french themed wedding stationery

A few months ago, I was asked by a friend to design their wedding stationery for their Big Day in the South of France this summer. I was delighted to say yes! The theme of the wedding is 'garden vintage', and the colour scheme is lots of nude & blush mixed with natural tones. I took this colour scheme across the whole stationery suite - invitations, guest information cards, menus, table names and order of service. To tie everything together, I also created a monogram for the couple which features on the front of all the stationery items, which are printed on Conqueror contour 350gsm stock. In keeping with the garden vintage theme, the monogram features intertwined leaves and a little bird, with watercolour illustrations of the Bride's flowers (peonies and roses) dotted amongst the text on the reverse.

The bride-to-be also wanted to incorporate an illustration of the wedding venue into the stationery, so I created a pencil & watercolour sketch of the beautiful 18th century country manor house. Because many of the guests will be travelling from the UK to France, I also created a map of the area with directions in the dusky pink colour that formed part of the colour scheme.
