one invitation, two languages

when i was working at the custom correspondence shop in chicago i came across two invitations written in two languages. i know it sounds silly, but ever since i have always wanted a client who would ask me to do just that. so when i was following the links (i started at elizabeth anne designs and wound up at steeves photography blog) and i found this image i got so excited. the choice of fonts keeps the design simple in a text heavy invite, which is always tricky. and really what a beautiful way for the bride (jamaican) and the groom (italian) to incorporate their backgrounds into their paper goods.

i would suggest taking a look at the rest of the photos from this event, i am currently obsessing over the tulle at the hem of the brides dress.

ps the wedding was in venice.
