So I had the pleasure of creating a romantic, luxurious, just-the-right-amount of bling invitation for a dear close friend of mine! A bit of background on my friend: we have been friends since high school… those were the days… the 90′s- big hair, hot red nailpolish, and of course groupies. Our group – the ham heads! Don’t even ask. But since then, we have always stayed in touch. Years pass, and whenever we have a chance to press the pause button to meet up even for a cocktail, it seems like time hasn’t even moved since those days in school…. that is when you know you have a true friend.
So Janelle asked me to create her wedding invitation, and I was thrilled! We worked very hard to get the perfect combination of colors and textures for her, to set the tone of her gorgeous lush garden romance feel. The wedding was set at the Boojum Tree, which is one of the most unique places to have a wedding. The invitation is a smooth sand colored metallic pocketfold, and upon opening, reveals a soft pink shimmery floral textured cardstock. The inner card is matted with a darker sand, and the raised printing sits perfectly onto the premium ivory cardstock. The front of the invitation is adorned with coordinating patterns and a black satin ribbon that ties around the entire invitation. Now no item (per Janelle) is complete without crystals… so we added some soft pink crystals to the front and inside of the invitation. The pocket of the invitation was lined with the pink floral cardstock, and fit the two inserts snugly for their guests. Of course the fun doesn’t stop there! The invitation is placed into a matching envelope, lined with the pink floral paper, and then placed into an outer envelope, by which Janelle outsourced calligraphy for her addresses. Talk about a fabulous presentation for her gorgeous wedding!
I also created matching elements such as the bird cage sign, escort card signage, menus, and programs for her event.
Might I add, that I of course attended…. I attached some of my personally favorite photos…and we had an amazing time (even being over 5 months pregnant)! It was stepping into a romance novel. The flowers, the photobooth, the chandeliers, the CANDY TABLE (hello!). We had a great time, and best of all, I got to see my beautiful friend walk down the aisle with her gorgeous soul mate.
Love you hammie, I know you will have the happiest “ever after” ! :)

This simple and sassy invitation was created to match the bride’s wedding colors- Pink. After creating the couple’s wedding invitation, I was approached by the sister-in-law for some bridal shower invitations (which by the way, was an old friend from grade school!). The bride was fabulous and had quite the glam style…. which is reflected in this card.
The invitation is set on beautiful shimmery pink cardstock, with printed linen cardstock in pink and orange accents. The invitation showcases a beautiful handmade paper daisy, with a double ribbon accent in satin bubblegum pink and orange organza. Coordinating envelopes were included.
Customization of this invitation in any color is always available, so just inquire!

I was so excited to create such a unique invitation for this couple. From the very start she knew exactly what she was looking for, and these invitations sure were something to talk about! The outer invitation was accented with their monogram and a fun flirty purple feather and the inside gave a classy elegance with the patterned cardstock & style of the petal fold.  
 
It was my pleasure to create such fabulous invitations & I cannot wish more happiness upon Tara & Frank, and undoubtedly their exciting new path as husband & wife.

Often times than not, I get an email from a Bride, who trusts me so much, that they let me have free range on creating something personal and expressive of themselves.
They give me information, their style, and certain aspects of their vision that are important to them. I LOVE when I hit it- right on the target!
This invitation makes me feel like I am walking up to a fresh flower boutique, and bundling up my fresh daises with just a beautiful ribbon. The invitation is a gate fold,
accented with a guava cardstock and polka-dot orange ribbon. The monogram seal is accented with a handmade sparkle orange daisy.
So simple, but so fun and fresh.
I just adore this wedding invitation!
