In the Press: Bride and Bloom Fresh Inspiration


Bride and Bloom also approached me to create an invitation that was inspired by Picasso. I also got to choose the painting that it was to be used for inspiration!

I chose Dora Maar au Chat painted by Picasso in 1941. Picasso had a decade long affair with Dora Maar and I was so enchanted with all of the paintings that he did of her during this time. Image Source – wikipedia.com

The concept for this invitation took weeks to come to me. I only had one week before the deadline and I still didn’t have anything that was “it”. I had the thought to have an invitation printed as an art canvas, and that led me to the final design. I hand painted small art canvases and then had the invitation screen printed onto the canvas.

My next step was to design the RSVP postcard. I wanted it to be unique as well. I had the idea that I would send a paintbrush and a pot of paint with each invitation. I also designed the custom Picasso like stamps.

I made custom labels for the paint jar and put a monogram on the lid.

The guest is asked to paint or draw their own masterpiece on the rsvp!
