Tag: illustrated invites

Simple doesn’t always have to be boring. Lauren and Ryan came to me looking for a save the date that would highlight the rustic feel of their venue: an old western Mass family estate. We wanted to keep things pared down, but still create an atmosphere of warmth for their Fall wedding save the dates. I decided to stick with a warm grey on the rustic kraft paper for their main card a do a hand illustration of the Willowdale Estate. Using pencil to capture the intricate stonework, I did a detailed recreation of the venue. Lauren and Ryan wanted to include a details card to provide some extra information for their guests so we went with a natural white insert card to give the suite some depth. I kept the same warm grey text and added some whimsical leaves to capitalize on autumnal feel. On the back, Lauren and Ryan provided a very sweet quote that I included along with their date and names. To add a little color we played off the woodland theme and created a grassy green, wood grain inspired print for their liner. Simple, streamlined and sweet, these rustic save the dates really play up that cozy feel of a Fall wedding.
