Rachel and Rob asked me to help tell their ‘story’ through their wedding invitations as well as their on-the-day stationery and signage. They knew they wanted bikes to feature strongly in their special day having met at their local cycling club. Their invitations were 2-colour letterpress printed with ink, envelopes and calligraphy that mirrored the colours of the bridesmaids’ dresses and fonts that suited the couple’s relaxed and fun loving nature. As well as featuring two racing bikes, the design that I created for them also included a tiny robin, symbolising an absent loved one. Adding fine details with hidden meanings that only you and your inner circle will understand, can help you to create something that’s beautiful, unique and personal. As the theme evolved, we applied the design from the invitations throughout the ‘on-the-day stationery’ including on a guest book and a guest fingerprint ‘keepsake’ picture. As Rachel and Rob had acquired several bikes to use as props, the theme developed and we ended up displaying the table plan on a full sized penny farthing, collecting cards from the guests on a postal bike and having a rickshaw with “just married” tin cans as a photo booth.
