fiona & troy :: wedding stationery



Late last year we had the pleasure of printing a pretty unique set of wedding stationery for Fiona & Troy. We had been in discussion with Fiona for some time about printing her wedding stationery for her and as she is a graphic designer she was super excited to design something truly unique for us to print for her.

For their Save the Dates Fiona had sent out handkerchiefs to their guests (representing the idea of romance back in old war times, when lovers, girlfriends and or wives would give their handkerchiefs to their men as a symbol of the love they shared). From this idea, she was then spurred onto thinking of old postcards, and after a call to her Nana she was super pleased to discover that her Nana had kept her old telegrams from which Fiona could base her design upon, and so a seed was born!

Fiona then personalised the traditional Australian telegram design with a silhouette of two children kissing to represent Fiona & Troys childhood romance which blossomed when they were just little things at the tender age of 14.

The complete stationery range was printed on ivory cotton stocks and included 2 colour invitations, reply cards, maps, hotel accommodation cards, gift suggestion cards and day after event cards. All these were packaged up inside of red and blue striped airmail envelopes with old world map linings.

Just gorgeous!! It was a pleasure to work with Fiona & Troy - we wish them an amazing wedding day and cannot wait to see photos of what other unique ideas they have planned!!
