New Save the Date

I am anticipating this wedding because it is one of my best friends and I am thrilled to see her so happy and to be a part of her special day, oh AND getting married in Hawaii doesn't hurt either :-) We went with a coral theme to bring in the wedding destination of Hawaii for those that can't be there, they are having a California reception.  It's been fun looking at different decoration and design ideas.  More to come...

Wedding Save the Date Ideas

Two of my best friends are getting married this year and they are both having destination weddings.  I have the privilege to help with the creative process and design their save the dates.  To keep with a beach theme I was inspired by coral, I love the shape and the design freedom that natural coral has to offer.  There are so many things that you can do with it and incorporate into design. 

The hibiscus flower is also an inspiration since the wedding will be in Hawaii.  I wanted to use this flower in a different non traditional way and not something that is expected.  The flower is so vibrant and screams tropics and beach.  I am looking forward to these new design projects.

Wedding Invitation Design

I had the privilege of designing Shannon and Ricky's wedding invitations and table numbers.  She had the cutest idea of incorporating names of places or memories that her and the groom Ricky had as they were dating.  We were seated at the U.S. Open table and were able to read a little story that was displayed of how Shannon bought U.S. Open Golf tickets and she wanted to surprise Ricky for his birthday so she put a golf tee in a ring box found Ricky on the golf course while he was playing and got on one knee.  As Ricky began freaking out he opened the ring box to find the golf tee and was surprisingly relieved. 

The duo also sang to each other right after the I do's, it was such a great performance and the next youtube sensation. Such a beautiful wedding and I was fortunate to be a part of it.  I pray for many blessings in your marriage you two.  Congrats!

A week in the studio ~ wedding invitations

Happy Thursday, soon it will be the 3 day weekend:-) and the end of summer :-( I am actually looking forward to a little change, it's always nice to feel that first brisk breeze of fall.

Here are some wedding invitation concepts that I have been working on for a client. We have yet to find the chosen one. I just thought it would be fun to share what has been going on in the studio this week, I have more inspiration and I am ready to run with it to create some new designs.

Wedding Season

Tis the season of weddings. Last weekend I was invited to 2 weddings for 2 good friends. I came up with the design below to congratulate them on their happiness. This is a 5.5" x 4" folded card ~ blank inside.
