Example from the bride
Understanding
the Client
I believe it's essential to understand a client's vision before starting the design process. Since the client wasn’t sure of her exact preferences, I took steps to clarify her needs.
She provided her colour palette - dark purple, light pink, and silver - and an example invitation. The example helped me identify the design styles she preferred.

Wedding Identity
The wedding identity is a crucial reflection of the couple's unique style. I was honoured to design the visual identity and print materials for my most recent bridal client, suited in my home country - Bulgaria.
Scope
The bride required a comprehensive set of print materials to be applied across various wedding assets. The project involved creating a cohesive design that reflected her preferred style. The main deliverables included:
-
Monogram for the bride and groom
-
Invitation design
-
Alcohol packaging
-
Welcome sign with guest list placement
-
Table labels and personalized guest labels

Moodboard #1 Invitation Style Categories
This moodboard explores various wedding invitation styles, such as floral designs, colour gradients, and minimalistic text-only options. These categories helped the client pinpoint her preferred features.
Moodboard #2 Icon Designs and Placements
To create a visual timeline of the day’s events, I designed a moodboard with different icon styles. We decided that vertical placement would work better than the horizontal layout initially considered.

Bachelorette
Photo Album
As a final surprise for the bride, I designed a memory album filled with heartfelt messages and photos from her seven bridesmaids. Each bridesmaid had dedicated spreads featuring a personal letter and a photo collage with the bride. I left the last pages blank so they could add memories from the bachelorette party.
The album was designed in a "scrapbook" style, giving it a personal touch, with each bridesmaid having a slightly different theme for her section.
