Project Description
Inspired by the bride and groom’s destination nuptials, guests received a family of coastal inspired elements leading up to the big day. Super saturated color, linear pattern work, hand-cut polygons and luxurious Italian cotton paper make this system too lovely and unforgettable. Letterpress suite includes luggage tag inspired save-the-date, announcement, weekend guide with perforated rsvp, program and menu.Production Lesson(s)
We wanted to find a way to create a luxe system without an outrageous budget. We swapped what we initially envisioned as die-cuts to hand-trimmed polygons and we were able to achieve the look we desired. While the Save-the-Date featured 2 colors, we kept the larger suite to 1 color per piece–saving us production time and dollars.
