ReplyRSVP gatefold doors
A gatefold RSVP whose wax seal splits as its two panels swing open like chapel doors, revealing the reply card inside.
Old Port, painted
Montréal’s Old Port painted in soft pastels, washed in layer by layer with visible brush strokes.
Old Port in spring
The Old Port painting in spring: the same evening light, fresher trees and gulls crossing the sky.
Old Port in fall
The Old Port painting in fall: golden light, orange trees on the promenade and maple leaves drifting down.
Old Port in winter
The Old Port painting in winter: cold light, ice floes on the river, snow on the roofs and snow falling.
Lakeside cottage in fall
A cottage on a Canadian lake built like a theatre set — flat paper cut-outs slide in from outside the frame, from the floor and the wings, then maple leaves drift down.
Autumn drive
A couple in a cream convertible on a road through fall woods: the watercolour appears item by item, colour blooming into wet paper tree by tree, then the wheels turn, the lane line slides by and leaves fall.
Frontenac in winter
The Château Frontenac in the snow, painted in swirling oil strokes: in the dark a street lamp flickers on over a couple, dusk spreads from the lamp over the château, then the view closes in as the couple kiss.
Montreal evening
A Plateau street in autumn, from a watercolour: a woman rides by on her bicycle, a bay window lights up on a couple in wedding clothes, dancing, then the other rooms light up and the view closes in on them.
Toronto skyline
Toronto at night in autumn: a bride and groom kiss under the CN Tower, her veil rippling and the windows twinkling, then turn slowly as they dance while maple leaves fall.
Gastown kiss
A Gastown plaza on an autumn night, from an illustration: the steam clock ticks and steams, the lamp is switched on, leaves fall, and the view slowly closes in on a bride and groom as they lean in and kiss.
Scratch to reveal
The guest scratches a gold foil panel with a finger to uncover the wedding date beneath.
Candlelight reveal
A tap lights a candle and its warm glow slowly brings the invitation out of the dark.
Pop-up card
The card unfolds and paper layers rise in 3D to build the venue façade in front of the guest.
Ribbon untie
The guest pulls the tail of a satin bow; it slips undone and the ribbon ripples off the card like fabric.
Love-story map
An ink line traces the couple’s journey city by city across a hand-drawn map and ends at the venue.
Painted venues across Canada
The Old Port technique applied to more places — Château Frontenac, the Rockies at Banff, Niagara vineyards, the Toronto skyline.
Seasonal scenes
Cherry blossom in spring, petals in summer, maple leaves in autumn, snowfall in winter — picked from the wedding date.
Polaroid stack
The couple’s photos drop in, develop from grey to colour and fan out into a loose stack.
Mehndi pattern
Fine henna lines draw themselves around the couple’s names, motif by motif.
Rangoli bloom
A symmetrical rangoli or mandala blooms outward from the centre, ring by coloured ring.
Multi-event curtain
A curtain draws back on each event in turn — mehndi, sangeet, ceremony, reception — and leads into its reply.
Names in two scripts
The names are handwritten in Latin and in a second script — Gurmukhi, Chinese or right-to-left Arabic.
Language page turn
Switching between English and French turns the page like paper instead of swapping the text in place.
Red envelope
A red and gold hongbao opens to reveal the invitation for Chinese weddings.
Ketubah illumination
An illuminated ketubah border is painted and gilded around the text for Jewish weddings.
