Emily and Arin's Save the Dates

I have to share these custom Save the Dates!  Emily and I designed the monogram, paper layers and fonts to create a truly unique one of a kind announcement for their November wedding.  We used pewter, tangerine and red colors with a milkweed top layer and envelopes with gray flecks in it.  I know I speak for Emily that we are proud of how these turned out.  Can't wait to work on the wedding invitations!  What a fun couple...
If you are planning an early 2013 wedding its not too early to get working on Save the Dates!

Jessica and Noah's wedding

My third wedding last weekend was on Sunday May 20th at Whitehall House & Gardens.  Jessica and Noah tied the knot in a beautiful outdoor ceremony without a cloud in the sky.  Carol Grisanti coordinated the festivities and Wayne from In Bloom Again did the flowers.   Again, we played off the colors of the wedding invitation which were eggshell and black with a touch of red which are featured in an earlier blog.  The escort cards were ivory and black with black ink and the table numbers were done with a background of "Clair de Lune" which Jessica's brother played during the ceremony on a grand piano that was brought in just for the ceremony!  The programs were designed with the "F" initial we used for the top of the wedding invitations and tied with a black satin bow.  They were exquisite!  I was honored to help Jessica and her mom with all the wedding papers and attend the wedding as a guest!  Congratulation to you both!!

Rosemary Beach wedding of Charissa and Wes

Charissa and Wes were married on May 18th in Rosemary Beach, FL.  We designed these placecards that were placed at each guests placesetting.  We kept with the neutral colors that we used for the pocket invitations that are featured on an earlier blog.  Best wishes to Charissa and Wes!

Marcella and Daniel's wedding

These are Marcie and Daniel's wedding programs for their May 18th Friday evening wedding in Southern Indiana.  We played off their beautiful custom four-layer wedding invitations with the colors of gray, pewter and soft pink.  We used soft pink paper with pewter ink and ribbon for the programs and they turned out great!  Congratulations to Marcie and Daniel!

Jacquie and Matt

Also, this week I mailed Jacquie and Matt's letterpress invitations for their July 14th wedding at The Gillespie.  Great care and time were taken to select these extra-thick letterpress invites.  Jacquie chose black ink for the text and copper ink for their names and accents throughout the invitation set.  The more common way of sending invitation now is to include the Rehearsal Dinner invitation in the set and use a dual response card where those guests can rsvp for both events.  A regular response set was sent to those guests coming to the wedding and reception.  Jacquie, her mom, Linda and Matt are a such nice folks and I have enjoyed working with them for about 6 months on all the paper for their wedding.  Can't believe it is 8 weeks away now!

Margaret and Nick

This week I mailed invitations selected by Margaret and Nick back in January.  She chose a traditional ivory invitation with a pearl and embossed border and black thermography ink.  She included a rsvp set, reception card and detailed accommodations card in a double envelope set.  This classy invitation set made a beautiful package with hand-written calligraphy and gave guests all the information they needed to attend this mid-July wedding.  I look forward to doing programs, menu card and escort cards and incorporating Margaret and Nick's blue and ivory colors.

1,031 Envelope sets addressed last week!

Yes, that's right...1,031 envelopes (some singles and some doubles) were addressed last week!  Six customers invitations were successfully addressed, assembled and hand-canceled for late June to
 mid-July weddings.  For brides that brought me envelopes and I did not do their invitations will be back for escort cards, programs, menu cards and many more beautiful projects for their wedding.  If you are reading this blog and got your invitations through another vendor (you should have used me and saved 20%!)  and want me to help with those projects feel free to contact me!
