My wedding is less than 10 days away and as you’d expect I’ve been running around trying to get everything organized, including our wedding announcement design. Since I began working at Turtle Love Co. I’ve seen more than my fair share of gorgeous designs for wedding invitations and announcements and that in some ways has been a bit of a creative block for me because when everything looks appealing it’s next to impossible to narrow it all down and choose the elements I want to use. What I ended up doing was using none of the things I had seen before and instead built the announcement around this drawing that I made using my fiance Joel’s Wacom tablet:
Aubin and Joel’s wedding announcement drawing (by Aubin)
I love the simple, caricature look of this drawing. Although I misrepresented our heights (in the real world he’s about half a foot taller than I am if not more) our personalities are captured perfectly! For two people who are pretty cartoon-like I think it fits much better than any more polished design I could have created.
