I wanted to design an invitation that was obviously art deco inspired, but not stereotypical. The colour palette? Palest baby pink and golden mustard yellow. Sweet, sophisticated and just a little bit unusual.
The motif for this design was created by disassembling an art deco-style stained glass border and creating individual elements out of it, which I then scattered throughout the right side of the paper. The type makes obvious references to that aesthetic, but is toned down a bit by limiting the use of the distinctive uppercase to the couple’s names.
The RSVP card picks up some of the main motifs and reverses the colours. The use of the sweet accent script also adds a subtle decorative touch. In the right panel of the image is a close-up that shows off the dainty details of the type.
The same elements lend themselves to a simple yet stylish envelope treatment.
The result? A whimsical, playful suite with classic art deco touches — perfect for a minimalist, chic event.
