Brief: Designing a Persian art inspired wedding suite, including mood boards for all of the events, Save the Dates, an Invitation Card, insert cards for individual wedding functions, Menu cards, backdrops, and tags for various gifts. Additionally, I created the wood-burned plaques that were given as gifts to senior members of the family, as well as designed and worked with a company to create the bookmarks that were given as wedding favors to the attendees.
Process: I began by researching Persian art, as well as Indian Mughal era monuments and art for inspiration. After gathering that, I started the initial sketches for the Save the Date cards, which ended up being the template for the illustrations for all of the function cards. For the Invitation, I took inspiration from the windows of Indian palaces as well as Mughal buildings, which was particularly apt for a South-Asian origin Muslim couple. This tied in both their culture as well as their religion, which made the invites feel more authentic and personable.
As their timeline became more solidified, as well as their venues, I started on mood boards for all of their events. These would go on to match the invitation cards for each individual function, the color-way of which were secret hints to the colors the bride was wearing to each event, which matched the theme for each day. Event 1 was a small at home affair, while Event 2 was garden party with a whimsical fair, perfectly matched with the event’s time of year, spring in New York. Event 3 was British inspired, with trailing vines and beautiful purple wisteria, with menu cards and decor to match. Event 4 was by far that of the largest scale, with a fuchsia color scheme to match, heavily inspired by Mughal ceremonies. Rounding things off was Event 5, again a small family event to bring the jam-packed wedding weekend to a close.
