I need a dedicated wedding event website. The site should include an RSVP system and integrate with a "With Joy" website, along with custom invite design. Key Requirements: - RSVP System - With Joy integration - Custom invite design Ideal Skills: - Web development expertise - Experience with wedding websites - Strong design skills for invitations Emily MacLeod Pitcher & Dr. Samuel Alexey Sorokin Objective Design a timeless wedding invitation and matching wedding website that reflect the venue, the artwork, and an understated 1920s-inspired aesthetic. The look should feel old-world, elegant, and confident. Not trendy. Not theatrical. Not overly decorative. The design should feel at home in a historic Berlin interior. ⸻ Scope • Digital-first design • Wedding website built on With Joy • Invitation design to serve as the visual foundation for the website • Optional adaptation for print if needed It would be helpful if the designer can both design and implement the website directly on With Joy to ensure consistency. ⸻ Available Artwork Emily has original white rose paintings that may be used as part of the design. These should be treated as: • A subtle, textural element • Cropped, washed out, or ghosted • Atmospheric rather than illustrative Use only if it enhances restraint and elegance. Artwork is available, not mandatory. ⸻ Overall Look & Feel • Old-world European elegance • 1920s salon inspiration (not Gatsby, not costume) • Calm, restrained, and confident • Gallery-like rather than decorative • Romantic, but not sentimental Avoid anything playful, whimsical, or trend-driven. ⸻ Inspiration • Venue interiors: candlelight, antique furniture, velvet textures, muted golds • Artwork: sculptural, porcelain-like white roses, rich texture, softness The design should feel cohesive with both the venue and the artwork. ⸻ Color Palette Primary tones: • Soft ivory / warm white • Subtle plaster or blush undertones • Emerald green (deep, muted, not jewel-bright) Accent tones: • Warm taupe • Antique gold • Charcoal (preferred over pure black) Emerald should be used sparingly as a grounding accent, not as a dominant color. Avoid: • Stark whites • Bright or saturated greens • Pastels ⸻ Typography • Primary: classic serif, elegant and legible • Secondary: same family or a restrained serif for supporting text No script fonts No calligraphy No decorative typefaces ⸻ Invitation Copy (Final) Emily MacLeod Pitcher & Dr. Samuel Alexey Sorokin invite you to share in the celebration of their marriage Saturday, the eighth of August two thousand twenty-six Berlin Ceremony 11:00 Große Hamburger Str. 29–30 10115 Berlin Reception 17:00 Wriezener Str. 6 13359 Berlin Dress Code Evening attire 1920s-inspired welcome, not required Kindly respond by [RSVP date] via our website ⸻ Design Direction • Portrait orientation • Generous white space • Either: • A very subtle background texture inspired by the rose paintings, or • A clean ivory background with refined typographic detailing If floral elements are used, they should feel embossed, textural, or ghosted. Never illustrative. ⸻ Platform Considerations • Final design must work cleanly within With Joy • Typography, spacing, and background treatments should translate well to web • Avoid design elements that rely on specialty printing or complex effects ⸻ What to Avoid • Script fonts • Obvious floral borders • Trend-driven wedding aesthetics • Gatsby or “roaring twenties” references • Anything whimsical, cute, or overly romantic ⸻ Deliverables • Final digital invitation design • Fully built wedding website on With Joy (preferred) • Web-optimized assets aligned with the invitation design
