The lovely couple in question are Galway-based so I was able to meet them but the process is usually by email! Aine had a pretty firm idea of what she wanted, having researched wedding invitation art on Pinterest. She loved the idea of drawings for the wedding invites, but wanted to up the fun factor with a caricature. They had discussed formats with a printer when I met them but to give them extra flexibility we decided I would give them individual image files for all the elements they wanted included in the wedding invitations. This would make it easier for the printer to move them around before going to print, rather than having one image file where all the elements were already set in place.

The couple had an idea for a circular floral border around their caricatures, and you can see how I incorporated that above. They would add the text with the printer so text elements like the date and venue of the wedding were left out at this stage. Aine and Mossy showed me the places they wanted drawings of for their invitations, including the church they were to be married in and a local pub that was going to be a focal point of the wedding celebrations!

This cartoon banner held aloft by birds either side would eventually have the date of their wedding on it, but was left blank at this stage, again to add flexibility before finalising text, fonts, size and colour with the printer.

The oak tree was a final flourish for the wedding invitations and would serve as an aesthetic element to finish off the invites.

Aine left me a lovely review on my Google business page:

Allan did an amazing job on the artwork for our wedding invitations. Very professional and lovely to deal with! I would highly recommend!
