We designed invitations and accessories tailored for Stefani and Aleksandra’s spectacular 3 day wedding weekend on the French Riviera.

Ths couture invitation is inspired by the Four Seasons Cap-Ferrat, France –S&A’s wedding venue. Outside, the box is hand wrapped in neutral linen, opening to reveal a book invitation that invites guests on a journey to celebrate their love. The book’s cover features a hand painted 3D watercolor art depiction of their wedding venue. Each page inside is a canvas inspired by the locations of their welcome party at Yacht Club Monaco, white-orchid wedding, and poolside brunch at Four Seasons Cap-Ferrat. Even the shipping box is customized with their Monogram and adorned with watercolor touches. True luxury personalization where every detail tells a story.

The festivities commenced with a welcome party upon the Yacht Club Monaco. Drawing inspiration from the Art Deco yacht interiors, we curated couture designs for monograms, napkins, signages, and the dance floor, ensuring the event boasted a seamlessly branded experience.

S&A’s wedding day unfolded like a dream, resembling a white cloud flower fantasy. In harmony with the theme, we designed the napkins, menu, and invitation page in a palette of white and silver. The invitation itself showcased their wedding day florals, transitioning guests from paper to reality. For the reception, we crafted a menu featuring a silver mirror laser-cut border surrounding a white acrylic center, drawing inspiration from French brocade patterns. Complementing this, silver-embroidered napkins adorned with their monogram added the perfect finishing touch.

S&A’s celebration concluded with a delightful poolside brunch. Drawing inspiration from the charming yellow and white stripe parasols showcased on page 3 of the book invitation, we enhanced the design using gold foil stripes. To complement the theme, we crafted matching signage and napkins featuring an embroidered monogram in vibrant yellow designed by our team.
