Mirna + Gian: Indian Lotus and Palm Leaf Invitations

Mirna and Gian are my first couple from Southern Asia to ask me to design their invitations suite. They didn’t want the typical Indian style invitations, but wanted something that reflected their culture, but with their New York style. Mirna suggested a large palm leaf for the motif and her amazing colors of magenta and green were perfect for this pocketfold suite.

The pocketfolds were wrapped with a wide piece of gorgeous magenta ribbon and a sash with the guest’s names

Another design element is the very stylized lotus flower that went from the reception card onto the rsvp postcard. Custom stamps were designed to complete the magenta swirls.

The reception card also contained travel information and an invitation to their farewell brunch.

The envelopes have another custom monogram stamp and were machine printed with the addresses.

On the back of the envelopes, Mirna wanted a line from their wedding song Signed . Sealed . Delivered.

    We were proud recipients of this invitation and it is EXQUISITE. As I told Mirna, I almost couldn't bring myself to mail in the RSVP and disrupt the suite. I showed it to everyone I know before mailing it back.
