Four Wishes for a Wedding
Invitation and more..
Invitation and more..
Everything startedwhen Andreas and Sophia decided to get married on the name day of the bride,
on17 th September (the day when Sophia/Wisdom, Pisti/Faith, Agape/Loveand Elpida/Hope are celebrated).
The concept of the weddingin question derives from the particularity of the celebrated day – the fournames celebrated on this day could very well be wishes for the couple, for ahappy marriage.
It has to be noted thatin Greece name days are of great importance, similar to birthdays!
Thus, a rectangularinvitation was created in four versions. On the one side (the common one) there is the text with the necessaryinstructions for the ceremony, while on the back side 4 different illustrationswere created, dedicated to each of the ‘wishes’ with accompanying texts thatexplain the meaning of each one of them.
Wisdom= the powerto make the right choices
Faith= the power toalways move forward with courage
Love = the powerthat keeps us together at any given moment
Hope = the power tolook at the future full of smiles
As a result, eachof the guests would receive a different invitation.
The style and the hand-madeillustrations of the invitation are based on well-known symbolism (e.g. Wisdomas a main symbol has the eye, Faith the star, Love the heart and Hope a flyingbird).

For the guestsgiveaway packages, paper small boxes were created (with the same illustrationthemes) tied with white satin ribbons and containing wedding sugared almonds (traditionalGreek sweets, given at weddings). These were dispensed at the end of theceremony.
The particularly inspiringillustrations were hand-drawn and, following that, were processedelectronically.

The typeface that was chosen for all texts is "GFS GAZISREGULAR», that is designed in such a way so to evoke the old practice ofcarving Greek letters, in the logic of byzantine cursive script.
The end-result isspecial, happy and unique.
