Wedding Invitations : Carmela & George

Believe it or not, Carmela is one of my early clients. I first discussed designing her invitations in February of this year! She asked me in February for her December wedding! In the interim months, Carmela and I have become friends. Also over the course of several months, she has forwarded a multitude of ideas for invitations. This particular suite was a collaboration between Carmela and myself. She is definitely a bride who has a specific look and feel for her wedding.

In the end, I used these items as sources of inspiration for Carmela & George's invitations.

Wedding Invitations from Smock Paper


The no-longer-in-print Blueprint Magazine

Pattern from Carmela's Centerpiece Stand


Fabric I discovered in the Fashion District

All of these items combined to produce this.....

Carmela made the labels and boxed each invitation


The pocketfold is comprised of printed duplex linen cardstock.
I hand-assembled all 140 pocketfolds!


The Main Invitation


View of Pocketfold Interior


Direction Card


Bridal Party Card, which is traditionally found in Filipino invitations


Reception Card


RSVP card and matching envelope

In the end, Carmela and I had a great time collaborating on this suite. I hope her guests will be as excited about them as I am.
