"G" IS FOR GRAPHICS

Graphics have become an increasingly popular element in wedding invitations. As a professional graphic designer I compare this iconic graphic to an event logo and use it to brand the entire wedding. First we introduce your wedding graphic on the save the date cards, then invitations and onto the wedding day stationery including: programs, place cards, table tents, menus and thank yous.

The graphic below is a stock illustration of tree branches I used for an outdoor fall wedding. It was a booklet style invitation and bound together using a twig. I applied the graphic as a subtle watermark on the inside vellum page, smaller with a quote adjacent to the invitation page, and then as a border on the RSVP and Travel Accommodations cards. Love it!

The next graphic was inspired by the destination venue itself, the St. Stanislaus Church in Altos de Chavon, La Romana (Dominican Republic). Pictured below is the church and graphic I designed to match... now that's what I call an original! Your thoughts on my interpretation?

Last but not least, a monogram (graphic) inspired by a whimsical stock illustration chosen by the bridal couple. I used a classy font with elegant flourishes and added dots for an original and complimentary monogram!
