Laila & Farid Herat Firoza Afghan Wedding Invitation
A three page suite, invitation and celebrations pages at 1500x2100 plus a 1500x1050 RSVP, built around a Timurid tile pishtaq from the Friday Mosque of Herat: cobalt and turquoise mosaic bands of girih stars, white arabesque spandrels with saffron palmettes, a muqarnas canopy and an iwan arch opening onto a garden of cypresses, pomegranates, almond blossom, a fountain and an aina mosaf vignette, in lapis, firoza turquoise, Herat saffron, glaze white, aubergine and leaf green, set in Libre Caslon Display, Instrument Sans and Noto Naskh Arabic, with a gold bead fringe and embroidery tooth border. It is formal, warm and distinctly Afghan, with the cover announcing the couple, the second page laying out Khina night, Nikah, Arosi reception and Aina Mosaf in a framed grid, and the RSVP pairing a candlelit henna tray under a night sky over Herat with a reply form.
