The design's card

What goes into Petal Diary.

Floral story with a timeline and polaroid portraits

  • The opening

    Window words

    Big words cut out of the paper: every letter is a window onto your first Gallery photo, and the last window is your names. With no photos, the letters open onto a wash of the template's colours.

  • The type

    Cormorant Garamond · Mulish

    Cormorant Garamond for the names, Mulish for the text.

  • The colours

    Blush · Sage

    3 palettes: base, blush, sage. Switch in one click, in the editor.

  • The RSVP

    Will you come?

    A button in the invitation: who is coming, with how many, which menu. The answers come to you.

About the design

The photograph leads here, not the animation: the first second is a full-screen cover, the names in Cormorant Garamond over the image and the venue beneath them. Eighteen petals drift across the page in dusty rose, wine and sand. Two polaroid portraits follow, each captioned with a name, then the day unfolds on a vertical timeline alternating left and right around one thin rule. The text is Mulish, the only use of it in the catalogue, set on solid white panels rather than translucent ones. The accent is a deep wine, and the closing sinks into that same wine.

Which events it suits

Built for a wedding and for nothing else: the portrait pair needs two people, and the timeline wants three timed places — registry office, church, restaurant — which is a wedding's shape and nobody else's. Right for couples who already have one strong cover photograph and want it to carry the page. The wine also comes in blush and sage.
