Éléonore Delacroix & Maximilien Fournier

Your event identity · Saturday, the seventeenth of October

Your colours

Warm Ivory#F4EDE0 The ground of everything. Roughly seven-eighths of every piece.
Ivory Deep#EFE7D6 The quieter ivory — the envelope liner, the shadowed edge of the paper.
Bistre#3A3128 Every word a guest has to read. Never a true black — it has warmth in it.
Ink Soft#4A463E Secondary rules and the faintest lines.
Antique Gold#B08D57 Gilding and the ampersand only — gold used the way candlelight uses it. It never carries words.
Bordeaux#6B1F2A Spent exactly once, on the sealing wax. That restraint is what makes it land.

Your typefaces

Éléonore & Maximilien
Bodoni Moda — used for your names, for venue and dish names, and for the cipher. It is the face you asked for, and it is the one that makes the suite feel engraved.
Saturday, the seventeenth of October
Cardo — used for every formal line, date, label and caption, always in widely-spaced capitals. It is the quiet voice behind the display face.

Two faces, and only two. A third would break the spell.

Your mark

Your grandmother's laurel, drawn as an 18th-century engraver would have cut it — an open sprig with distinct leaves, never a closed wreath and never a border. It appears once on every piece, small, the way an engraver signs a plate. The one place it does not appear is the invitation itself: there, the E&M cipher takes the whole card, and the laurel steps back so the cipher can be the thing you remember.

How to use it

This is your event's visual identity. If you make anything yourselves — a welcome sign, a printed programme, a note to a vendor — use these exact colours and these two faces, and keep the laurel to one appearance per piece. Everything will keep feeling like one event. Two things to hold to: the gold never carries words a guest has to read, and the Bordeaux appears once and only once.
