Portico
Ivory doors swing open onto a tropical garden.
About Portico
Portico begins at a pair of ornamental ivory doors framed by burgundy florals. As guests step forward, both doors turn on their outer hinges, the light shifts across the panels and the garden beyond comes into view. The invitation that follows is arranged in arches: ceremony and reception cards, a romantic dress-code section and a five-step travel form.
How it opens
Your names rest on the closed ivory doors beneath burgundy florals.
The wording clears and both doors begin to open on their outer hinges.
Light falls across the turning panels as the view moves through the doorway.
The garden opens out and the invitation settles in place.
