Weddings are a momentous occasion and closely associated with all things romantic, but often, the wedding invite ends up feeling slightly cliché or even corny when couples think that there is a direct design medium through which to express love. People always think love has a colour, a typeface, perhaps a tied bow and maybe a few heart icons scattered around the invite, just in case people don’t get the idea.

To me, this invite expresses love in a subtle, elegant and romantic manner so that you feel as though you’re almost part of the couples love story. The invite boasts a contemporary and elegant use of script type that is not overwhelming.

The colour palette of blush pink and grey is soft and sophisticated, which conveys the overall romantic feel of the invite; coupled with the protea illustrations, which add a natural, floral aspect to the invite. Another aspect of the invite that makes it a memorable one is the extra information card with the couples photograph on it; it matches the set perfectly in terms of expression and style but also in the similar colour and tones of the protea illustration.

To me, less is always more, and this invite showcases that principle perfectly, without the standard wedding clichés that we are so used to.

We have decided to take things up a notch with this mood board inspired by grey & white. Therefor we combined this beautiful, intricate charcoal grey laser cut pocket with a simplistic A5 insert card, digitally printed in charcoal text.

We will let the photos of this exquisite invite do the rest of the talking…
