Martha’s Vineyard Save the Date

Sarah and Todd are planning an early Fall wedding on Martha’s Vineyard and wanted to send out save the dates that captured their feel as a couple while still letting their destination play a role. We wanted to keep the overall feel clean and polished with a definite emphasis on the hand illustrated look. Going with a double sided save the date allowed us to really take advantage of a whole page illustration. Sarah said that one her favorite parts of going to the Vineyard is the initial feel you get when pulling into the island on the ferry, so we wanted to capture that. The ferry scene was a perfect way to exhibit the unique location, and juxtaposed with their silhouettes {alongside their cute pups} gives it a real romantic feel. While I love the lighthouse and view of the shore, I think the lifesaving ring is cutest touch. We also drew up a fun details card that lets guests know the weekend schedule as well as information on getting there. We kept it classic, with a watercolor ombre wash on the front and packed it up nicely in a glassine envelope. Both pieces are printed on Crane Lettra paper which accentuates the soft watercolor feel. We finished it off with a vintage Martha’s Vineyard map which really ties everything together.
