Title

wedding invitation (invitation + save the date card)

Subtitle

Giovanna&Bastiaan

Tagline

Details

We are getting married! We are looking for an original wedding invitation and ‘save the date’ card for our wedding. We see the ‘save the date’ card as a simplification of the more elaborated wedding invitation. We are a Italian-Dutch couple; the wedding ceremony and party will be in our beautiful town Urbino in Italy. The cards should express simple, young, fun and cheerful. This is also what the style of our wedding will be. Not too fancy.

Industry type

Target audience (Corporate, Fun, Personal etc)

Our guests, mostly friends and a few family members

Requirements

There are a few elements that we would like to see on the invitation, that is: 1.We’ve uploaded 3 photo’s that for us tell the story how we’ve met. We would like to see these three photos take a dominant place on the invitation. 2.We would like to express the Dutch part by means of a design of an orange tulip. And the Italian part by means of a design of a yellow sun flower. We like the style of ‘blond-amsterdam’ as an indication. http://www.blond-amsterdam.nl/#/nl/products/groups 3.We would like to express the city where we live and will getting married, Urbino, by a line that line that takes the outer shape of the palace of Urbino with its two distinct towers. http://www.laterrazzadelduca.com/citta.html We are looking for a wedding invitation that is a card that can be opened (front, inner part, back). The save the date card will just be a card with a back and a front. The exact details of our wedding card text and place we don’t know yet, we’ll fill that in later. For now you can use a standard text.

@monostudio, draft #22, Thanks for your modifications! We're very happy with the design. Just a few thing we would like to try - The palace icon in the right inside page is great. Can we change the color to one we've already used, like orange or green? - We were thinking that maybe all the pages green is a bit too much, can you try to see what happens if we make the background of the right inside page white instead of yellow? - just to check: you're sending us the complete photoshop file with all the layers right? So if we later would like to change the text we can do it ourselves, right? Have fun making the last modifications!

@blueblu, draft #19, Thanks for your new draft. We see that you've added some color and made the line illustrating the face of Urbino lighter. Please use the feedback provided to elaborate. Thanks for the hard work.

@nitka, draft #20, Thanks for your new draft. We like what you've did with the sunflower and tulip. The blue-greenish color is not our favourite, it doesn't respond to Holland or Italy for us. Although we like that you've kept the design simple, it's a bit too simple for us. Please use the feedback provided and keep on elaborating.

@monostudio, draft #21 Well done, we really like what you've made! Backside: - the tulip and the sunflower are close to perfect. The only thing we would like to try out is to see what happens if you design the tulip open. Now it's like a blossem. - The ribbon with written Sposi on top we don't like so much, it's too romantic. We do like the leaf and hart in the top left corner. The sunflower and tulip are beautifull enough, we don't think they need the ribbon, etc. Front: - Great what you did with the photos, how you've written Giovanna&Bastiaan and the sunflower/tulip. - Like on the backside, the ribbon we don't like as much. Could you remove the ribbon, the word Sposi and the two little flowers and the little leaf. The bigger flower and bigger leaf in the bottom right corner can stay. Maybe the part below the photo gets too white?? Maybe you could put the hart, birds and rings which are next to the tulip, to the part below the photos?? Inside Left: - We really like what you've did with the photo of Urbino, it looks great. Also how you've put down the details of our masters of ceremony is great. - Do you see a way of showing more the two little towers of the palace (right)? Maybe instead of the cathedral (left). - Also here the ribbon we don't like as much, and also the phrase Our Wedding at Urbino is strange because it's in English. We do agree though that the top right corner needs a little decoration. Maybe you could take away the ribbon, the words and just leave a couple of flowers and leafes?? Inside Right: - In general is great how you've designed it! Great. - The little circles around the tulip and sunflowers, we don't know what they are and seem to us a bit crowed, maybe you can leave them off? - We like what you've did with the shape of the cathedral, but since we're not getting married in a church, maybe you could do the same thing but use the two distinct little towers of the palace? We would also prefer you to leave away the ribbon. Small card: - Great work, just a little busy. Maybe you could leave the white circle, hart, 3 flowers and 2 leafes from the center. And also the circles around the sunflower and tulip.

