I’ve heard of some interesting sources of inspiration, but until today I don’t think I’ve ever heard of someone being inspired by a FedEx form for their wedding invitations!  Priscilla and Daniel worked with Elise from Sweet Penelope to create a vintage-inspired invitation suite with a slight rock n’ roll vibe, all based around a purple and orange color palette – and yes, inspired in part by a FedEx form!
From Elise: Priscilla wanted something vintage, playful, and bold, while using her colors, purple and rusty orange. Â She sent me a link to a FedEx invitation template to show me the direction she had in mind. Â She also wanted to avoid anything frilly or cutesy, so I chose elements like the hissing lion’s head, sunburst, and hot air balloon, that were dynamic and strong. Â Priscilla and Daniel volunteer together at rock concerts, so I tried to capture the spirit of a music festival (without being rock’n’roll specific, as requested by Priscilla) and incorporated the VIP/all access stub in the corner.
I designed each piece differently to avoid being matchy-matchy, but the palette and retro vibe are consistent throughout and help pull the suite together. Â The invitations were digitally printed in my studio on 100% cotton 300 gsm paper.
Thanks Elise!
