After 10 years of successful business, we saw it fit to host our own epic styled event to celebrate with our staff, clients, suppliers and loved ones. The imaginary world of Steampunk completely captured our imaginations; the creative scope and intriguing layers of the theme, resonating with much of who we are as creatives living out our dreams in the adventures of business. Fourteen months prior to the set event date, we embraced the challenge and started the creative process to create an eventing experience that would transport our guests into a reimagined fantastical Victorian era through the art of event styling. We painstakingly crafted this truly bespoke event – conceptualising, sourcing and manufacturing every tiny detail. So “Our Spirit of Adventure” was birthed, lived and experienced by all in attendance. What a night to remember – celebrating God’s goodness in our lives!
Invitation design – Victorian fonts, etch plate graphics combined with gritty industrial textures gave the design that quirky Steampunk edge. Leather bound handmade envelope with textured printed information cards including dress-up instructions & resources.
