Curious about the inner workings of how I create a wedding invitation? Since I never posted what I made for Ashley and Jeff, enjoy this little snapshot of the design process, and the crowning jewel, their invitations!

They were good clients. They picked out a color palette, (peacock blue and chartreuse) and wanted to embrace the theme of subways and New York City (Jeff loves mass transit, and Ashley thinks it has its merits), and they had a good concept of what they liked and didn't like.
