This lavender welcome sign was designed as an extension of G + C’s invitation suite.
Inspired by the bride’s shoes and matched to their envelopes, it was all about continuity, color, and intention at this beautiful San Luis Obispo venue. . .

Design that tells a story long before your day begins.
A meaningful detail in G + C’s invitation suite was the mountain silhouette details card.
The three peaks were intentionally designed to reflect the Colorado mountains where Genevieve and Cody fell in love while running, and the sister mountains of San Luis Obispo, the place they chose to get married. A single detail holding meaning, movement, and place.
One quiet detail, layered with intention. . .

Design becomes meaningful when intention shapes every detail.
Every piece of this custom wedding invitation suite and day-of signage was created with purpose. The floral watercolor was painted in advance, inspired by the day-of florals by @moonglowfloral guests would later experience in person. The lavender envelope was selected to mirror the bride’s shoes from @bellabelleshoes, creating a subtle yet meaningful connection between style and stationery. . .
