Work [in progress]!

Hi Everyone!
Happy Monday...I hope you had a lovely weekend! Mine was spent working on invitations and a website re-design. As if it's not busy enough, I have decided to re-design our website. I love the current website however as technology advances, we have to change with it. Amongst other things, the new website will have better mobile capabilities so that we ipad and iphone users can view the site while Apple works out their Adobe Flash issues. In addition, it will be more user-friendly and I love the new gallery. I'm pretty excited about it. There's still some more tweaking to be done then I'll be done with it. I hope to launch the new website by the end of the month (fingers crossed!)
Here's a preview



Below are a few of the invitations we've worked on. Since I don't like to post invitations until after the wedding and most invitations are completed several months before the event, I sometimes have a difficult time deciding what photos to post :(

Natalie & Bob
I met with Natalie, her mom and wedding planner, Alia Rdissi (Belle of the Ball) sometime last year (We worked together for over a year on all the stationery items). We began work on the Save the date cards. We pretty much produced all the stationery for this event from the Save the date to the Thank you notes. I also got to work with Natalie's [now] mother in law on the Rehearsal Dinner stationery. This was such a special family to work with. The couple were married last weekend at the Houstonian Hotel, Club and Spa in Houston. I wish Natalie & Bob a very happy married life!

The Save the date card was a Double layer Flat card with the hotel accommodations at the back


Front and Back


The Wedding Invitation was a Pocket style with 3 enclosures.


The Enclosures - a custom map was done to detail the ceremony and reception locations as well as the hotels


Ceremony Program - Folded card with a Satin Ribbon accent


Table Card - Layered Flat card.


Tent Escort cards with couple's monogram


Signs for the different cupcake flavors for the Rehearsal Dinner


Escort Cards for the Rehearsal Dinner. Done slightly different from the Wedding reception escort cards


Circle Favor Stickers for the Rehearsal Dinner Crave cupcakes



Nicole & Rob
Nicole wanted to have a custom pattern created for her invitations and that's what we did :) We likes the damask pattern; which we incorporated into the invitations. Nicole and Rob were married last month at the gorgeous Bell Tower on 34th in Houston, Texas.

Her invitation was a Gatefold with the printed damask backing


The enclosures



Kelli & Diego
I met Kelli at the Bell Tower Bridal open house earlier this year. We later had a meeting with her Fiance, Diego. They are such a cute couple. She was a happy-go-lucky bride and was such a pleasure to work with! Kelli & Diego were married also at the Bell Tower on 34th last month

The invitation was a Layered Flat card with a Satin Ribbon and Rhinestone accents


We also created the ceremony programs


That's all for now; have a pleasant and productive week!
