I had so much fun creating this invitation suite.
The bride was using eggplant and mossy greens throughout her wedding and asked me to incorporate these colors into her wedding invitation suite.
It was printed in eggplant on gorgeous Italian paper.
It is difficult to see the true colors of this suite, as I am having some camera issues, but the eggplant ink is truly beautiful. I mixed an ink to address in the same color.
The bride also asked me to illustrate an antique hydrangea for the formal invitation.
After it was printed, I hand-painted each flower. No two were alike ~ ranging from various shades of purple to dark eggplant.
~Have a lovely week ~
Exquisite Dana! Graceful and elegant. I'm in love with your lettering. Those capital Ds are head turners!
ReplyDeleteHa! I wondered onto Carey Harrison's website this morning. His "emblem" as he calls it is also the hydrangea. He's an interesting and unpretentious man: http://midgetinacatsuit.com/default.htm
