Coral & Mint Makes me Think of Summer

Sometime in December last year, a girl named Precious messaged me and asked me to create a wedding e-invite for them. “Wedding e-invite”, is of course just a word I use to describe what they wanted: they already have wedding invitations, but they want something different to share on Facebook and Instagram.

My giddy heart leaped in its cage when she described the specs: coral, mint, summer, flowers and loads of prettiness. I pinned some pegs for color inspiration, which is one of my favorite parts of doing design work.

Not really knowing Precious and Kristoffer, I had to imagine how to put their personalities in the designs, based on what I knew about the wedding: their color choices (coral and mint), the venue (Tagaytay makes me think of nature and skies), and their theme (summer!). 

So I gave them two very different design studies:

Can you tell how much I enjoyed doing this project? :)

Precious loved both (she went ahead and shared on IG the first design too), but preferred the second design to make into a complete wedding invitation set. This is the final product:

 

This wasn’t really meant for printing, so the contrast of the bright colors on dark grey looked pretty on computer screens and mobile. But if this was meant for printing, I probably made the background a lighter color.

In the end, it didn’t feel like work. Design projects make me happy, and I was just thankful that Precious approached me (she said she’s been reading my blog for a while) and allowed me to be a teeny weeny part of their special day.
