Wedding Invitation Card Design

work wednesday: kristel closets.

kristel closets, inc. is an image consulting + personal shopping agency owned by megan kristel. with offices in philadelphia and the washington d.c. area, they service clients throughout pennsylvania, new jersey, delaware, maryland and virginia. they provide individual/corporate closet and wardrobe edits and personal styling/shopping services for both men and women. the well dressed woman is their monthly workshop held in their ardmore, pennsylvania studio. if that isn't enough, megan also has her own blog the well dressed life!

when megan came to us she already had the existing logo for kristel closets, inc. she was in the process of starting a training branch of the company, style maker university. this is where she would teach aspiring stylists the fundamentals of earning a living in the styling/personal shopping world. in addition, we designed a logo for megankristel.com (launching soon!) which will be the umbrella company for both kristel closets, inc. and style maker university.

megan wanted her new logos to reflect the look of the existing mark for kristel closets, inc. she wanted the style to be simple, clean, modern and orange!

so inspired: the philadelphia flower show.

hope everyone enjoyed their weekend! i (chey) spent sunday afternoon surrounded by palms, orchids, and the sound of relaxing hawaiian music at the philadelphia flower show. the flower show has always been a favorite past time of mine and this year's theme was hawaii. the most impressive exhibits greeted you as you walked in the door -- a favorite of mine was the towering tropical plant canopy (middle left). can you imagine walking down the wedding aisle beneath this?! another favorite was this tropical ombre table runner (above) by sullivan owen for 'a wedding in the park', a collaboration with starr events. what a gorgeous way to dress up your head table or couple's table.

if you're local i recommend stopping by the show during a week day to avoid some of the crowds. you'll be rewarded with the most beautiful saturated colors and amazing scents that will do wonders for your winter blues!
