Embossed Swirl Pocketfold Set

Justin and Danielle were my first couple to go for these super elegant embossed pocketfolds. They choose the swirl design in a black metallic square pocketfold. The design integrates perfectly with the embossed pocketfold for a unified look and I used an elegant flourished font to accent all the swirls.

Purple, Pink & Brown Pocketfolds

I just posted the save-the-dates for Julie and Don and here is their coordinating wedding invitation set. I customized the front of the pocketfold with guest names to serve as the inner envelope. I also used all the same cardstocks and colors as the save-the-dates for consistency. I'm working on menus now for the reception that will also coordinate.

Julie & Don's Save the Dates - Tying the Knot

Julie and Don chose this beautiful set of colors for a fall wedding - deep chocolate brown, warm metallic punch pink and a light metallic purple. We used this simple design element which will later be brought into their invitations and menus. I tied a ribbon around the save-the-date since they are "tying the knot!" Lastly, we did dark brown envelopes with a metallic envelope wrap.

Seating Charts

Seating Charts are becoming the new trend for seating arrangements at weddings. Reduce the clutter on the tables by getting rid of placecards and present one beautiful sign. Now don't envision an ugly diagram with tables drawn out...these are designed to match your wedding (colors, fonts, graphics). I make them 36" x 24" which fits into a standard frame, which I suggest buying at AC Moore or Michael's when there is sale or a coupon. Here are a few examples of seating charts I've recently done.

Floral Bridal Shower Invitations

I created these bridal shower invitations for my sister-in-law Laura. I used recycled yellow cardstock that matched her wedding invitations and chose this simple flower graphic, which suits her personality perfectly and added the graphic on the envelopes too. I also designed matching thank you notes with the envelopes already addressed to save the bride lots of time!

Pocketfold Invitations - Vibrant Fall Leaves

I just posted Cindy and Jeff's save-the-dates and here is their pocketfold set. We used all the same graphics, cardstocks, and fonts for consistency. I just love the vibrant colors of this set. We created two sets of "the plan" and RSVP cards as some included the rehearsal dinner and a day after breakfast for some guests. I added leaves on the envelopes to give guests a hint as to what was inside.

Save-the-dates - Vibrant Fall Leaves

I started working with Cindy and Jeff months ago on their save-the-dates, which I finally got a chance to photograph. I created a Z-card style which included fun cartoon like images telling everyone of the wedding events. We used a calendar indicate the date. Invitations coming next...stay tuned.

Butterfly Invitations - Jaime-Rita & Mike

Jaime-Rita didn't have much of an idea of what she wanted for a design during her consult until I started to ask some questions...then I realized she loves butterflies. Done! I found this simple, graceful butterfly graphic.

We pulled in greens and browns with a simple white cardstock. I added a green backer to the RSVP card to add a punch of color. Shimmery tan envelope liners added a touch of elegance and I added the butterfly all over the envelopes to tie it together.

For the wedding, I did long, skinny programs and a seating chart.

Going to the National Stationery Show!

Tomorrow morning, my husband and I head to New York City for the National Stationery Show. We'll be scouring the exhibit hall to find new vendors and products to add to my line. I'll be sure to post anything new I find when I come back... and maybe I'll find some time soon to take photos of all the work I've done this year. I've been a bad blogger!

Jennifer & Hannes - Bilingual Wedding Invitations

I worked with Jennifer & Hannes months ago to create these very unique, personal invitations and forgot to post them. They are planning a wedding in Germany, so we did bilingual invitations. The castle they are getting married at is beautiful and they wanted to incorporate it into the design. We started with an abstract design, but when Hannes' father, an architect, saw the designs, he asked if he could do the drawings. So, we changed all the illustrations and he did all the drawings by hand. They came out incredible.
