Loved how this invitation turned out! Sarah and Josh were super-fun to work with and were open to anything and that made my job as designer a dream. Their wedding planner Michaela with
PLUSH is super-sweet and a workhorse on wedding day!
This post is all about the invite {their save the date was featured previously
here} and Part 2 will feature the reception paper and a cake topper that was sooooo much fun to create.
The invitation was pink, pink, pink and touches of antique and champagne gold. Little custom heart monogram to coordinate with the brand of the family ranch. LOVE that. The map had to be my favorite part with a little layout of the entire wedding location - complete with little pink barn animals here and there.
We used mainly metallic finish papers, because Sarah was all about the sparkle! Soooo much fun ... can't wait to share reception details.
Congrats {again!}, Sarah and Josh!!!

Congratulations Nicole & Ron!!

Since it's becoming ever more challenging to find time to shoot pics of my finished invites, I thought I would be able to share them a little faster by posting digital images of the fabulousness I have the pleasure of working on day-to-day! Although, you can't really see all the fine details {like crystals, hand glittering, etc.} of each invitation ... at least it's a little eye-candy to get your papery & design imagination flowin'.
One of my fav {and repeat!} clients, Karrianna, celebrated her 30th birthday in true Georgia style this past January. Nothing but an amazing Bollywood event would do for the always exuberant, Karri. I had the pleasure of creating an invitation for her closest group of girlfriends for a pre-birthday celebration brunch. Love, love.
Bright, gilded and over the top! Metallic papers, return & guest addressed envelope, folded card design, menu panel, again text inspired {it's soooo my thing!}, heavily embellished with gold hand-glittering, Swarovski crystals {I think we topped out at 14!}, double layered ribbon sash - it is a sight to behold.

Ahhh, my affinity for table cards. I'm not quite sure how it all started ... but, my thought is ... I spend hours, days, months laboring over hundreds {upon hundreds} of invitation suites at a time and then when it comes time to work on project of 20 or so table cards - I can really go to town on them!
The bling-yist of the them all last year, were my ever popular, Chandelier Table Cards.

I've been wanting to show these Panel (panel invitations with no pocket) back options for sometime. Thinking it really helps to see the same invite with different options for the back. Each little twist makes such a difference
Photo 1: invitation front
Photo 2: ribbon sash
Photo 3: ribbon knot
Photo 4: tailored Tiffany bow
Photo 5: ribbon sash with punched monogram panel
Photo 6: ribbon sash with flat monogram panel
Which is your favorite back?? Mine? The tailored Tiffany bow. I'm all about those little bows these days.

Hot summer wedding?? Fan programs are perfect. They serve as a nice touch on seating at the ceremony, provide an overview of the ceremony, a listing of the bridal party & processional (on reverse) and serve as a keepsake for your guests. Remember that not everyone will take a fan/program - I usually recommend counting up all the women, plus 15%. Example: If you have 100 guests, 75 are women - order about 85. Fan programs range from $5-15 each depending on quantity and embellishments.

Been super-busy with invites and it's been a month now since my last post!! Yikes. I had to put up these first birthday invites - they came out super cute. Not sure if you can see in the photographs but the icing on the ginger-girl is hand glued and glittered. Very time consuming - but the effect is sooo worth it!
The invitation is a 7x7 square, triple matte plus the invitation layer - 4 layers in all, hand glittering, Swarovski crystal, flat satin bow, custom printed envelope liner, classic & metallic papers and a custom printed envelope. Wow-y!!
This set of 25 ran: $15 each (plus sales tax and custom design fee of $85 for celebrations). Assemble it yourself and save more! I offer incremental discounts on all invitation packages, too. 100+ = 5%, 150+ = 10%, 200+ = 15%, 500+ = 20% and DIY (Do It Yourself) = 25%. Savings may appear even greater (on your invoice) than the incremental percentage since with custom printing there are charges at the printer that are incurred on each order.
This little invite posting is a reminder, too! The holidays are right around the corner ... order your holiday greetings now to ensure timely delivery. There are several signature designs for this year >>> look over to the menu on the right under HOLIDAY or we can create one uniquely you!!
You'll want to mail your holiday greetings to family and friends by the week of December 15th. If (you're like most of us) and wait until the last minute ... you can create a Happy New Years type greeting. If that is the case - those should go out the week of (or immediately following) Christmas. In any case, I'm booking up, so don't delay!!!

Katie & Chris' Maui themed wedding was flush with bright oranges, lime greens, earthy dark brown and a full palette of bright tropical colors. Color was the key inspiration of their save the date and invitation.
The wedding took place on the island of Maui with an intimate gathering of family and friends on August 21st. Just eight days later on the 29th they held a grand reception at Catta Verdera Country Club in Lincoln, California.
Don't you just love Katie's shoes?! I absolutely adore the bright pop of color she included with her shoes - they serve as a little surprise and really show her personality.
Congratulations, Katie & Chris!
