Henna-Inspired Floral Wedding Invitations

Posted on 04:20 by Unknown

This is a custom wedding invitation I worked on for a couple getting married in California this fall; the bride is Indian and her fiance is not, so she wanted something Indian-inspired without being too literal. I went with a burnt orange color palette to reflect the fall wedding as well as the Indian inspiration, with a bold floral border on the invitation and the envelope liner.

The border was inspired by the florals used in henna, with the small lines and details that are seen in henna designs. The whole thing was then tied together with a bright red ribbon to add one more pop of color to the invitation suite. Perfect for a fall wedding!

Wedding Sketches

Working on some sketches for a custom wedding invitation this week; I love the way the second flower came out so much I'm thinking of turning it into a block print.

When I work on custom designs or non-block-prints, I usually draw them out by hand and play with pens and sharpies to get the design right, then scan it in and adjust in Photoshop. The corner drawing below is for an envelope liner like this one; I think it's going to look beautiful!
