INDUSTRY

Wedding / Event Design

SCOPE

Full suite of wedding stationery, signage, and website

Project Overview

Liz and Brett came to me looking for something different—a fresh, bold wedding suite that matched their personalities and set the tone for their laid-back Austin brunch wedding. They wanted color, quirk, and fun, but nothing overly floral or traditionally fancy. The challenge: capture spring vibes and their unique style using a non-traditional palette and abstract visuals.

Objectives

  • Create a full visual suite including save the dates, invites, RSVP cards, signage, and a custom website
  • Use dark blue and bright orange (their favorite colors) as a central theme
  • Incorporate a spring feeling without being overly floral
  • Design a cohesive, playful look that still felt elevated and intentional

Design Approach

The final concept leaned into abstract brushstroke textures and hand-drawn scribbles—an artistic nod to florals without literal flowers. The playful circles added visual energy, while the hand-lettered fonts kept things casual yet personal. Their bold color combo provided strong contrast and visual interest, tying the suite together across print and digital formats.

Deliverables included:

  • Save the Date: 4.25″ x 6″, single-sided, printed on eggshell white stock with marine blue envelopes
  • Main Invitation: 5″ x 7″, single-sided on 2-ply eggshell stock, with custom orange envelope liners
  • RSVP Card: 3.5″ x 5″, single-sided with orange A1 envelopes
  • Pre-Party Card: 3.5″ x 5″, matching design and color scheme
  • Signage: Seating chart (18″ x 24″ foam core mounted), table numbers with cat silhouettes, place cards
  • Photo Booth Print Template: 6″ x 4″ custom frame for printed photos
  • Custom Website: One-page WordPress site (Divi theme) with travel details, event info, and engagement photos

Results & Impact

The couple loved the final design from the get-go—it hit the tone they wanted and felt like an authentic representation of them. The suite received compliments from guests and successfully set the vibe for their casual Austin celebration.

Why This Project Matters

This project showcases how abstract visuals, intentional typography, and strategic color use can create a distinctive and cohesive design system across both print and web. It also highlights my ability to blend personal client tastes with an elevated design sensibility, resulting in a suite that felt fun, functional, and true to the couple.
