Dash Wedding Invitation Card - The Making
Dash Wedding Invite is unique and creative. David and I have been receiving so many emails ever since our friends and relatives received the wedding cards. Many feedbacks received…
‘This wedding card has won the best creative award’
‘This is the coolest wedding invite I’ve ever seen’
‘So unique! So creative!’
‘I’ve never seen anything like this before!’
And many more….
Let me introduce to you the brain behind the work:
The movie poster concept was birth forth one day when I was in church service. (The idea just dropped into my mind even as I didn’t intentionally think about wedding stuff’). Then I also came out with the THEME for our wedding DASH UNITED: TWO HEARTS ONE DESTINY
My younger sister, Sharon, who is now also a graphic designer, shared with me the idea of the BUS STATION. As she shared about the bus stop, I grasped the idea rapidly and clearly, and thought it is a pretty good idea. So I interpreted and elaborated the concept further:
‘Our marriage is like a journey, at this station of life (bus stop), we get on the bus and we are heading the same destination, fulfilling our destiny). Along with us, there are also others who will be on this journey with us, our friends and family. (Demonstrated by the bridal party).’
The bridal party displayed the HOBBY&INTERESTS of Dash:
1. Sharon Boon (Headset&Ipod) Music&Singing (Shirley & David)
2. Ng Yee Jan (Bags & Map) Traveling (Shirley & David)
3. Sandra Boon (Squash racket) Squash (David)
4. Felicia Choong (Books) Reading (Shirley & David)
5. Loo Chun Haw (Notebook) IT & Internet (Shirley &David)
6. Thomas Ong (Guitar) Guitar & Songwriting (Shirley & David)
7. Shamim (Handphone, busy) Business & marketplace (David)
8. Jeff Low (Basketball) Basketball (Shirley)
Apart from the actual wedding card, I've also came out with the concept for our E-invite! We send this via emails to everyone to get them to mark down their calendar and block this special day to watch the Dash United.
Apart from my sister and I, one of the important person behind these beautiful invite design is our very own DASH FUSION SDN BHD in-house designer, Wei Tieng. She’s one with amazing designing talents that I believe will go really far in her career. She’s the one that draws out our concept and making our imaginations comes alive!
Combined with other ideas for content from David and the staff of Dash Fusion, this beautiful invite card was born. We also send this card to all our friends who cannot make it for the wedding, we know that it is something that they won’t simply throw away but will surely keep for remembrance.
Well, some people might think that this doesn't look like wedding invitation card at all... they expect something more conventional or 'traditional. But well, this is our wedding! Thus we do things the way that best represents who we are - Sophisticated, contemporary yet relevant.
