The project

When Jo & Max first came to us, the initial list of requirements was quite modest which we were super excited about.

Their style and vision for their wedding was something we undoubtably wanted to be a part of... but as our journey went on, the list got increasingly larger!

Black & white invitations, bespoke wax stamp and all the day stationery...

"Yes girls, you have absolutely smashed it!"

The brief

Jo & Max are our dream clients; they knew what they wanted and liked, they just needed us to make their dreams a reality.

When we heard that their strapping, handsome Visla, Hendrix was going to their wedding, we knew that he just had to be featured throughout their stationery, in some way, shape or form.

Jo & Max's stationery was going to be different and unique in so many ways, from the noir colour palette to all the personal details added to their stationery and we were so there for it!

The approach

It all started with the bespoke illustration of Hendrix, in which we made into a beautiful black matte wax stamp that featured on their invitation suite.

The design of their invites included a hand drawn map and minimal details, directing their guests to their website; the design had to be strong, modern and memorable. They made a statement that set the tone for the rest of the stationery to come.

The results

Noir invitations, noir signage, noir menus, even noir personalised door hangers. Their theme was consistent, bold and unforgettable.

Upon receiving their gallery of images, photographed by Sam Docker, we were floored with just how incredible this wedding was.

"Can we do it all over again? I miss you guys!"
