Dove Save the Date

I designed Emily and Robbie's Save the Date postcard this week. I like to creatively respond to the elements I start with. For example, Whitney Carlson of Dove Wedding Photography sent me an engagement photo of one of her couples: Emily and Robbi. The photo is urban with concrete structures in the background, with a splash of an organic element (i.e. dirt). The picture is dynamic with diagonals created from the concrete structure in the background. So I wanted the type to interact with the background--not interrupt it but rather sit nicely within or on top of the background.

Emily and Robbie's colors are raspberry and navy. Good shot Whitney. They look so happy with each other.

Save the Date Postcard

Donna and Ken are getting married next July in Paris, TN, and I had the honor of being at their engagement photo session with Whitney Carlson of Dove Wedding Photography. The couple is sending out Save the Date postcards just in time for Christmas. The only perimeters she gave us is that her colors are pink-almost-fuchsia and black. The main texture is linen. Here is their card.

Wedding Save the Date

While freelancing at a lovely place up the street that feels like home, I put together the following Save the Date card directions for a bride who will be having an elegant catholic wedding next summer. Her colors will be black, cream, and burgundy with lots of lacy details throughout the evening.



I really like the type treatment on the one above. It works nicely with the Victorian textile pattern and the original intentions of the bride.



The negative space of this layout makes it a more contemporary choice. The decor behind the type becomes almost iconic. Wedding invitations along with everything that go with them, the program, RSVP card, directions, invite, etc. are a lot of fun putting together.
