About the Design

comments from the designer:

My goal was to take the key elements Laurice and Alex were inspired by and really fuse them into a design that still reflected the sophisticated and modern aesthetic Minted was looking for. I really loved all of the design elements they were going for and I tried to take each one and pare it down in a really pleasing way that also let the photo be the centerpiece of the Save The Date. You can look at each element, like the shape of the library due date card and the fun and slightly throwback handwriting used for the names and know what it’s evoking, even in its most basic form. And since Laurice and Alex were engaged in Japan, I knew I definitely wanted to incorporate something reminiscent of that, but at the same time, didn’t want it to be too over the top and obvious, so I used a pattern from Japanese silkscreened paper as a subtle touch in the background. Hopefully these simple but sophisticated touches can resonate with other couples too – I’d love to see this design be adaptable to other couples in terms of color and background pattern.
