vintage classic with a modern twist
INVITATION FOLIO
This morning, I finally got to see the tasty photos of the wedding invitations I had designed for Danielle and Brian McAllister’s Cape May spring wedding. The wedding took place at Congress Hall in the little victorian town of Cape May, on the South Jersey Shore.
DANIELLE + BRIAN
The bride, who was also a good friend from back in the ROXY days, requested a “vintage classic design with a modern twist.” It was sort of a Great Gatsby affair. The hand picked wedding invitation colors were shades of bright yellow, tiffany blue, kelly green and bright red.
TABLE NAME CARDS
The overall design complimented the Grand Ballroom’s 1920’s theme, black and white checkerboard floors and Tiffany blue walls. Every single detail was considered from the venue’s bright yellow exterior, to the black
THE GRAND BALLROOM
chandeliers hanging inside the Grand Ballroom. Even the subtle details from the tiny polka dots on the bride’s dress to the yellow and white stripes found outside on the beachfront cabanas found their way onto the invitation package.
ENTOURAGE CARDS
The bride is from the Jersey shore and the groom is from the California coast, so rather than using simple table numbers, it made sense to use the names of the beach towns from both coasts. With the venue on the opposite coast from where I live, it became a team effort to get these invitations just right. The bride made several trips to the venue and had taken photos for inspiration and detail. More invitation details can be found on my website. Photos: Tom Gooch.
