Design House of Moira | Victoria Rothwell — *Aubrey & Adam*

Courchevel, France

Aubrey and Adam were married at a gorgeous chalet in Courchevel, France and came to us with some specific ideas in mind. They wanted to incorporate ochre into the design, but dit not want the overall look and feel to be summery and cheerful, but moody and modern. They came to us specifically because of our use of original artwork and lettering designed for each client. As with all our clients, we began the process with a sketch, detailing out our overall ideas for their suite, mixing media and multiple styles of artwork.

We love beginning with a sketch for several reasons:

It helps a client envision the overall look and feel by putting thoughts onto visual mediums
It allows the client to visualize how we see the art moving from one piece to another throughout the suite. We rarely do pieces that all match exactly, but vary the art across multiple elements of the invitation suite.
It creates a point from which we can create and generate all the artwork. As artists and creators, we avoid redoing repetitious work, which consumes a massive amount of time and energy. We want to create your artwork once and do it correctly the first time, rather than missing the mark. This is where the sketch comes in.
We can make adjustments to the art while the art is still theoretical to allow for more time during the proofing rounds and on assembly details.

It was our pleasure to create this simple, moody suite for Kristen and Sean's wedding at Areias Do Seixo in A Dos Cunhados, Portugal. Evoke did an absolutely gorgeous job designing the intimate wedding and Kristen's beautiful pale blue gown was a perfect fit for their destination wedding.

Here are some more lovely shots from Nicole and Matt's gorgeous stable wedding! See the whole feature on Style Me Pretty here!

Nicoles invitations and save the dates were all hand marbled on thick cotton paper then printed in copper foil. Her invitation had both marbled details as well as the pales of blush washes. Each invitation suite was tied together with hand frayed navy silk ribbon, tucked inside a marble lined pale grey envelope and sealed with a custom wax seal. All her menus featured the same pale blush wash and their wax seal at the top of each menu. Each guests' place card was a hexagon on the same hand marbled paper, daintily tied onto a copper mug. The rest of the reception details featured lots of carrera marble, such as the marble hexagon table numbers with copper lettering.

Real Wedding | Jess & Robert

One of my favorite projects last year was creating these gorgeous French blue invitations for Jess and Roberts wedding. We incorporated the same pale shade of blue throughout her wedding stationery. Her invitations were large in size, using a marquis envelope in 7x7 square. Each invitation was hand watercolored with foil printing in pale gold and paired with white cotton cards with French blue printing. Each suite was tucked into it's envelope and sealed shut with a large seal bearing the couples artwork and crest.
