While I have never designed wedding invitations before and was somewhat intimidated by the prospect — insomuch that it is something so special and significant towards what can be the biggest day of someone’s life — I was incredibly flattered to help Tamera with the invitations for her wedding this past October.

Once hearing her concept for them, with individual gifts for the guests and a story woven throughout, I got even more excited, and the final results with everything put together are so beautiful that I just feel lucky to have been a part of the process. Finding a balance between having the design be interesting while also easy to read and classic was a nice challenge, and I believe we were both quite pleased with the results.

The invitations were gocco’d onto old book leaves with shimmery gold ink, and the RSVP cards are printed onto vintage postcards from Vermont, where the wedding was held.
