Italian Wedding Invitations:
a Nardini Manor Styled Shoot

As a wedding stationery designer, I recently had the exciting opportunity to design custom invitations for a styled photoshoot held at the stunning Nardini Manor in Buckeye, Arizona. This event, showcasing the talents of upcoming videographers, provided the perfect canvas for my creative vision.

Drawing inspiration from classic Italian weddings, I crafted an invitation suite that exuded timeless elegance. The centerpiece was an ornate letterpress framed crest, which gracefully flowed across the invitation card and continued onto the accompanying enclosure cards. This design element immediately set the stage for a sophisticated and memorable occasion.

The reception space, meticulously styled for the photoshoot, featured a breathtaking tablescape adorned with lush florals, vibrant fruits, and carefully layered flatware. These details, captured beautifully by the videographers, further enhanced the overall ambiance and provided a visual representation of the Italian wedding inspiration that guided the invitation design.

This project was a true labor of love, allowing me to explore the beauty of Italian wedding traditions and translate them into a captivating invitation suite.
