Vintage Postcard Save the Dates

November 2o11
With the recurring trend of creating a Save the Date invitation in a Vintage Postcard fashion,
here are some modern-turned-timeless Save the Date postcards inspired by authentic vintage postcards and personal photographs significant of the couple-to-be's wedding and venue.
 
 Creating a vintage sepia tone effect and some Photoshopping on an authentic
elegantly composed photograph of the dapper grandparents of the couple showcased as their Save the Date Postcard
Taking elements from an original vintage Postcard to emulate the feel
of a timeless memento, the use of a vintage handwritten script font
evokes the whole tone of the Save the Date Postcard.


 Here are the printed postcards

Who would have thought this European villa style estate is a country club nestled right here as a U.S. gem in Princeton, New Jersey, TPC Jasna Polana. With a beautiful photo to start with, didn't want to tone down the rich color of the blue emitting off the rooftops by adding a light sepia distressed look to a quaint Postcard size Save the Date.

The previous postcard inspired another couple to showcase their personal photos of their wedding venue
at The Hall of Springs at Saratoga Springs, New York rendered and edited to look vintage and sepia-tone.
Elements of an authentic vintage Postcard mixed with a handwritten script font
personal message to their guests were designed to match the front of the Hall of Springs photograph.

A little font play tweak on the vintage postmark to change to
their actual wedding date as per the request from the bride-to-be ;)

About Me

My photo
Pronounced (mahr-CHEH-la) with an invisible H. An observer, I see things that people do not always seem to capture in their initial glance unless intently watching and factoring in every analytical detail. When certain events occur before my eyes, I hold on to selective moments in fear that the moment might not happen again. Drawing inspiration from memories, dreams and revolving elements in daily life, I aspire to express a themed set of pieces based off this notion with interrelated characters, whether made-up or inspired by significant individuals. Raised on wanderlust and all made possible by a dynamic duo of a masterminder music aficionado of the turntables that keeps the dance floor, of all the young at heart, rockin’ ‘til the early morn with impeccable penmanship and the eye to be dapper debonair paired with his renaissance counterpart of whom shines with creativity and multi-talented brilliance that can fashion anything out of everything that she sets her mind to.
