Weddings

Jessie & Emil

This suite was a delightful collaboration with the bride, an artist from Hilton Head Island. The individual watercolor illustrations are her original paintings of the local flora and fauna, which I arranged to create each enclosure design.

Their names were written by hand in copperplate script which was used as spot calligraphy in the design. The full text of the ceremony invitation was also calligraphed and digitized before being letterpress printed in blue ink.


Designs: reception invitation, ceremony invitation, rehearsal dinner invitation

Calligraphy: invitation spot calligraphy, envelope addressing

Venue: Hilton Head Island, South Carolina
