Wedding: Invitation

First up, the invitation! My family is British, and Alex's ancestors are from Wales, so our wedding had a British/nautical theme. We asked the brilliantly talented Michael and Emma to design our invitations (remember their amazing wedding?) and they did an incredible job! We loved the handwritten type, patterned background, and beautiful ship and anchor. The invitation's shape recalled a 1960's concert poster, and we mailed them rolled up in little tubes. Thank you so much, M+E!
