April Invitation(s) of the month

So it seems, April was the busiest month for weddings so far this year (outside of the typically busy months - May, June etc). October is another unusually busy month this year because of day 10/10/10, phew!!!

So, instead of the usual 1 invitation, I have chosen 3 invitations to showcase (Woohoo!!!)

~Carolina & Evan~

I met Carolina & Evan at the end of 2009 and we began working on the invitations thereafter. We initially talked about doing a multiple layered Flat Card. Carolina new she definitely wanted the Dupioni Silk ribbon instead of the usual satin ribbon and she wanted to incorporate a pearl accent as well. The pearl, I wasn't too sure of initially because I didn't want to "overdo" the embellishing but it worked out great. After the initial consultation, Carolina came to the Bridal Extravaganza and told me she wanted to change from the flat card to a pocketfold (lol). So, we went with that. Carolina & Evan's invitation has a lot of textured and pattern elements, you'll notice some of the cardstock we used were also textured, the dupioni silk ribbon has texture to it and the print was done in thermography. She loved her paisley pattern which we incorporated on the front tab of the pocket fold as well as the invitation envelope. Carolina & Evan will be married next week at Paraiso Maravilla in Houston, Texas and I'm truly excited for them; they're such a lovely couple!

Next is Yolanda & Arnold.

I was introduced to the couple through their wedding planner -Renee Miller with Distinctive Events Inc. They started the invitation process a bit later than usual - end of January but we pulled through and everything came out beautifully. The invitations were pocket fold style accented with a Satin Ribbon. Their monogram was carried through the other wedding stationery.

~Obi & DJ~

When Obi contacted me about invitations for her wedding, she knew she wanted something different from the usual but had not seen "it" yet. So, I had her come in and she immediately fell in love the "Kyla & Justin's" invitations. So, we began the process. It was truly a pleasure working with her and her wedding was one of the few client weddings I've attended!. It was nice seeing all the stationery elements come together and get great feedback from other guests at the wedding on how pretty the wedding stationery was.
