Blossoms and Butterflies

This invitation set is exta special... because it is designed for my very good and long-time friend, Linda. I've known Linda since my grade school years (and probably much earlier, since she is quite a few years younger). Growing up... our families knew each other and I went to school with her sisters (from grade school to high school). We lived a few streets apart and her mom frequently invited us over to play and eat. It is nostalgic just thinking about the good ole days....

Linda asked me to design an invitation with butterflies and cherry blossoms. With that in mind, we designed a nifty accordion-style invitation where butterflies played and fluttered in a garden scene of cherry blossoms. Each panel was devoted to information guests needed to know about the event. We kept it modern and casually elegant (to mirror the gallery venue) with whimsical touches to reflect the bubbly love and personalities of Linda and Kohei.

We are so happy for Linda! And we will be celebrating with her next month.

Linda, thanks for the honor you have given me to design your wedding stationery!
