Rustic Wedding Stationery Design

The Brief

The Client

Dawn and Dave Benham

The Solution

Rustic Wedding Invitation Design

Dawn wanted to use a vintage/rustic theme for her wedding invitations, incorporating lace, string and neutral colours.

This was a hand-crafted set of stationery using a layering effect.

To design the invitations themselves, I wanted to keep them purely typographical.

A script font was used for the names and a modern-looking serif font for the information.

The invitation was printed onto textured brown paper. Next, lace was applied to the top, with a string bow tied across the lace. It then adhered to a cream backing card. Each one was individually crafted.

Insert Design

Dawn wanted to include an RSVP insert and a poem about not wanting gifts from the guests.

I designed these to be hand-crafted in the same way as the invitations, but just in a smaller size.

Rustic Wedding Stationery Suite

Dawn also needed an order of service booklet, table names, place names and a seating chart to be designed.

To keep the theme going across the whole suite, every item was created in the same manner as the invitations, using the hand-crafted layering process.

It was time-consuming but the overall effect was well worth the effort!

The table names were based on the groom’s love of biscuits, and each table was a biscuit type!

The wedding was held at Croyde Bay Holiday Resort, a coastal venue that lent itself to some beautiful photos of the bride and groom on the beach.
