Marriage by Design

I had the honor of designing the full print suite for my sister’s wedding. It was held at a Tuscan-inspired venue that perfectly set the scene for a springtime celebration. From Save the Dates to invitations and day-of signage, every piece was hand-crafted to reflect the couple’s joyful, vibrant style.

Concept & inspiration

The Oliver’s wedding drew inspiration from the charm of Italy in springtime: primarily bright colors and blooming flowers that capture the vibrance of the season. Bailey (the bride) and I worked together to choose the perfect rainbow suite of colors to evoke the feeling of Spring Wildflowers. The goal was for the designs to feel organic, layered, and full of life. The moodboard to the right shows my inspiration for layering, colorful envelopes, script fonts, and the wax seal. The dress she wore during her engagement photos inspired a color in the palette.

Save the Dates & Invitations

Designing the stationery was where the vision really started to take shape. The invitations featured two layers of linen paper, each one hand-cut and wrapped in a vellum jacket. It was finally sealed with a wax “O” for their new last name. For the Save the Dates, I went with a rough-textured cardstock and hand-torn edges to create an organic, soft feel. Every color tied back to the bride’s palette, cheerful pastels and bright spring tones that set the tone for the entire celebration.

Designs for the Big Day

On the wedding day, my focus was on keeping everything cohesive, functional, and beautiful. I designed table numbers, a seating chart, name cards, and a variety of wayfinding and informational signs. Each piece needed to blend with the venue’s décor while being easy for guests to navigate. I used consistent typography, light floral accents, and balanced color to tie everything together. Seeing the designs come to life throughout the space, and watching guests interact with them, was such a rewarding moment.
