As featured in Wedding Inspirations 2012 Autumn Publication, this Folded Pouch is our take on a vintage wedding invitation. The double sided folded vellum pouch can hold several inserts, which we tied with a paper detail and bradlet. We illustrated a bold pattern & used decorative fonts. A round window in the pouch allows one to add a monogram on the inserts which can then be seen once the pouch is closed.

This lovely couple had such fun with their themed wedding and it created a fantastic festive ambiance.

Our designs for this wedding included a Digital Save-the-date with an online RSVP form whereby guests could update their dietary requirements and view accommodation options.  The wedding invitation simulated a travel ticket, with a tear-off functionality and a Custom illustrated map.

This couple had travelled extensively and we incorporated this idea into the seating plan. We used the abbreviations of the airports that they had traveled through, as the table numbers, which we indicated by silk-screening them onto lampshades, which were suspended over the tables (Credit to Something Different Lighting). Table seating tags indicated the “destination” which related to the hanging table number.

Menu’s were folded cards which were placed in double sided custom envelopes, addresses to each guest. These contained a thank-you note and had a beautiful ribbon detail.

For the additional stationery we created paper confetti cones with a map of the London Underground, “Wish you were here” postcards which guests could fill in and “post” in the inbox section of an open vintage suitcase. We created white laser cut signages stating “ Enjoy the Journey”, Coffee Bars, etc.

The order of ceremony translated into a travel passport, which had gorgeous vintage map details printed inside.

The candy bar Had a mini airplane with hanging canvas signage indicating it being the dessert table. Zoo cookies had printed icing with our artwork. Even the wedding cake (Wades Cakes) contained some of our artwork. The silver mirror cake topper which had Chris and Leigh-Annes Initials, but “CL” also doubles up as the abbreviation for number plates for Stellenbosch, where the couple had been married (Molenvliet Wine Estate). Floral designs by Okasie, Co-ordinated by Absolute Collection.

We created a customized monogram using their initials, as well as cameo illustrations of their silhouettes. The Colours were Navy and Pink with Creams and Nudes,

Using Modern Fonts and Vellum Papers. Menus were to be hung on Tiffany chairs and Doubled up as the Table Seating Plan!

We also Designed a Cake-Topper with their Cameos.
