alan & megan’s letterpress invitations
Megan and Alan are two talented young architects and it was no surprise that they thoughtfully perfected every detail of their wedding. They are truly a beautiful couple inside and out and we are so thankful for getting to know them throughout the design process. Their event was elegant, clean, and beautiful – modern with traditional undertones. We used a simple palette of black and white with layers of complimentary textures.
After receiving an addressed calligraphy envelope with custom postage the guest will pull out a package wrapped in tulle. As the tulle is unwrapped a vellum overlay is removed to offer a reveal of Megan and Alan’s names blind pressed with a deep relief into 220lb cotton stock. A series of pressed bars accentuate the black text to add another layer of texture. A map of the wedding location illustrates a blind pressed river with the venues located. The final piece of the set is the rsvp pocket and reply card. It was important to house the smaller rsvp card and envelope without losing the feel and proportion of the set.
It was pretty brave of them to trust us when we assured them that their names would be legible without ink. Thanks guys & congratulations! To see their wedding in action look here and here for one amazing set of engagement photos!