Gaan Trouwen! 18 Giugno 2011, ore 16:00 Comune di Urbino 18 juni 2011, 16:00uur Dopo la cerimonia facciamo un brindisi al bar ‘il cortegiano’ Na de ceremonie brengen we een toost uit in de bar ‘il cortegiano’ Maybe white letters at a colored background?? Here also some tulips and sunflowers. -Rear page: Bastiaan & Giovanna Via Niccolò Pellipario 9 61029 Urbino (PU) Italia +31 6 1234 1234 / +39 123 123 1234 Giovanna.Bastiaan@dominio.it -inlay page (for the special invites, transparant): Saremo lieti di festeggiare il nostro matrimonio insieme a voi!

@glittermilk, draft #18, We like a lot that you've used the Blond Amsterdam cards as inspiration. - - The tulips and the city of Urbino we really like!! - The sunflowers we don't like as much, they're too big and they are too many. Also the idea of the photos in the sunflowers we don't like as much. Maybe you could try to make a sunflower designed like the tulips. I imagine like a bouquet of tulips and sunflowers. - The letters of the formal text we prefer in a normal font like arial, so lighter and less playfull. We think it could balance nicely the serious card with playfull designs. - We like the idea of a self mailer, but prefer a normal card that opens like a book. With a front, two pages on the inside and a rear. On the front we would like to see 'our story', the middle pages: the left one for Urbino (with maybe the addresses of the masters of ceremony) and right one for the formal text in 2 languages (dutch and Italian). On the back we'd like to put our addresses. - The envelope will probably be a standard size, square envelope. Maybe even transparant/opaque. Thanks for your design, keep on elaborating!

@Monostudio, #15, Thanks for your draft, it looks very professional. - We like the flowers! Although we were looking for something more like a scetch, drawing. - The 3 photos on the front we like. Could you maybe give them just a little bit of color? - The idea of the photo of Urbino is great. What happens if you put the photo on one face of the card full size? - How do you see the information we have to put in the card, where will it come? Thanks, keep on elaborating!

@nikita, draft #12, Although is difficult to see, because the image is rather small, we like a lot the tulip and the sunflower. It seems drawn with the hand, that's the stile we like! Please continue based on the feedback we've posted! Thanks

@Blueblu, draft #1, #2, #3, #6, #7, #8, #9, #13, Thanks for the hard work, you've been very productive. Keep up the good work and keep elaborating. - The 3 photos in the front we like all in the same size, like you did in #13. - The line showing the palace of Urbino is nice. We would like to see more as a line of a pencil, like someone drew it on the card. It may also be smaller, more subtle (sottile), delicate. - The flowers we don't like as much, we're looking more for something less computerish, less perfect, more like a scetch, drawn with the hand. like the card on the following link: http://www.trouwkaarten.nl/trouwkaarten.php?id=14111&naam=DelftsTrouw - We would also like to add more color, for example to have at least one face of the card completely colored. like you did with the 'save the date' card. This could be the part with the text. The text could be white in a colored background. - We are also looking for a more stylish font. something simple like arial, but maybe a little little bit more playful. Is this helpfull? Keep on going! Thanks!

Cara Blueblu, Thank you again for all your work. I love the way you drew the line of Urbino in #2 and #3 and how you elaborated the island in the back of the card in #3. Regarding the front page, would you put our names in the middle of the page with the pictures instead of the world 'sposi'? Bas is asking also if you could try with another font (carattere, I think). Could the flowers be smaller and maybe in the right corner below? All the best, Gio

Thank you Blueblu!! This is cool! We just had an idea for something more simple and clear, with the 3 pictures much smaller in the front page, under our names, to show a linear story. The line could go ahead until the second page, where it could change from a straight line to the shape of the palace. Palace, tulip and sunflower are too worked on, keep it simple! Grazie!!
