Kelley + Jesse Wedding Crest

Kelley and Jesse were looking for a unique, organic crest element to incorporate into their wedding invitations. The elements they suggested including were California wildflowers, an oak tree, an acorn, water, and their initials. Initially they thought they might include some sort of motto, but eventually decided to go more simple with just a date.

Original Sketches

Based on their prompts, inspiration, and our conversation I presented them with four initial concepts. While we all loved the script monogram element for how it incorporated all of their initials, we ended up agreeing that the quirky serif was more right for them and their special day.

 

Memory Candle

Kelley wanted to have a small memorial for and presence of her late mother at her celebration, so she asked me to hand paint a prayer candle for her to light.
