CLIENT

Kristen and Loren met in high school and had been together for over ten years before they decided to get hitched.


BRIEF

Our wedding was to be held on a beautiful, grassy hill on a farm in Charlottesville, VA, with the reception taking place in an old barn. We wanted a rustic-yet-elegant wedding invitation that represented our wedding and our personalities.


APPROACH

Since we were to be married on our eleven-year anniversary, I envisioned an infographic timeline of our lives showing how long we had been together. A Venn diagram monogram evolved out of this, which then informed the rest of the design including icons, a map, and a flowchart. I designed with letterpress in mind to bring an intimate quality to the invitations—knowing the monogram, which consists of two colors, when overprinted would create a third color. We packaged them into paper-bag-colored envelopes and rubber stamped them to keep with the rustic farm wedding tone and further reflect our personalities.

PRODUCTION LESSONSThe production had to have super tight registration to appropriately convey the overprinted monogram. We went for it anyway and it turned out better than I could have imagined.
