24th April 2016, Sadhvi got married to Panchal in Agra. It was the perfect epitome of the big fat Indian wedding! Three months prior to the wedding Sadhvi asked me to design her wedding invites. The only brief was, to make a design in which paper quilling can be incorporated. This paper quilling was to be done by the kids of Blind Persons' Association, Ahmedabad, because Sadhvi wanted their contribution in the project in someway. The invites were planned so that they could be circulated collectively or selectively for each event.
The visual language was developed through watercolour explorations keeping the brief in mind. The selected
watercolour was digitally worked on to achieve colour palettes to suit the theme of each event.
The headers and swashes were hand drawn letters created with a calligraphy fountain pen and ink on paper.
The collective set of the invites consisted of - the main card (folded a4) [ The inside pages of this listed all the important
information about dates, directions and contact numbers ] - the Sangeet invite (a5)
- the Cocktail Party invite (a5)
- the Wedding Function invite (a5)
The entire set was printed and box enveloped in textured watercolour paper.
thank you!
