Awa & Cheikh Ndar Sous-Verre Senegalese Wedding Invitation
A three-page wedding suite, invitation and programme at 1500x2100 plus a 1500x1050 RSVP card, painted in the Senegalese sous-verre manner: the Faidherbe Bridge arching over the Senegal river at dusk with colonial Saint-Louis houses, a baobab, a flame tree, a crescent moon and striped Guet Ndar pirogues, then a panel of painted sabar drums and a pirogue vignette, all in glass cobalt, saffron, coral, mint, rose and cream with crisp black outline bands, set in Young Serif and Hanken Grotesk inside a painted frame of dots, diamonds, sawtooth triangles and star corner tiles. Joyful and folk-art rather than formal, it follows a Wolof wedding day from takk at the mosque through the céet arrival to the sabar reception, with Wolof greetings, French lines and English details organised as hero invitation, timed programme and tick-box reply card.
