Custom Nantucket Wedding Map
We welcome Sara from Griffin-vites today to chat a bit about one of her newest offerings!
Here at Griffin-vites studio, we LOVE designing paper for Nantucket weddings. There’s such a classic charm about the island… it’s so fun to translate a fresh, preppy look to the stationery sets. This season, one of our fantastic couples was looking to include a personalized map card within their invitation suite. Here’s a peek at our creation!
With a lot of time spent on Nantucket, our bride and groom are so excited to be holding their wedding in such a special place. Aside from incorporating artwork of all of the lighthouses, listing beaches and showing some well-known icons, they, of course, hoped for illustrations of their ceremony and reception spot (‘connected’ by a path of sweet teeny hearts), along with their rehearsal dinner location. The couple wanted to bring in personal details as well, conveying to their guests their fondness for this amazing coastal spot. With a deep-rooted passion for sailing, they asked that a grouping of beetle cats be featured on the cards — displaying not only their wedding date amid the colorful sails, but also their soon-to-be monogram. A love of the local bakery and sandwich shop in town topped our list of illustration requests, as well as renderings of some beautiful on-island family properties.
Additional touches, such as a large compass rose and Nantucket red ‘ACK’ (the island’s airport code) helped bring that nautical look to the maps. We thoroughly enjoyed creating these unique custom cards and hope their wedding guests are just as excited to receive them!’
