Happy New Year! I hope your year is off to a fabulous start! While things have been rather quiet here on the blog, things have been busy busy behind the scenes. I am gearing up for some really lovely weddings and some amazing branding projects for 2013. But it’s about this time of year that I really start to longing for summer, so I thought that I would pop in to share some photos of a wedding invitation project I worked on last summer for a lovely couple.
Alissa and Alan were married in August in a small intimate, backyard wedding ceremony with a Mediterranean feel, designed by Finch and Thistle Events. Alissa was so sweet to work with and I love the final product. The invitations feature a watercolor olive branch wreath with the couple’s monogram. The invitation and reply card were digitally printed on soft white card stock. I love the infusion of summer color with bright green envelopes, white calligraphy lettering (done by yours truly) and vintage postage. I love the simplicity of the invitation set. Congratulations Alissa and Alan; it was a pleasure working on your paper goods!
Earlier this week I was featured on Style Me Pretty with some of my lovely friends. I was over the moon with every detail of this inspiration shoot, shot at Bob’s Corn Maze and Pumpkin Farm. It was shot by my incredibly talented friend Chantal Andrea, seriously her photography eye is amazing. It was styled and all the floral was done by my new sweet, lovely, talented friend Rachel from Finch and Thistle Events, if you are looking for a florist/event stylist book her, I would unreservedly trust her with my wedding…(and that’s saying a lot)… The food was provided by a local Seattle favorite Ravishing Radish and yes, it was as yummy as it looks. The makeup (and model styling) by Jenny Bowker was also so beautiful. What a fun day with some talented professionals….
And of course all the paper goods were designed by me. I was finally able to properly showcase the beautiful white calligraphy I have been playing around with. Also, I love the details like the plaid on the back of all the paper pieces…it’s those small details that are so important. Check out some more of my work from the shoot below. Like what you see? Contact me, I would love to chat with you about your project!
I recently worked on a custom invitation set for Rebecca and Adam. They were married labor day weekend in Sun Valley, Idaho. I love their simple, classic style. The invitations are a beautiful rich navy blue and burgundy red. I also created a rehearsal dinner invitation to reflect their ceremony invitation design. One of my favorite pieces of their wedding paper are the vintage table numbers created from vintage postcards. I love the way they turned out. I loved working with these two. It’s great when the invitations turn out but it’s equally as wonderful to meet new friends!
