Michelle & John were married Saint Bridget's Church in Philadelphia, and had their holiday inspired celebration at The William Penn Inn just before Christmas. We are always happy to collaborate with our clients and incorporate their own artwork into their invitations. Michelle, a lawyer, moonlights as an amateur, but fabulously talented illustrator and letterer. We used her drawing of The William Penn Inn on the reception card and her hand lettering of her and John's names on the main invitation!

One challenge when creating a holiday themed wedding suite is making it look festive and seasonal without making it look like a Christmas card. The best way to do that is to use shades of greens and reds that are less expected like our use of a dusty rose envelope, sage green and plum, with only minimal use of forest green and bright red.
