Post #3: Wedding Invitation



This is a wedding invitation I found online while looking for ideas. The invitation's purpose is to formally announce the union of two individuals as well as usually inviting the guests to witness the event. Letting them know date, time and any other pertinent information. The style of the design is very relaxed and comfortable. The invitation is geared towards a tropical or beach type wedding so the style really evokes that. The typography fits very well into the theme. The mix of the italic and the script, to make the individuals names stand out, works very well together in the overall theme. The work has a good degree of quality to it, done by someone who has studied the elements of design. I was attracted to the piece because of the warm and casual feel to it. The same feeling you get when you think of the beach.

Yes, I'd expect this wedding to be casual and beachy. Great use of negative space, the way the flowers merge with the deckle edge.
