Speculative illustrations for a client for wedding table place cards.
The brief was for a rustic theme, with a lavendar colour scheme, although examples were presented in both lavendar and black ink.
The tables are all named after obscure Lincolnshire villages, with a total of 12 place cards. To expand upon generic wedding place cards that could've just been acquired elsewhere, to make these unique, additional visual elements were incorporated into the designs.

| Pinchbeck |
For Pinchbeck, a Spalding Flower Parade theme involved a lucky horseshoe tulip wreath in keeping with the South Holland area and bulb industry heritage.

Mavis Enderby
Mavis Enderby avoids traditional bird cage designs often found in wedding stationery and decorative products, instead going for a bird's nest and birdhouse design. Marriage shouldn't be a metaphorical cage, no! |

Old Bolingbroke
A straight up lavendar wreath in a horseshoe design, finished with a gothic arch, decorated with hearts, and celebrated with a flypast from The Red Arrows. |

| Tydd Gote |
Tydd Gote, located
in the Wash Estuary between Holbeach and Sutton Bridge is possibly the location of Bad King John's lost crown jewels, which is why Tydd Gote has a medieval shield design flanked by seaweed. Waves at the bottom represent the tide overcoming King John's baggage carriage, with his horse in peril in the waves, and the crown jewels in the sea.
Love locks for the happy couple follow the treasure quest theme.
