New Invitation Designs

Megan and Chilobe
I met Megan originally at the July Bridal Extravaganza. I met with her a 2nd time with her wedding planner, Samantha Darr of Soiree Bliss. I must say I was a bit nervous meeting with Samantha, because she’s up there with the top Wedding Planners in Houston . We worked for a several months to create her fabulous wedding invitations. The inspiration was from Lauren and Dave’s wedding invitation. It features a Side Pocket Fold with a Vellum belly band. The print method used was Thermography (raised ink). Enjoy…



ARIELLE’s 18th BIRTHDAY
I met Arielle and her parents at the January Bridal Extravaganza. They fell in love with the Deji & Aleydis style invitation. Once we had our consultation after the show, we pretty much knew what the layout was. We just need to decide on the colors and design. The invitation features a Gate Fold accented with Satin Ribbon and Swarovski Crystal. We used the flat print method for the invites. Enjoy…




DEJI & ALEYDIS
I met with Deji and Aleydis the week following Hurricane Ike. Aleydis loved the invitations she saw in the online gallery with Rhinestones etc. So, she knew she wanted to incorporate that into the invitations somehow. Using their wedding colors of Red and Gold, we created this gorgeous invitation ensemble. Because the wedding is in Puerto Rico , where the couple lives and they have family from different cultures, they wanted half of the invitations in English and the other half in Spanish. The invitation features a Gate Fold accented with Satin Ribbon and Swarovski Crystals. We used the flat print method for the invites. Enjoy…

More to come in the coming week. Enjoy the rest of the week!

Our Professional Pictures by Bedazzled Photography

Hello again,
The wedding season is definitely here! Hence, I haven’t been able to update the blog as often as I should. Feb and March have been especially tasking in working on May Weddings. There seem to be a whole lot of May weddings this year.

First, I’d like to thank everyone who voted for us in the KRPC Local 2’s best of Houston . We were in the top 5 best in the Wedding Invitations Category! WOOHOO!!!!!

A couple of months ago, I received an email from Ayesha at Bedazzled Photography to take some pictures of our invitations. I was superexcited. I’ve always admired Ayesha’s artistic eye in photography and love her crisp, vibrant and clean shots. Like I told her, she’s one of the few photographers I have on my favorites list; so I was definitely stoked. However, because of the craziness of the wedding season, it took a while to ship the invitations to New York but we finally did it! Here are some pictures… there’s more in our online gallery. You can check out Ayesha’s work on her website http://www.bedazzledphotography.com/ and her blog www.bedazzledphotography.com/blog
