inspired to make every day, life + work stellar

I had the pleasure of designing my friend’s wedding invitation suite. Amy was looking for an invitation that was modern and had pops of color. Her wedding invitation suite including a main card with the ceremony information, a reception card, an accommodations/map card, RSVP card, and a custom belly band.

The invitations I design for my clients come with a custom monogram they can use to bring their wedding detail components together such adding their monogram on the photobooth photo templates, menu, program, etc.

A custom belly band was designed to hold the step sheets together.

The main envelope and RSVP envelopes were printed with the return address + wedding monogram.

Although you can’t see it, each sheet was printed on very thick, quality paper and the backing of the ceremony invitation was mounted on a shimmery cardstock.

A map with all the addresses to the wedding festivities was included as a courtesy to the guests. This map was hand drawn.

Really love the color combo she chose for her wedding. The hot pink with lime green {with orange details} against the black just pop!

Details. Details. Details.

I had the pleasure of attending Amy + Jack’s wedding. This invitation certainly set the tone; the wedding was vibrant + fun + the couple surprised their guest with the Spazmatics as part of the entertainment! Good times!

Congratulations Amy + Jack!

One of the projects I’m currently working on is my friend’s wedding invitation suite. I love the wedding colors she chose {champagne, fuschia, lime green, orange + black}. I already know her wedding is going to be so much fun!

In addition to designing + planning my sister’s wedding this past April {a re-cap post of the wedding will be coming soon!}, I had the pleasure of designing the wedding invitation suite as well.

I have a serious love affair for invitation books and accordion style invitations. I really love the idea of telling a story. Somehow I managed to convince my sister to go with an accordion style wedding invitation.

Donna wanted a spectrum of soft feminine colors so she went with a combination of peach pink and blush pink ombre. She wanted the look of her wedding to be romantic and wanted a touch of sparkles and hearts so we included cascading dots and scattered hearts on the bottom of the invitation to mimic “glitter”. Donna loves glittery things, but just enough to be sparkly cute and not over the top.

I came up with this initial board with a mock-up of different elements for the invitation + then digitally sent it to her for her review {elements included pink + peach color elements, kraft box, custom envelope liner with the cascading dots + hearts}.

The “ombre glitter” became the main design element and was duplicated on every wedding paper element from the escort cards to the church ceremony programs.

I enlisted calligrapher, Kathryn at Della Carta Studio to penn the calligraphy. She created the monogram {which literally went on everything!} as well as the titles on each panel of the invitation.

A special heart pocket made out of vellum paper was made to hold the RSVP card and envelope.

The accordion-style invitation laid on a bed of crinkled pink paper strips and was delivered in a kraft box. A custom address label was made to wrap around the box to secure the lid and love postal stamps adorned the outside of the box.

This was a dream project and I am so proud and love how the invitation turned out!
