Wedding place-cards


My sister got married at the end of July, her and my bro-in-law asked me to make the place-cards. It took me a couple of weeks but I love how they turned out and I think they did too!
My sister had purple and white flowers throughout the wedding, us bridesmaids wore a dark cadbury purple and she had a bouquet of dried lavender. With this in mind I drew 2 styles of lavender with a fine-liner, scanned and printed out about 90 (6 per A4 sheet), cut the place cards to size, bended the place cards and then hand painted each one with acrylic inks, finished with the person's name in black indian ink and done.
Fun project. I wish I'd taken a photo of them all spread out across my floor drying.

P.s- Obviously their second name isn't a blur but I'm keeping it private.
P.p.s- The wedding was AWESOME.
