Tying the Knot

When I met with bride-to-be Cally about her Save-the-Dates, she knew she wanted something fun for her loved ones to receive in the mail--as she herself is a snail-mail-and-beautiful-paper lover, too--but she also wanted something sophisticated. We came up with the perfect illustration for their upcoming nuptials. Dan is from Vermont, Cally is from California, and they are tying the knot in California.



Coral and white bakers' twine was the perfect material for the metaphor--the stripes give it a fun, whimsy touch. White and coral was foil stamped onto a rich charcoal grey paper (a fitting, sophisticated background).
