Wedding Invitations: Anatomical Heart

I'm still done with wedding invitations but I just realized I never shared these with you guys - and Valentine's Day seemed like the perfect occasion to show off some invitation work.

Emily and Colin were both finishing up medical school when they hired me to design their custom wedding invitations. (Because I guess they thought graduating from medical school wasn't stressful enough - so they decided to throw a wedding on top of it.) They both wanted something romantic, vintage, and ... anatomical. So I busted out my various anatomy books (yes, really) and found a few different hearts to work with. I even changed the label letters on the heart used on the invite to say EMILY & COLIN.

And what's surprising is that Emily wasn't my first med-student-bride to work with. You might remember my very first vintage apothecary inspired letterpress invites for Anna & Tom.

  1. I LOVE these. AMAZE-balls. I would like for you to blow up one of these heart prints and mail it to me. I have a spot in my house that is screaming for this. xxo

  4. Omg! I've always wanted to do an anatomical heart design for wedding invitations!! I thought about designing some to offer as a per-designed suite but thought it was a little too "out there" and needed to be custom. These are gorgeous.
