the scottish thistle and the english rose

Jo and Tim are getting married in New Zealand in April. While both proper kiwi kids (albeit living in London these last 7 years) they both have British heritage. Family is really important to them, so they came to me asking if they could include an English rose and a Scottish thistle intertwining to show their history combining into one future. 

They wanted something classic and elegant, using blush and navy as the main colours. To achieve this, I sourced some engraving-style illustrations of the plants, and paired them with Garamond, for a traditional and simple feel. They were printed onto Sirio Pearl Polar card.
