Bird and Banner — Lancaster, USA

"We feel that our best and most memorable wedding invitations are the ones that follow the couple’s personal style and not the trend of the moment. The wedding invitation is most often the first part of the celebration the guests will experience."

When it came to naming their studio, founders Erin Mulcahy and Nicole Michels picked the two elements that they work with most of the time – birds and banners. As professional graphic designers, they love good typography and sophisticated use of colour and find that with both these elements, they can push the envelope when designing wedding invitations and collateral. With their ability to hand-print, they have been able to work with a variety of interesting and unusual materials, such as wood and vintage fabrics.
