the unique booklet format which allowed us to fill it with useful information and details about the wedding weekend. Every page from front to back was designed with this in mind, with the last page being devoted to a decorative map of downtown New Orleans.
Illustration
We created a custom illustration of the downtown New Orleans with fun, whimsical icons that nodded to the area such as crawfish, trolleys steamboats and jazz music.
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.
