A Glimpse Into the Craft
Tasneem approached us with a clear idea of what she wanted for her wedding invitations and trusted us to help shape those ideas into print.
This is the story of how Tasneem and Samuel’s wedding stationery was crafted at Famous.
The Brief
On 20 August 2025, we connected with Tasneem to discuss her wedding invitations. She initially planned to print only the invites, but as conversations progressed, she shared that she would also require additional wedding stationery.
One element was especially important to her—an illustration of her wedding venue. Soughton Hall in North Wales was to feature prominently on the main insert.
While she shared references she had seen online, she felt they lacked character. She wanted the design to feel richer and more personal.
Through discussion, she wanted the vines that grow on Soughton Hall illustrated along the borders. This added a sense of depth while gently framing the venue illustration.
The Paper
For the main insert, the WILD 450 was selected for its natural finish and substantial weight. The paper allowed the illustration and details to sit comfortably without overpowering the design.
The envelopes were printed on the Munken 120, paired with a Munken Pure 100 liner. Together, they brought balance and consistency to the overall suite.
The Print
The main invitation was printed using a single letterpress colour, paired with a blind letterpress impression and finished with selective varnish. This combination added depth while keeping the design restrained.
The envelopes featured a blind letterpress liner with varnish on the inner flap, along with a single letterpress impression on the outer flap—subtle details that tied the stationery together.
After her main invites were delivered, we continued working with Tasneem on her remaining wedding stationery, including menus, place cards, and table numbers. She planned each piece carefully and had a clear sense of timing throughout.
To the Couple — Tasneem & Samuel
It was a pleasure to work closely with Tasneem and bring her vision to life through thoughtful collaboration.
Warmest congratulations to you both — Tasneem and Samuel.
