A little bit about the invitations:
I had the absolute joy of creating the custom wedding invitations for Stephanie and Raymond’s Central Park Zoo Wedding. They wanted a design that captured the spirit of the city and the adorableness of the zoo’s sea lions in an upscale way. I illustrated a custom wedding monogram for them, featuring skyscrapers and the perfect pair of sea lions, which we then used on their dance floor, welcome sign, and custom cocktail napkins. The custom invitation suite was letterpress printed for a super-luxe start to the wedding day. The wedding suite was tied with a silk ribbon and sealed with a wax seal custom-made to match the invitation’s ink color.
Guests’ names were written in calligraphy and tied to painted animals. Each table number featured an original animal illustration and the table number so that guests could easily find their seats. From the cocktail napkins to the bar signage, every wedding day detail took inspiration for their custom invitation and monogram!
