My Best Friend’s Wedding
Christina and I have been best friends since age zero. Our parents were friends for years before we were born, and since she and I were in diapers, we’ve been joined at the hip. When she called me a year and a half ago in the middle of the night, screaming, I knew she’d just gotten engaged. I think it was the very next day that we started dreaming up the details for her August fête in Austria’s Wachau Valley—the birth place of her fiancé Leo.
Knowing her as well as I do, I barely needed Christina to tell me about her vision before I started drafting her invitation suite. It had to be black and white. It had to be modern and minimalist. And of course, I had to be bilingual in English and German. The result was a quintessentially “Christina & Leo” invitation, lettered in a combination of script and small caps, and letterpress printed on luscious 220lb Crane’s Lettra.
