Retrospective Series: A Look Back, Part 8

Part 8 brings in a tale of two stories.

Story one is exemplified by a rush of romantic projects, where material-focused designs meet delicate pops of romantic vignettes. Each piece is carefully crafted with cohesive visual elements that tie everything together seamlessly. The tactile luxury of the materials adds a unique depth, enhancing the overall experience.

The other half of projects take a more personal approach, with full page illustrations that vividly capture the clients’ personalities and the essence of their weddings. These designs are rich in detail, telling stories with every element.
