A gift of excitement, a collection of beautiful things both close to their hearts and to the heart of the place they wed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe worked together for ten months to create something that could hardly be deemed an invitation. A gift, maybe. More like a finely curated assemblage of meaningful things, like opening the lid of a close friend's favorite collection of personal objects. Alex and Terry wanted the suite to be as personal, tactile and location-centric as possible. The concept took on a three dimensional form, and the invitations were shipped in large hand-lettered kraft boxes that were carefully opened to uncover a sun-kissed wooden box overflowing with the invitation and supporting objects. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe hand-lettered the invitation and hot foil stamped it in gold foil onto sturdy and semi translucent pieces of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mica\"\u003emica.\u003c\/a\u003e Additional pieces such as their RSVP and Smudge Blessing Card were letterpress printed onto thick cotton paper.

The lids were hand painted and screen printed.

Alex helped us source sage bundles, quartz rocks, vintage matches from New Mexican locations and palo santo sticks to complete the suite and allow their guests to conduct a Smudge Blessing of their own. All of these items, plus a hand drawn map of Taos and a celestial map of the night sky on the date of their wedding, were carefully tucked into the handmade wooden box which was designed to fit perfectly within an outer shipping box. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe got to know Alex over the time we spent working together, and now consider her a close friend.
