Key West Wedding at Truman Little White House

Mandy and Ed first came to us for Save the Dates for their Key West wedding. For their wedding invitation, they wanted an informational booklet for their guests to be able to use while visiting the island. First we created a watercolor painting of their venue, Truman Little White House, and used it as the cover of their destination wedding invitation.

Included in the book were a letter to their guests, accommodations information, and a custom map corresponding with the following page of "phony ads"for real places they enjoy on the island and other useful information.

RSVP postcards used a digital illustration of the Conch Repulic flag.

We also created an original monogram for their wedding brand, which was used in 

the booklet and later on cocktail napkins, coasters, stickers and favor tote bags. 

They loved their monogram so much they had a custom flag made!!

The Truman Little White House painting was used for ceremony programs 

and we loved their idea of using colorful fish on their seating cards.

Gabriella & Domenick's English Estate Wedding

Gaby and Dom will be married this summer in Oxfordshire, England at the the gorgeous Cornbury Park Estate. We created an illustration of the venue for their Save the Dates, which sits at the top of their wedding invitation. An illustrated map of their story was commissioned for use as a fun insert/backside of their Weekend Activities card.

Cornbury Park - Oxfordshire, England Save the Dates

Gaby and Domenic will be married next summer in England at the amazing Cornbury Park Estate. She engaged us to create a hand-tinted sketch of the wedding venue for the front of the card. The back of the card featured watercolor illustration references to New York (their home together) and London (her original home).

Key West Southernmost Point Buoy Save the Dates

Destination weddings are usually a great opportunity for us to design something atypical, and this is especially true for save the dates. Our clients Mandy and Ed will be married next year at Truman Little White House in Key West, but wanted a more general Key West theme for their save the date cards. The southernmost point buoy worked well in parody format, and is immediately recognizable as a symbol of the storied Florida destination.

Cristina & Lloyd's Puerto Rico Wedding Map

Cristina and Lloyd were married May 17th in Puerto Rico, at her grandmother's house (pictured on the map). What made this map a little different than any of our others is that the icons shown and states listed represent all the places from where friends and family traveled to celebrate the wedding. The newlyweds were generous enough to share a photo of how a print of the map was displayed with the seating chart we designed to match.

Architectural Art Deco Save the Date

Vintage architectural details can be very inspirational, and when they translate into a perfect design solution, we are thrilled. The window shape from the Enoch Turner Schoolhouse, the venue for this Art Deco styled wedding, made for a nice way to display the typography.

International Wedding Map

We recently completed our first international map for clients in Edinburgh, Scotland. The map showcases not only their wedding but some highlights from their history as a couple and their native homes of Colombia/Madrid and Geneva, Switzerland.

Wedding at The Hotel Hershey

Kiah and Matt were married at The Hotel Hershey last September. While there on a visit earlier in the year, she fell in love with this rug in one of the hotel's public spaces. The rug design inspired the border we created for her letterpress wedding invitations and response cards.

Key West Destination Wedding "After Party"

Suzanne and Jim had a small wedding ceremony in Key West, then returned home to New Jersey to throw a celebratory party for their friends and extended families. The wedding locale provided a festive color scheme for their post-nuptial invitations. We accented both Key West and New Jersey in the photographs on their response postcard and hand-lettered a "logo" for both use on both pieces.

Destination Travel Poster Villa Zorayda

This travel poster-inspired wedding gift was commissioned last fall along with the St. Lucia/Jamaica poster  . The ceremony took place at Villa Zorayda in St. Augustine, Florida. The architecture of the building was a gorgeous backdrop for the couple.

Destination Wedding Travel Posters

Winter snowstorms have us longing for sunnier destinations! From time to time new clients fall in love with existing designs or illustrations and request a version of their own. The original Key Largo poster was part of a wedding invitation set and was created using watercolors. The Saint Lucia/Jamaica poster was a digital recreation commissioned as a wedding gift by a mother of the bride. In a crazy turn of events, St. Lucia airport was shut down due to Hurricane Tomas the weekend of the scheduled nuptials, and the entire wedding had to be replanned on the spot (in the airport!). The wedding party and their guests rerouted to Jamaica, and the story had a happy ending!
