6TH JULY 2018 // GOZO, MALTA
WHAT A WEDDING!!
Aoife & Gerard got married on the beautiful island of Gozo in Malta in July of 2018. Having such a fondness for the island, they wanted their love of travel to be a main focus of their big day and I was only happy to help!
DESIGN
Together, we came up with a palette of blues (tying in the bridal party colours) along with neutrals for balance. With the couple being keen scuba divers, I had to include a small illustration of a couple of loved up swimmers beside a custom map of the island of Gozo. This became their emblem and was carried throughout all of their stationery designs.
INVITATIONS
For their Save the Dates we designed them to resemble small luggage tags as keepsakes for the recipients. The theme then continued to their invitations where we designed a full travel suite, including a custom passport invitation, boarding pass RSVP and royal blue envelopes lined with vintage map paper (which just so happened to include Gozo in the middle!). The inside of the “Passport” included fun details all about their upcoming nuptials and gorgeous photographs of the happy couple from their engagement photoshoot. I paid close attention to detail, trying to mimic the style of a real passport and boarding pass including map backgrounds and “stamps” throughout to give the suite a fun and quirky feel!
ON THE DAY & BEYOND
For their “On the Day” stationery, they wanted a “Where in the world?” themed seating plan, with each table representing a place they had been together over the years. This was designed as a selection of “postcards” to be mounted, with the couple providing personal photographs of the special memories they had shared and experienced there.
This was continued to their table name cards, each detailing a story about the town named and why it was so special to them. Their place cards were origami planes with each guest’s name printed along with an A+G monogram to keep in theme with the other pieces. Alongside their traditional “On the Day” items, I also had the pleasure of designing them a cover to wrap around custom mixed CD’s they were giving as favours, including their scuba divers emblem and a lovely poem for their friends and families. Earlier this year I also designed their thank you cards as little A6 postcards that showcased a selection of their stunning photos from what looked like a truly awesome wedding day!

I wish Aoife & Gerard the happiest of lives together and want to thank them from the bottom of my heart for including me in their special day! I loved every piece I created for you and hope that they represent some very special memories for you in years to come!
