Kendall and Jeff were married this past summer in amazing Cape Cod. When Kendall and I first started talking about her invites, we knew that we wanted to create something that felt retro and fun. I immediately thought of a vintage travel brochure, like something you might get when planning a family vacation in the 1950’s. You’d fill up the family station wagon, pack a cooler and drive down the dreaded Rte. 3 during the hot summer months for a Cape Cod vacation. This was my inspiration for the project.
Kendall was very excited about the retro idea and wanted to incorporate illustration in the design as well. The colors were inspired by hydrangea flowers, which Kendall used on her wedding day. One of the things I love most about using a brochure for your invite is that it’s concise. Instead of giving your guests several pieces they need to carry with them, you’re giving them one piece with all the necessary information. Brilliant! For the RSVP, we kept with the retro vacation theme and created a post card for the guests to fill out and return. We wanted the design to feel like something you might find at a souvenir shop {only a little more tasteful!} Overall, this suite is fun and light but does a great job at conveying a feeling and aesthetic that would continue through their big day.
