Travel Themed Wedding
Leigh-Anne & Christopher’s wedding has been one of the favourites at our studio! This lovely couple had such fun with their themed wedding and it created a fantastic festive ambiance.
Our designs for this wedding included a Digital Save-the-date with an online RSVP form whereby guests could update their dietary requirements and view accommodation options. The wedding invitation simulated a travel ticket, with a tear-off functionality and a Custom illustrated map.
This couple had travelled extensively and we incorporated this idea into the seating plan. We used the abbreviations of the airports that they had traveled through, as the table numbers, which we indicated by silk-screening them onto lampshades, which were suspended over the tables (Credit to Something Different Lighting). Table seating tags indicated the “destination” which related to the hanging table number.
Menu’s were folded cards which were placed in double sided custom envelopes, addresses to each guest. These contained a thank-you note and had a beautiful ribbon detail.
For the additional stationery we created paper confetti cones with a map of the London Underground, “Wish you were here” postcards which guests could fill in and “post” in the inbox section of an open vintage suitcase. We created white laser cut signages stating “ Enjoy the Journey”, Coffee Bars, etc.
The order of ceremony translated into a travel passport, which had gorgeous vintage map details printed inside.
The candy bar Had a mini airplane with hanging canvas signage indicating it being the dessert table. Zoo cookies had printed icing with our artwork. Even the wedding cake (Wades Cakes) contained some of our artwork. The silver mirror cake topper which had Chris and Leigh-Annes Initials, but “CL” also doubles up as the abbreviation for number plates for Stellenbosch, where the couple had been married (Molenvliet Wine Estate).
