Evan & Christina
My friends Evan and Christina asked if I would help them out with their wedding invitations and I ended up going a little overboard. For their invites, I was very inspired by the Mira Calligraphae Monumenta—the look and feel of these pieces of art really capture Christina’s style and the style of the venue they had chosen. I made a typeface which was loosely based on a number of calligraphic scripts featured in MCM and hired illustrator Jason Holley to create a beautiful and moody illustration of Tuberose, a flower that played a part in the couple’s story. One thing that really delighted Christina was the use of trompe l'oeil in a few of the original pieces from MCM, so I had Jason help me simulate the effect with an additional tiny piece of artwork and the design was printed in reverse lightly on the back of the invitation.
