Festival Wedding Invites

Festival Wedding Invites – 2013 is well underway and here is the first set of festival themed wedding invites I have produced this year. These festival wedding invites are in a festival ticket style like some of the ones I produced last year and this is the first of many I am working on at the moment. These concert ticket style wedding invitations are for a couple who I previously designed festival themed save the date cards for late last year and this WEDFEST 2013 theme is now carried through to their wedding invitations. The couple loved the idea of the festival ticket wedding invitations idea and after I had worked on the save the date cards the artwork lent itself perfectly to these ticket designs.

festival wedding invitations

The invitations are split into two, one set for day guests and a further set of invitations for evening only guests, or after party guests as the tickets say. These invitations turned out amazing and look even better in real life. The ticket stub doubles as the RSVP card so the guests can tear it off easily as the edge is perforated and then simply send back the RSVP via the details provided.

For the wedding day invitation I used the images of grass, sky and trees that you might see on a regular festival poster and then for the evening invitations or after party invites I used imagery of a festival crowd and bright pinks and yellows which gives the feel of a party atmosphere.

Like I said these festival wedding invites are the first that I have worked on this year and as festival theme weddings have become more and more popular I will be doing many, many more of these this year… Keep an eye on my blog in the coming days and weeks to see some of the new designs I have created for festival weddings in 2013!

Cinema Poster Wedding Seating Plan

Cinema Poster Wedding Seating Plan - Happy New Year Everyone! where did 2012 go? It will be missed!! However onwards with 2013 we must go! But before we kick straight into the new year here is a wedding table plan I designed for a couple who got married over Christmas. The seating plan is based on a Cinema poster as they wanted a Movie themed wedding. This one turned out pretty cool, it has the cinema in the background with the couples names on the cinema screen and then has a lost of actors who are starring in the ‘made up’ movie, these actors and actresses are the table names for the wedding. Underneath each of the actor and actresses names is the list of guests that will be sitting at that table. I am looking forward to working on lots of new wedding table plan designs this year who knows what is around the corner!!

Elegant Vintage Festival Poster Wedding Table Plan

This wedding table plan is for a couple who got married… today as it goes… they wanted a festival style table plan but with a more elegant look and wanted it to tie in with their colour scheme of black and pink. The result can be seen below.. I tried using some elegant and classy typefaces coupled with a vintage rustic background to combine the feel of a vintage festival poster. I think it turned our really cool, it looked really classy before adding the rustic effect but that gave it alot of character and achieved the result I was looking for. The couple named their tables after their favourite bands and these lists acted as the festival bands line up on the poster… for more wedding table plan ideas click here or to get in touch about getting a wedding seating plan designed please click here..

West Highland Way Trail – Scottish themed Wedding Menu

This is a wedding menu I designed a few months ago and totally forgot about until someone inquired about something similar. The wedding was in Scotland and I had previously created a Scottish themed wedding table plan for the couple and then they wanted their wedding dinner menus to have a quirky design also, so they came up with the idea of a Scottish walking trail. after some research I discovered the west highland way trail which covers a large part of the country side including popular spots such as Loch Lomond, Ben Nevis, Fort William and other parts of the Scottish Highlands from Milngavie just north of Glasgow to Fort William. So anyway I used this route as the layout for the days events including dinner, drinks, dancing, and other parts of the wedding… It turned out pretty cool as you can see below…

Wedding Festival Lanyards

This current set of wedding stationery that I have been working on for Kelly & Brian has been a dream. The 2 soon to be newly weds have went all out for their festival themed wedding. As I mentioned on previous posts the guys were originally meant to get married in the summer which would have been WEDFEST, but they had to put the wedding back to winter and so Winter Wedfest is the theme. On previous posts I showed examples of the festival ticket wedding invitations I designed for them and I also am working on a festival themed wedding table plan and table cards as well as some other bits and pieces but this is my favourite part of the whole thing…

They asked me to create wedding festival lanyards that the guests would be given on the day of the wedding with all the information of the wedding on it just like you would get at a real festival. Included on the festival wedding programme lanyards are the running times of the day, dinner times, band and music times, menus for dinner and evening food, a venue map to show people where everything is and other fun stuff.

These wedding festival lanyards turned out amazing and will look fantastic on the day of the wedding especially when everyone is wearing them and dancing around at night, it will really add to the festival theme of the wedding. Check out the photos below which I took on a rare sunny moment these days as its about -1 degrees outside at the moment, i laid them down in the grass and they wouldn’t look out of place at any festival! if you would like to enquire about something similar for your wedding please click here to get in touch…

Wedding Festival Save The Date Cards

Festival save the date cards – These WEDFEST festival themed save the date wedding cards are a set I designed for a couple of festival lovers called Jessica & Paul. Jessica got in touch with me after seeing some of my previous festival themed wedding stationery and in particular the festival ticket wedding invitations I had created.

