Andrea’s future mother in law contacted me to do the seating chart for her son’s wedding. What was so fun about this chart is that it was of course, a seating chart. But the ultimate location? On their dining room wall! They just bought a new house and they wanted this to be the artwork […]
I was thrilled when Jackie contacted me. She is in one of the most expensive invitation markets in the country – New York City. She had gotten crazy outrageous quotes for custom invitations when she found me. We ended up doing one of my most lavish invitations – a complete set of letterpress invitations, with […]
Jackie has my most formal invitations of the year (see her post above). Even her Save the Dates were formal. For the rehearsal, she wanted to do something VERY fun. the dinner is at Adobe Grill in Chicago and she wanted to do a Margarita theme! I chose these brilliant green envelopes with yellow liners. […]
Black is becoming my favorite color scheme. No matter the design, the colors are stunning and classic. Megan’s very modern iris graphic is another example of this. I did her candle and table numbers. But the best piece is the wedding seating chart that I did white on black.
Molly wanted something fun and funky for her rehearsal dinner invitations. Her wedding and invitations are so formal, she really wanted something to tell her guests this was a fun affair. She also wanted to do a combination rehearsal dinner and brunch invitation. I had these fun aqua blue z-folds on hand and I asked […]
Monica’s reception is going to be gorgeous. She is a great example that the invitations don’t have to match the reception. Her L shaped invitations are one of my favorites of the year. But her reception is going to be hot pink! We did lots of extras – gorgeous hot pink programs with tons of […]
Lindsay had asked me to make her seating chart months ago. Then her mom asked if I could make a new style program. These are cardstock long programs with a decorative silk ribbon. They turned out great and match her apple green chart perfectly.
Elizabeth’s invitations were a fun change – a premarried monogram with an ornament. When designing the extras pieces, I took that simple theme and used it on all of the pieces. Her seating chart is little different size for me as she is mounting it on a mirror! And this is my first seating chart […]
Meredith had fun swirls and dots on her wedding invitations and I used them on her two items – the table numbers and seating chart. Her bold colors of red, pink and orange are all subtly represented in the monogram and the swirls.
Sarah is a French major and her fiance a firefighter. She contacted me before she even had a date set and mentioned her idea to combine the two and do a fleur-de-lis theme for her invitation. I kept my eye out for graphics and found this beautiful fleur-de-lis that has a leaf idea going on […]
I’ve been talking to Anne for a year. I’d seen her plotted plants in my email box for months. Somehow in my sleepy state last week, I had a vision of her placecards being little flags. I found decorative tooth picks and made these crazy little flags. Her table numbers feature her menu in a […]
One of my brides told me about Aletha and her amazing blog a few months ago. I’ve been an avid reader of her blog at Pearl Events ever since. I love Aletha’s style and her ideas are amazing. I hope I get to work on more weddings with her in the coming years. Anyone on […]
Jennifer will be tattooed with Henna for her Indian Ceremony. She wanted love birds for her wedding invitations. You can read the story about the “a” in that post. When designing the reception items, I wanted to be sure that the special “a” was included. Their monogram came from that – neither name had an […]
Lora had one of my more challenging weddings this year. Everything we have done, her Save the Dates, Wedding invitations and now every item at the wedding and reception, has been in both English and German. The most challenging were the 8 page programs and menus. But what could be more custom than two sets […]
Marcy’s booklet invitations were one of my favorites of the year. Her reception items – especially the seating chart- continue to be among my favorites. I love this simple style program with a printed sleeve jacket. The menus and table numbers are beautiful and stylish, but don’t complete with her lavish table setup. I was […]
