Two of my good friends got married last March. They also bought a house and I had been meaning to get a housewarming gift for them. I developed this piece of typography for them, taking the line from the poem I read at their wedding - "Most like an Arch" by John Ciardi. Pictured here is the final piece (unframed - just a screenshot) and some of the sketches leading up to it (phone photos, not the best quality ever!). Great day and two great people!
I recently finished these wedding invitations for friends of ours, Dan and Carola. I'm really pleased with how they turned out, they wanted to channel the Great Gatsby buzz that's around at the moment. Can't wait for the wedding!
So we got married on June 23rd this year, wohoo!!! It was really busy leading up to the wedding (hence how quite i've been on the blog). It was such a great day!! I posted a bit about the various crafty things I was doing coming up to the wedding. I worked with our amazing florist, Jill Wild to develop the style for the day. I based all the graphic elements on a beautiful invite illustration done for us by our good friend (and deadly comic book artist) Will Sliney .
Here are a few pics from the day, our photographers were also friends; Shane Cronin, Dawn Sheehan and Tanja Warkentin. There are so many other details that we never got a photo of, like the lovely seating plan created by Jill with place cards I designed based on Will's illustration. My hair and make up was by Picasso (can't recommend them enough) and I got my dress in Say I Do. I'd love to do re-live it all again!
I'm getting married to Noel on June 23rd this year (aah!). It's getting close & i'm quite excited and nervous!
We sent out our invites just last week, my good friend Will Sliney did the majorly cute illustration as a wedding present, they took AGES to make but i'm happy I did it! I've included a few pictures here.
I'm also making wedding favours with my awesome badge machine, based on Will's graphic (pic above).
Exciting times!
