{ Real Wedding } Megan & David :: 07.28.12

Megan and David were married at the historic Majestic Theater in Gettysburg, PA.

Instead of bringing in their own color scheme, they decided to play up the colors of the theater. Deep crimson, black and ivory made a beautiful, elegant combination. A small scroll detail was incorporated to mimic the ornate floor and ceiling in the theater.

The theme was carried throughout the stationery, including programs (not shown), menus, place cards, table numbers and welcome bag stickers.

Erin and Tanner celebrated their wedding back on July 6th. Their purple and lime green stationery was really eye-catching. My favorite piece was their large seating board, which has become quite popular in lieu of individual seating cards.

Congratulations to Erin & Tanner!  I am now working with Erin's brother and future SIL to create their April invitations!

Lamanda and Ryan had a gorgeous, elegant (and very pink) wedding and reception at Regents' Glen Box Hill Mansion this past June.

Lamanda is a such sweet person and I really enjoyed working with her to design the invitations and matching pieces. She was genuinely so excited!  Everything pulled together beautifully. Their wedding was even featured in a recent issue of Dream Weddings magazine.

Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Mills!

I met Natalie and William in February and they were in a pinch to get their invitations out the door on time. Natalie loved Lauren and Martin's classic style invitation (black & ivory) but wanted to change the colors to fit their wedding.

This is a great example of my semi-custom design option. The semi-custom option allows you to take one of my invitation design and change the colors, papers and wording to fit your wedding. The fonts and artwork stays as-is.

I decided to offer this option starting in 2012 after several requests of the same invitation. It's great if your time-frame doesn't allow for the full custom invitation option.

Cheers to Natalie and William!

{ Real Wedding } Lauren & Brian May 19th, 2012

Lauren and Brian had to be the busiest couple I've ever worked with. Both of them were in law school, Lauren graduated only a couple of weeks before the wedding!

Since their profession is a huge accomplishment and such an important part of their lives together, Lauren and Brian decided to subtly incorporate it into their wedding invitation by using their last names and logo similar to a law firm "Willis & Hokamp".

A number of other items were designed to coordinate, including: menus, place cards, table numbers and stickers. They also had me design a 20 page cook book featuring Rose's (Lauren's mom) amazing cookie recipes. Rose made all of the cookies for a dessert table so guests could take some home along with a cook book. What a special touch. The details of this wedding were carefully thought-out and came together beautifully. No doubt that their guests were impressed!

The wedding was absolutely gorgeous. A bunch of my favorite vendors also collaborated for this wedding including Weddings by JDK and Jasmine at Couture Cakery.

Congrats to "Willis & Hokamp"!

One of my favorite stationery sets of 2012! Jane and Ken celebrated their wedding on May 19th.  A church wedding followed by an intimate reception at The Altland House, surrounded by their close family and friends.

Jane was a dream to work with. She was loved the idea of having all of the stationery details match from beginning to end!

The invitation was designed using shades of cornflower blue and ivory. A peony theme was perfect for the spring season. The theme was carried through other stationery including programs, place cards, table numbers, menus, favor tags and thank you notes. Jane loves her "bling" so rhinestones were an important touch added to almost each stationery item.

Congratulations to this sweet couple!

I had the honor of working with Camille and her lovely mom, Christine on this gorgeous, vibrant wedding stationery. Christine and Camille are Jamaican decent and wanted to incorporate the hibiscus flower (the national flower). The pocket invitation was done in a bright lemon yellow with accents of deep persimmon and orange. The invitation and inserts were printed on metallic Opal paper for added touch of sparkle.

Matching programs, place cards, table cards, menus were also created to carry the theme throughout the wedding and reception. The table cards were named after cities in Jamaica for that extra special detail.

Loved working with these two beautiful ladies,  I can't wait to see some photos from the wedding!!

Karyn and Tyler are my first 2012 couple and my very first January wedding (ever)!

I met with Karyn and Tyler at the end of last summer, Tyler was just back from deployment. They were an adorable couple, obviously in love and excited about planning their winter wedding. They decided a square silver pocket with merlot and deep purple accents. A couple of rhinestones were added for a touch of winter sparkle.

Summer may be wedding season, but I am loving couples like Karyn and Tyler who are willing to step out of the box. Winter weddings offer great benefits: discounted venue rates, wedding professional are often not as busy and can offer more attention, and just think of all of the awesome color combinations and decor ideas!

Best wishes to Karyn and Tyler on a wonderful winter (maybe white?) wedding day!
