We adapted it in rustic burnt orange for their Indian wedding, alongside the blue version. Our Kerala and Karnataka work includes Kathakali headgear, Nandi bulls, and elephants. Process images show the illustrated motifs before they become part of the suite. Other invitations use South Indian architectural and floral references. Pichwai-inspired details also recur across our work. We love finding the little elements that connect a design to the people celebrating! Custom illustration is evidenced across these pieces, without implying that every element of every project follows one fixed process. ## About Kiana We are Kiana, an invitation and stationery design studio in Bengaluru. We love giving cultural references a personal place in a couple's design.
