subway sweethearts - louisa and adam

Louisa and Adam really like subway maps (and who could blame them?). In fact, they own a collection of them that Louisa gave Adam for Christmas last year. Inspired by the graphic elements commonly used in subway maps, they asked us to design for them a truly unique and personal wedding invitation.

a weekend event - erin and david

This past winter we customized our Teresa wedding invitation for Erin and David to use as a save the date announcing their weekend long wedding celebration in central New York state. They chose to continue on the same theme once it became time to work on the rest of their wedding stationery, and we put together a color scheme of reds and oranges to be used interchangeably throughout the series.

These images include their invitation, rsvp, and information cards. As well as the images of the digital files for their table numbers, escort cards, and program covers, which they printed themselves. Congrats to you two again! I'm glad to hear the weekend (and weather) was fabulous!
