Overview

The Davies Wedding Map was created as part of a wider set of materials for a wedding, designed to help guide guests through the locations and moments that made up the day.

Rather than relying on a standard map or directions, the aim was to create something more personal, a piece that could both inform and act as a keepsake.

The focus here was on capturing the setting in a way that felt clear, characterful, and tailored specifically to the couple.

Process

The starting point was understanding the flow of the day, how guests would move between locations, what landmarks were important, and what details would help make the map both useful and memorable.

From there, the map was built up through illustration, balancing accuracy with a slightly more relaxed, expressive style. The intention wasn’t to create a technical map, but something that felt approachable and easy to follow at a glance.

Key locations were highlighted and simplified, allowing the overall composition to feel clean while still containing enough detail to guide people through the journey. Small touches and visual cues were introduced to give the piece personality, helping it feel connected to the day rather than purely functional.

Outcome

The final map works as both a practical guide and a keepsake from the day.

It provides guests with a clear sense of direction, while also capturing the atmosphere and setting in a way that feels personal to the couple. More than just a set of instructions, it becomes something that can be held onto and revisited, long after the day itself.

As part of the wider wedding materials, it sits comfortably alongside invitations and stationery, adding a layer of detail that helps bring the overall experience together.
