River Wedding
This invitation suite was created for my own wedding. Held at Berowra Waters Inn I took my inspiration from the beautiful river setting of the location. Ducks have always been a symbol of peace and happiness in my family so the pair of ducks became an important motif. I also wanted to represent the full colour palette I was using for the wedding of cream/lemon/pink and pale green.

For my wedding I also designed this intricate symbol featuring the Chinese symbol for double happiness in the centre. Around it are nesting love birds, a pair of swimming goldfish and flowers. It is hand-cut and incredibly delicate and was created as a special one-off card to give to my husband.

Wollemi Pine Theme
Designed for a botanical inspired 30th held at Mount Tomah Botanical Gardens in the Blue Mountains I created this design featuring the Wollemi Pine. This tree was a favourite of Alison's and was also the location of the event so it was the perfect central feature for the design. The invitation also features hand-lettering details to give it a vintage feel to suit the personality of Alison.
