Katie loved any invitation with birds on it – as do I. Katie contacted me last summer to design her invitations. Since then she had sent me dozens of images of invitations that she liked. If it had a bird and was letterpress, she loved it. So coming up with the invitation was a challenge […]
I have been anticipating these invitations since last July when Nicole first contacted me. She asked if I could do a library theme wedding invitation for her upcoming wedding at the Newberry Library in Chicago. The concept was totally new to me – to make an invitation look like something completely different than a wedding […]
Kayley’s shower invitations follow her overall vintage lace theme. The soft colors add a feminine touch and the lace is the perfect element to show guests the elegance of the event.
Gayane and Armen are friends of Sosi’s and fell in love with her dual-language invitations. They asked me to create something very similar for their July wedding. Gayane and Armen chose a floral pattern for their set. I designed the top vellum layer in Armenian and the English on the invitation below. Together you can […]
Indre’s invitations are one my favorites this year because of the significance of the Ruta herb to Indre and Marius. Her wedding reception items all have the Ruta herb. I’m truly going to miss this invitation suite and working with Indre. 🙂 I designed table numbers that are more simple due to the fact that […]
Caitlin has the most wonderful theme for her invitations – Chandeliers and Damask! She sent me this photo of her china from 222 Fifth by Belle Maison. She asked if I could use these and her damask print for inspiration. The other really fun thing about Cailin’s invitations is the white on black printing. I’m […]
I figured this post could help lots of brides out there. Zazzle now has $0.44 available. For all of you June brides, this is perfect timing so you can get the correct postage on your response cards. Here’s a coupon too. It’s only $1 off a sheet so their may be better coupons out there. […]
Maggie is another of Misty from Bells and Bliss’ clients. Misty sent me information about Maggie’s wedding and told me that the centerpieces were to be all purple flowers and GRAPES! I can’t wait to see the photos.Even though the invitation has the grape graphic, all of the other pieces have a coordinating scroll or […]
I worked with Misty from Bells and Bliss on these adorable wedding shower invitations. Marla wanted something fun and purple. I used this flower graphic with sweet little butterflies swirling around the flowers. The envelopes have the little butterfly flying around the return address.
Jennifer is having a gorgeous taupe and deep sage green wedding. She wanted something very vintage & classic and LOVED letterpress. Jennifer sent me this photo of her wedding dress for inspiration. The letterpress invitations use a very formal graphic that follows the same shape as her dress and the same floral inspiration in the […]
Gina asked if I could also design her rehearsal dinner invitations. We talked about making them an insert in her wedding invitations. But when she mentioned she wanted a barbeque theme, there was no way I was putting BBQ in her butterfly invitations. 🙂 So these were designed as a totally separate piece. The gingham […]
Gina was reading the Woman’s Wear Daily issue about Fashion Week 2009 and noticed that butterflies were everywhere in spring fashion this year. Diane Von Furstenberg, Koi Suwannagate (2nd and 3rd), Badgley Mischka, Tibi Gina loved the idea of incorporating butterflies into her invitations. Then she fell in love with these butterfly plates from John […]
I started talking to Julie about her design last December. She knew that she wanted something vintage, but she was loving damask. She also said “There is somewhat a french gardens (tulleries) theme to the wedding if that helps. So, I guess I like a more antique damask rather than anything super modern.” I suggested […]
You may remember that I posted Chicago skyline save the dates last week. Want to know something ironic? Dena and Beth contacted me on the same day, within hours of each other. Their weddings are both on October 24th and they both loved Heather’s Chicago skyline wedding invitations. But Dena’s save the date ended up […]
When Tanisha contacted me, she really wanted the location to come out in the theme of her wedding. She mentioned Los Angeles, “The City of Angels” a number of times. She wanted a unique response on the rsvp card and she mentioned that along the whole “Angel” idea, they were having some heavenly elements at […]
