Wedding cards - Stephen Phan

Wedding cardsEach invitation tells a story: from the object that opens it, the palette and the lettering to the way guests reply.

Indochine Grace - Green shutters, patterned tiles, a tram ticket and a telegram RSVP.

Betrothal Trays - Pull the cloth to open the tray, a procession of eight offerings, a ceremonial screen and a guest book.

Double Happiness - A red sheet folded in four, a moon gate, nine lattice windows and a hanging Hỷ tag.

Highland Train - A ticket check at boarding, a three-station route, views through the carriage window and a luggage tag.

Wedding Photo Envelope - A photo envelope, the darkroom, a drying line, test prints and an RSVP postcard.

Afterglow - An evening under the lights, the album as side A and side B of a record.

The Wedding Gazette - Unfold the newspaper: the front page, a halftone photo story, classifieds and a cut-out RSVP slip.

Lanterns of Hội An - Light the folding lanterns, walk the old town by map, a row of shopfronts and a floating-lantern RSVP.

Áo Dài Tailor - Open the garment box, wedding-day measurements, basting stitches across each photo, fabric swatches and a two-part appointment slip.

In Good Company - One long table, an invitation on the tablecloth and the people we love.
