Meredith and Sam weren’t always the wine connoisseurs they are today. It was only when Sam’s brother gave him a couple’s gift certificate to a local wine appreciation class for Christmas that the two were exposed and ultimately charmed by the vine. During that class they found that wine is one of the most beautiful metaphors for love and life we have in our culture. The roots of old vines can reach up to 30 feet or more into the ground in their struggle to find water, but in this struggle the fruit on the vine becomes sweeter and fuller, creating a complex and sophisticated wine. Over the next year Meredith and Sam traveled to vineyards across the US, and now they would like to invite you along with them as they celebrate the sacrament of marriage. With the ceremony being held at one of Texas’s most beautiful vineyards, and wine blended by the on site winery, we invite you to celebrate the beauty, complexity and depth of marriage.
A combination of modern diagonal lines and ornate florals create a balance of masculine and feminine in this suite and creates a visual metaphor of the elements that go into making a complex and sophisticated wine (and marriage). A family of traditional and modern typefaces also contribute to the concept of combining a variety of elements to create something new.
