APPROACH

This piece served as the save the date for my wed­ding in Octo­ber 2010. My hus­band has a lot of fam­i­ly mem­bers who live out of state who I had­n’t had the chance to meet so I want­ed to tell our sto­ry by shar­ing some impor­tant details of our life togeth­er up to that point. Each icon in the time­line rep­re­sents a mile­stone or spe­cial moment in our courtship. An expla­na­tion of each was pro­vid­ed on our blog. I was hap­py to get a lot of good feed­back from guests who enjoyed the insight and shared some laughs with those who took a stab at piec­ing it togeth­er on their own.

I was fortunate enough to get my hands dirty during production and I’d say the biggest challenge was keeping consistency with the color, knowing that I’d be carrying it over into the actual invitation. Thinking ahead, I wanted everything to be as cohesive as possible and with mixed printing methods, it would take a bit more tenacity to achieve.
