Design Wedding Invitation

We are looking for someone to design our wedding invitation. Work process: 1. Design the art based on guidelines we will provide. 2. Show us a few drafts with ideas. We will comment on these ideas and together finalize it. 3. Once finalized we will receive a high quality copy of the wedding invitation, with and without the text. 4. Once the invitation is complete we will also want a design for the envelope. This will be based on the invitation design with a few of the main themes from the invitation put together to fit the back of the envelope similar to a company logo. Technical details: 1. We would like to have a bilingual invitation. We don't have a specific idea of how to do this, so we are open to creative ideas. The text can be in any font, and can be in any position on the page that the designer sees fit. 2.

Theme & Art: We want our wedding invitation to have a forest and lake theme. We envision a beautiful lake scene with trees, flowers, and maybe even birds or animals.

The couple should be wearing normal clothing (as opposed to formal/bridal wear). We will provide pictures of ourselves to help you get an idea of what we look like.
