Banner Motif
The ribbon-like banner has terminal ends which split into two and then form the initilas of Gwen Smythe and Peter Carrington.
Within we find the initials of their first names on the cover of the invitation.
The long card at left was designed for use for the elaborate program. Readings, musical selections and various religious proceedings were placed in order on each turn of the banner.

You've noticed, I am sure, that no calligraphy is seen on this ensemble.

We decided to have all the elements typeset (click on the program for a detail). Calligraphy is like a spice to be used sparingly. To have everything calligraphed would be overkill, not to mention extremely difficult to read in the dim light of a cathedral or flickering candlelight of the cozy restaurant.

Only the envelopes and escort cards were hand-calligraphed.
The same design was altered to be quite shorter for the simple three course dinner twhich followed .
The escort card above directed the guests to the tables designated by the banner-numbers below.
Thank-you notes were written on cards having the image above on its cover. You might think it is the same as the cover of the invitation. Look again.
I also designed a map to their new home using the same aesthetics.
