I love vintage travel posters. The graphic imagery and vibrant colors. The enticing and exotic visual lures encouraging you to travel to foreign lands to climb a mountain, ride an elephant, or have a picnic in the countryside. Travel posters were of great importance in the early to mid 20th century, but have become a lost art {I suppose we have cameras to thank}.
Erin, the bride, spent some time abroad in Avignon, France and wanted to incorporate the nostalgia of the travel poster above into her wedding invitations as well as the location of her wedding ceremony - under a large tree. I pushed the boundaries with the gocco on this invitation creating large amounts of solid areas with the border and tree on the invitations, but the results were fantastic! There are a few spots here and there, but over all the coverage is solid. The suite also included a corresponding rsvp with an arch of tree limbs and a reception card reminiscent of grassy fields perfect for picnicking. Très jolie, non?
