OUGD603 - Verity & Matthew Wedding Stationery Design - Research 2

Ok, so since my last research post, the project has taken a very different turn.

The bride saw my prepositions and said that she thinks it should be wayyyy simpler and sent me these images as references.

She said that she wants the initials on the front, something like this. She said she also loves the font of the text poking out. Upon closer inspection, the font is 'Rochester' which we will be using.

The client said she'd like something like this, except the bows/ ribbon would be raffia, to refer to their agricultural/ equestrian backgrounds.

After I said that its risky printing black onto such dark paper and then refusing to screen print over 200 invitations and menus to achieve white on brown paper, the client suggested that we have a cream card insert, something like this:

Name tags for the seating plan would be on these tags, which have been pre-bought by the bride, which I will be hand-writing. She wanted me to print onto them, which would be near impossible unless we vinyl cut them, but even then it is fiddly and the end result is shiny:

She wants me to create a logo or emblem with perhaps both of their initials for the front, and the design to open like a gatefold.
