You can imagine how excited I was to be working with Rachel and Clay when they told me their wedding next year would be held at the Bronx Zoo! What a unique and nontraditional venue that allowed for some really creative stuff. After speaking with the bride, we'd have to find the right balance between zoo theme and classy wedding, so it doesn't look like a child's birthday party. To keep it elegant, I went with simple animal silhouettes in black on bright white linen paper. As a personal touch, one of the silhouettes is actually the couples' rambunctious mutt, Hannah!
I took several stabs at this, and here's one of the alternates, more modern and casual with different kinds of type mingling.

The final invitations just printed and I'll post them shortly, along with the official save the date.
This was a close runner up to the one we chose! You did such an incredible job that we had some long debates. We knew there was no wrong answer though!
