- Please
give us a brief history of your business and some of the services you
provide.
We specialize in graphic design and marketing for
hospitality and beverage companies. These types of businesses are our primary
focus as we have a background in event planning and bartending. We provide logo
(brand identity), menu, business cards, event flyer design and more! This
particularly wedding-invitation set was done for a bar consultant colleague and
his fiance.
             Â
- What
was the goal of your design?
The wedding invitations we did for Sarah and Aaron were
meant to capture the spirit of their celebration in San Miguel de Allende,
Mexico. The textures and colors pull directly from the buildings and flowers of
the city. The map on the backside is an abstract representation of the location
and energy of the wedding festivities.
             Â
- Why
did you choose the Standard
Coated papers?
They are a true matte finish with durability and great ink
absorption. Colors are always very vivid and rich!
             Â
- Our
favorite part of your design is the map on the back of the Parade Card. How did
you create that effect for the back of the card?
The map was created from a rough sketch of a city map that
was altered in proportions to include all the wedding festivities. The affects
and textures were created using watercolor and paint brushes in Adobe
Illustrator. The couple asked for special elements such as the bride and groom,
plants and flowers and their two pups. These tiny details made the map feel
truly customized and special.

- We
have never seen a black wedding never seen a black wedding invitation set, and
yet it works beautifully. How did you decide on the color pattern,
including
Matte Gold Foil of the invitation and parade card?
The couple wanted a richness and colorful celebratory mood
to their wedding invitation set. Matte Gold Foil was an absolute must to give
the invitation a little bit of polish. The colors come naturally from the Parroquia
de San Miguel Arcangel cathedral and surrounding architecture of the city of
San Miguel de Allende. The black seemed like a no-brainer that gave this
invitation a rich contrast and helped make it feel more personal, more like
them and less like other wedding invitations you see.

- What
made you choose MorningPrint?
I've used Morning Print for the last 5-6 years. Their paper
quality is the main reason that I love them, plus the ability for metallic
foils and spot
UV. They are absolutely my go to for an affordable and beautiful
business card or flyer.
             Â
- How
was your experience with MorningPrint? Would
you recommend us to others?
My experience was great. I did have some difficulty
uploading larger files to their website (the wedding map file) but was able to
dropbox them to their team, and they added the files to my order.
Yes, I would definitely recommend MorningPrint.
