i had so much fun working with this couple! we met at the buffalo small press book fair and i knew i would enjoy working on a handmade design for them. sara and phone sent me tons of inspiration photos they had gathered for their wedding day. plus including the obvious influence of their venue, the botanical gardens, i was able to gather a sense of the style they were looking for in their wedding invitations. combining hand drawn branches with a few wildflowers and their wonderful color palette we were able to come up with something unique and fitting for the type of event they are having.

i realized as i was photographing some invitations i have coming up for this year that i never got to posting a few from last year’s wedding season. below is a bold and modern seal and send, custom designed for local clients in buffalo, new york. seal and sends are a great eco-friendly way to send out wedding invitations. they are all in one, no envelopes needed. i have them printed digitally which is non-toxic and there is of course always the option to have them printed on 100% PCW paper.
