When designing the wedding invitation for Victoria Sorensen and Timothy Mueller, Toner and Trish LaPointe (art director at the Clinton, Conn., studio) say they scrapped idea after idea until the bride-to-be sent them a piece of poetry to be read at the ceremony. Upon reading the following excerpt from Captain Corelli’s Mandolin by Louis de Bernieres, they knew they had their inspiration: “Those that truly love have roots that grow towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their branches, they find that they are one tree and not two.”
The Sorensen-Mueller wedding invite features a tree with calligraphic branches and leaves interwoven around the word “entwined.” The invitation was printed by Technique Printers on Strathmore Writing, Wove, Natural White.
The tree design used on the invitations also appeared as a mural at the wedding reception, as seen in the image below (by Maggie Conley Photography).
