All because two people fell in Love

Final Wedding Invitation Design: FRONT

If you have been following my blog, you will probably feel like you have seen something similar on here before. - That's because you would be correct!

Originally, I was asked to do a mock flower-wreath wedding invite for my friend, and then she said she liked it so much, that she wondered if I would mind making the full invitation! Of course I didn't, and I am so honoured to have been asked. It was actually a lot of fun, and I'm actually really pleased with the outcome!

The first image is the final front side of the wedding invitation. - Obviously for privacy purposes, the details have been left out and replaced with other text, but still using the original type faces, so that you can get an idea of style and layout.

The original mock-up flower wreath was created on a 40x40 canvas to make a nice rounded shape, however, when asked to do the actual invite, the sizing and shape was a lot different. I had to do from a equal square, to a A5 rectangle. This meant dragging out the flower wreath in an effective way. However, as I split the flowers up, it was actually decided that this looked nice as it was, and no extra flowers were necessary. 

I was then given the text which they both wanted the invitations to read, and they only asked that I have their names in scrabble pieces - which can I say just looks so cute! - and to change the background colour to match the bridesmaid dresses. I was therefore able to have some fun with various typefaces and my handwriting, and balancing them down the invitation.

I have also done two variations for the back image, which details about after parties and wedding receptions, but that was too much to really be published on the internet right now, especially when it isn't my wedding to share!

Here are the orignal sketches and mock-up design that I first did.
