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 […]
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 […]
Caitlin wanted a pretty silhouette of wildflowers on all of her wedding pieces. I designed her Save the Date magnets and she loved them so much she said “I LOVE THEM. I want to stick them to every single magnetic surface that I see!!!”So when it came time to do the invitations, we were all […]
Lorraine came to me with the new trend in weddings – inspiration boards. She had seen this wedding in Martha Stewart Weddings and wanted many of the same elements at her own wedding. The invitation is one that she had found five years ago and the business is long gone. She REALLY wanted the look […]
I want to try to do something different this season and show the process for the invitation design. It’ll be a lot of extra blogging so we’ll see how long it lasts. 😉 Rebecca contacted me to make her invitations for her upcoming April wedding. When we were talking about the design, Rebecca sent me […]
There are some invitations that when they are done, I catch my breath when I look at the final product – and then get a giddy grin on my face! These were definitely one of those. Amy contacted me AGES ago about doing ice blue printing on brown cardstock. I talked to three printers, saw […]
I’ve got a ton of new products coming out and this is one of them! I can now do my own save the date magnets and other magnets! Kellie is another bride from It’s a Shore Thing . I love Kellie’s entire package. Kellie will have quotes all over her entire wedding. This one, from […]
I just posted Jennifer’s Destination wedding invitations last week. Since most people won’t be able to attend the wedding, they are also doing a reception at home. We did the same design, but did something more subdued with colors. I did my first panel with the back side completely a different color. We did keep […]
I loved working on these amazingly fun invitations. The colors are fresh and different and definitely reflect the beach, palm tree destination wedding Jennifer was going for, without being “here’s a palm tree on my invitation”. I used brown palm leaf patterned cardstock and layered it with sea blue. I printed a matching graphic across […]
Since Jennifer told me her color combination – blue and red – I’ve been anticipating these invitations. When we first talked about it, she said she wanted red backing with white invitation printed with blue accents. But white really isn’t in her color combination and, to me, adding white makes the invitations patriotic. So I […]
