Colleen & Tom
Colleen and Tom wanted a blend of classic wedding invitations and some warm, personal touches. We landed on a combination of hand-drawn type and a clean, all-caps sans serif. We brought in the warmth with a hand-drawn map and programs featuring illustrations, incorporating navy as a primary wedding color. The invites were printed on navy paper, with the “Colleen & Tom” debossed in gold foil.
Save the Dates
Before we got to work on the invitations, we created their Save the Dates, incorporating photography and hand lettering.
Invitations
The invitations relied on simple lettering of their names along with a clean typeface pairing on a navy matte paper. The “Colleen & Tom” was embossed in gold foil for the final prints.
Custom illustrated map
For an additional personal touch, we developed a map of Minneapolis that would highlight some of the key locations from the wedding weekend as well as some landmarks to help out-of-town guests orient themselves.
Programs
For the short-and-sweet ceremony programs, Colleen didn’t want too much detail, so we opted for pairings of illustrations and lettering for each of the ceremony phases: Music starts, We get married, Everyone parties. Other illustration details included a Minneapolis skyline detail and another lettered Colleen & Tom.
