My wedding invitations were designed with the modern-but-vintage flair which is popular at the moment. The invitations and the other wedding stationery use floral imagery and a combination of fantastic fonts. I was originally inspired by the vintage letterpress designs that are popular at the moment, and this fit the mood and the setting of the wedding perfectly. The wedding was held at a small country church on the edge of my parents' farm, and this church was the first in the county, dating from the late 1800s. The reception was held at a winery.
Cornflowers feature prominently in the design. These are my favourite flower, and they were used in the wedding. The image of the cornflower also highlights the vintage mood as cornflowers can be found growing in the countryside and meadowlands. (I drew the cornflowers and cornflower buds using Adobe Illustrator.)
Choosing a combination of acceptable and aesthetic fonts for the theme was an important task, so I selected three primary fonts to use in these wedding invites. The fonts convey a modern vintage feel while keeping some elegance with the Feel Script font.

The cards were printed on a brown/slate-coloured recycled card stock, which contained
imperfections to give it a vintage and old-fashioned feel. Matching RSVP cards, envelopes, a directions card, and a program card for the day's events were also designed.
A sampling of the work is below, and I hope that these will also inspire you.
