Using his own wedding as inspiration, designer and illustrator Jono Garrett created contemporary, sleek and meaningful wedding material that had nothing to do with the traditional pink, glitter or over-the-top romantic wedding material we are all used too.
The inspiration for his designs came from the couples postcard tradition from their travels either together or individually.
"Since my wife and I met, whenever either one of us was away from home we sent a postcard. We wanted our invitations to reflect something really honest about us, but also make the people receiving them feel important," says Garrett.
Using postcards to both document their relationship and invite and inform guests of their Koln, Germany wedding destination, Garrett's hopes of creating meaningful wedding material is not only sweet but aesthetically stunning as well.
