Wedding Invitation Suite
This invitation suite was commissioned for the wedding of Olympic bronze medal field hockey player Gurjant Singh and Indian tennis player Karman Thandi.
PROCESS
I had almost full creative freedom from the client in nearly all the elements of this project. I began with the custom illustration of the couple that would be on the first page of the invite, and then drew further inspiration from each of their birth flowers which I incorporated into the border surrounding this hero illustration. Each wedding event needed its own page, and I used a border inspired by traditional Indian marble and tile work to create a repeating motif that would tie each page together. I used the cover illustration as the inspiration for the colours used throughout this suite. This project also required me to strike a balance between legible text hierarchy and traditional wedding ceremony text layouts that would be familiar for the clients and their guests.
This project was completed using Procreate and Adobe Photoshop
design highlights
A monogram insignia was created with elements from the cover page, and was used on the envelope for each invitation.
I drew unique spot illustrations that anchored each event’s individual page.
The text used for the title of each event was hand drawn.
A Save The Date graphic was also commissioned for this project.
I used historical patent illustrations for the couple’s respective sporting instrument (field hockey stick and tennis racquet), as well as their birth flowers to create a custom personalized repeating background.
