When I got engaged, I knew I had to design my wedding invitation suite. I wanted it to represent and embody us as a couple, so every step of the process was handcrafted. My husband and I designed the lettering for our names and I rendered it in Illustrator. I created the leaf motifs by foraging leaves from my yard, inking and stamping them, and finally—digitizing! Once they were ready for print, we tore each one by hand, resulting in a beautiful raw edge! They were wrapped together and twine and neatly tucked inside a craft paper envelope.
