A Cretan Love Affair
This pastel wedding invitation set elegantly captures the essence of a dreamy venue: Agreco, a charming traditional farm nestled on the enchanting Greek island of Crete. Picture azure skies stretching endlessly above, while breathtaking landscapes unfold below, adorned with luscious olive groves and carefully tended rows of vibrant grapevines. The estate, perched gracefully on a hillside, offers sweeping views of the sparkling Cretan Sea, creating a romantic backdrop that celebrates the beauty of eternal love.
The delicate watercolor illustration of the estate’s pink chapel harmonizes beautifully with the translucent vellum cover, bringing to life the story of Ariadne’s first encounter with Dionysus (Bacchus) by the Italian Baroque painter Sebastiano Ricci. In this timeless tale, the god of wine, captivated by the beautiful Cretan princess, professes his love and proposes marriage. As a symbol of his devotion, he offers her the sky as a wedding gift, promising that one day she will ascend to the heavens and become a constellation,
forever shining as a testament to their love.

REQUIREMENTS for custom illustrations:
All our work is produced and designed in house. Our illustration process involves creating a hand-drawn sketch on a tablet using a drawing software and then work on digitizing this on Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
To create your unique custom artwork, we kindly ask you to provide us with a high-quality photograph that will serve as the foundation for your illustration. We aim to capture your vision accurately with the first sample we produce. It’s important to know that additional design fees will be incurred if you submit new reference photos after receiving the initial artwork sample, which necessitates a change in design direction. Due to the specialized nature of this artwork and the time required for its creation, we will be working with **ONE** chosen image only. Once we deliver your proof, we cannot recreate or adjust the artwork using a second photograph. To avoid confusion, please send the photo you wish us to use before we begin the creative process. If you decide to provide multiple images for us to choose from, please keep in mind that we will select the most appropriate one, and this selection will be final after delivering the proof.
For each illustration, it's essential that you provide **ONE** clear, high-resolution image of the subject. This photo should represent the subject well, as we cannot modify the perspective or proportions of the venue, landscape, or any other depicted element. Therefore, please choose a photo that aligns with these requirements to ensure the best possible outcome for your artwork.
We can also add embellishments such as trees, bushes, and floral details to produce unique artwork for your invitations.
