For their wedding stationery, Katrina and John envisioned something modern and minimalist, yet still soft, with an emphasis on their wedding venue in Southern Italy. The couple worked with our dear friend Carolyn from Just Paper and Tea to create the perfect Mediterranean wedding invitations.

Our Kailua design was a great starting point. Instead of the seaside scene of the inspiration design, the couple opted to showcase imagery of the venue, Masseria Le Torri in Polignano a Mare. It blends clean contemporary design with organic, Old World texture. The look is effortless but still very much intentional. The monochromatic ink choice of our vine letterpress over clover digital gives it cohesion and calm. The color palette also evokes the coastal landscape and olive trees that dot the region.

The layout plays with scale and adds depth. Bold, large-format names in all uppercase create a presence and structure. In contrast to the delicate body text, for visual drama. The same font appears throughout for simplicity and consistency.

The events and details cards maintain the same look. Instead, both cards feature an illustration of a prickly pear cactus, which also grows in the area. The envelope liner features the same illustration. It leans coastal Mediterranean, which keeps the look modern and location-driven.