Looking for something similar Jessica gave me a run down of what kind of thing she wanted and I set to work… the first part of her festival themed wedding stationery is the festival save the date cards. I designed these cards to look like flyers announcing the initial wedding details, much like you might see when a music festival announce its dates and main headliner months before the rest of the line up is announced. For these save the date cards I designed them in a really grungey style, which will be carried out through the rest of the stationery using the WEDFEST 2013 logo throughout… I have already designed the invites which are done like festival tickets and they look even better than the save the date cards but for now this is all I can show you… stay tuned for more awesome festival themed wedding stationery…

Festival Themed Wedding Invitations

Following on from the festival ticket wedding invitations I recently designed this is a set of festival themed wedding invitations designed in the style of a festival concert poster. Drawing inspiration from some of the festival style table plans I have worked on this couple Rikki & Simon wanted their wedding day plans laid out in a festival line up format. Using the term Wedfest 2013 as the name of the event the headline acts on the poster / invitation are the bride and groom and then the days events are broken down into the support slots. This is a really fun wedding stationery, the colours are really vibrant and really sets the wedding up to be a really fun day.

For the evening invitations I kept the same design but with some slight changes. The evening invites have a strap line of THE AFTER PARTY which clearly makes a distinction between the day invites and the evening invites, plus as its aimed at the evening guests I have changed the colours to give more of a night time twilight feel to the invitation. Both of these invites printed really beautifully and were finished off with a gloss lamination to really make them look fantastic.

Rikki & Simon were so delighted with the design of the wedding invites that they wanted it printed up as an A1 poster which they could hang in their house. You can see the poster in the background of the pictires below and it will certainly brighten up whatever room they choose to hang it in.

Halloween Poster Design for Irish Music Session

The Brady Academy of Music runs monthly Irish & traditional music sessions around the county of Derry and beyond. I have designed previous posters for these traditional sessions and they asked me to create them a Halloween based poster for their forthcoming gig. I wanted to focus mainly on the halloween side of things and then try and fit some kind of irish music theme into it, and it was easy really, once I finished the main poster I had ideas of making the gravestones in the shape of instruments but the answer was much simpler. The shape of the moon is the shape and colour of a bodhrán ( an Irish frame drum ), so I put a celtic design around the moon to have this represent the bodhrán in the background. For more poster design please click here or if you require any posters or graphic design work please click here to get in touch.

Cypress Hill US Tour Poster Design

I was extremely pleased last week when the management of American Hip Hop/Rap Band Cypress Hill got in touch with me and told me they had seen some of my previous design work and would like me to design the poster for Cypress Hill’s forthcoming US tour and a variation on the poster to advertise the bands headline gig at the Best Buy Theater in Times Square New York City on Halloween Night. Supporting Cypress Hill on the tour is New York rapper Action Bronson who also features on the poster design. A great project to work on! *Insane*

Festival Style Wedding Table Plan

Lately I have been designing a lot of wedding table plans and wedding seating plans (both the same thing but people refer to them as one or the other). A popular theme for these wedding table plans is festival wedding table plans - to have them designed in a music festival style poster. I have done a few festival style wedding seating plans so far but this one is by far my favourite.

This couple got engaged a few months ago after featuring on Keith Lemon’s new TV progamme called Lemon-Aid. You can watch the video of the guys on Keith’s show by clicking here….

Claire contacted me asking for a a music festival themed wedding table plan based on a few of her favourite music festivals. The result can be seen below and really looks great, take note that special guest on the day will be Keith Lemon himself, what a great guest this would be to have at your wedding. If you are looking for a music festival themed wedding table / seating plan then please get in touch…

Keep Calm and Carry on Wedding Invites

Keep Calm and Carry on Wedding Invites - These wedding invites for Sophie and Matthew are based on the old Keep Calm and Carry On posters which were produced by the british government during the second world war. This Keep Calm and Carry On poster design has a resurgence in the past few years and has been re-issued over a range of products such as war memorabilia, posters, tea towels, mugs, t-shirts and pretty much anything else you can think of, which brings us to wedding invitations.

Sophie and Matthew wanted to use the Keep Calm and Carry On theme in their wedding invitations and wedding stationary design but still have an antique and vintage feel about it. The wedding invite I designed shows the Keep Calm and Carry On theme on a red wooden background with cracked white paint showing the text which has been changed to  Keep Calm its just a Wedding Invite, and on the reverse the wedding invite details are on some old torn and worn paper. These invites where printed A5 size to give a sense of a small sized Keep Calm and Carry On poster which could be kept and possibly later framed by the person that receives it.
