yes...it's been quite a while since i've blogged. the past year has gone so fast and it has been a very busy one! so many celebrations have come and gone. the invitations have flown out at a fast and furious pace:) before any more time elapses i have a few photos to share.
today's post is about the wedding of the daughter of a long-time friend and "supporter". it is always wonderful to be a part of making some one's wedding dreams a reality and working on this wedding was extra special. i first met liz years ago when we were both volunteers for various school organizations. she was one of my first clients and i've had the pleasure of working on numerous invitations from surprise birthday parties and 50th wedding anniversaries to bridal showers with her. so when she asked me to help with carly and jason's wedding stationery i was thrilled. the couple wanted a traditional and elegant invitation in their color palette of black, cream and soft champagne gold. a simple floral swish in those colors paired with the beautiful layered papers set the tone for the stationery suite we created. carly did a great job with her diy invitations which i'm told her guests loved. using that design basis we proceed to create custom table signs, placecards, signage for the photo tables, buffet table menus, and programs. the family also created hotel gift bags for their out of town guests which contained homemade goodies (made by the brides grandparents and aunt) packaged with custom tags and assembled by liz and a group of her friends. this is one very crafty and talented family.
one amusing note...just as i thought we had the invitation wrapped up and ready to print carly decided she wanted to try a different script font for their names. she was surprised to learn that the font they ultimately chose had been selected several years earlier for her maternal grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary invitation...i guess good taste runs in the family!
special thanks to cindi and lorenzo bartone of cinzo photography for sharing their beautiful images...love their work!
