Erin & Peter Pocket Invitations and Boarding Pass Save the dates

Hello Friends!
I hope you had a great weekend! This is an exciting month for us as we prepare for the holidays. But moreso as we prepare for the 2012 Wedding Season (phew!)
Below are some invitations we created some months ago....enjoy

Erin and Peter
Erin was one of those brides that knew what she wanted; which made the process easy. She was also an easy going bride and oh, her mom is so sweet. When they came by the week of the wedding to pick up the ceremony programs, her mom said to me, "you were one of the easiest vendors we've had to work with during this process" That always makes my heart melt :)! Anyways, Erin and Peter were married a couple of weekends ago and the fabulous Bell Tower on 34th. Her color scheme was Black and Red (love those colors btw!)

The invitations were Pocketstyle


We accented them with a satin ribbon to bring in some color


The enclosures - showing off the beautiful raised print


The Ceremony Programs were Layered Style accented with a Satin Ribbon as well.



Brooke and Jeff (Save the date booklets)
Brooke and Jeff are such a sweet couple. I love it when couples attend consultations together and you can totally see the chemistry between them. They are friends with one of our past clients. Because they're having a Tropical themed Destination Wedding in Hawaii next year, Brooke wanted the Save the dates to mimic the old boarding pass booklets. Without further ado, here's what we came up with. [and the couple loved them!]

The cover of the booklet with the hibiscus flowers


We had 4 insert pages for the Travel Information, Hotel Accommodation and Schedule of Events.




Sarah's Sweet 16
Sarah's mom lives in New York so the design process was done mostly via email and telephone. She was throwing a Peacock Themed Sweet 16 for her daughter and wanted a Peacock feather to be incorporated into the invitations. The celebration took place last weekend in New York.

The invitation was a Layered Flatcard with a Satin Ribbon and Peacock feather accent


The peacock feather was also incorporated into the print on the Response cards



That's all for now... I hope you have a safe and productive week ahead!

May Invitation(s) of the Month

May was a very busy month so I wasn't able to blog much. But I do have some fabulous stationery for a couple of our brides that got married this month.

~ Anne & Ryan ~

I worked with Anne and her sister, Margaret on Anne's wedding stationery. They're such an incredible pair and were very pleasant to work it. I have to mention that I have never met Anne nor her sister before. It's always a unique experience working with clients long distance. And I'm ever so grateful that they would entrust such a huge part of their wedding to someone they've never met in another city. We had our first conference call back in September or October last year and they were very excited to begin work with me. The wedding took place this friday in Boston.

The wedding invitation is one that has now become a "signature look" for us (lol). It's a Gatefold style with a Satin ribbon and rhinestone accents.

I have to say that I absolutely love the Ceremony Programs, it's simple yet very classy.

Anne wanted the Menu Cards to reflect the Wedding Invitations.

The Table Cards

We had to incorporate some rhinestone accents on the Escort cards :)

We also created the signs for the couple's Cocktail Signature Drink which went in a large frame.

I do have to share though, Anne requested the stationery be sent to her wedding planner at the Taj Boston and the programs went to her Mom. So she didn't actually get to receive them herself. Once the items were delivered, I got a very lovely voice message from Anne expressing how blown away the wedding planner was with the wedding stationery. That message absolutely made my day. Thanks for the opportunity Anne and Margaret. I wish you and Ryan a blissful married life!

~ Rekiya & Cory ~

I met Rekiya at the Bridal Extravaganza Show in January. And we set up a meeting shortly afterwards. She wanted a simple invitation style with some modern touch. She immediately fell in love with the colors and style of the Obi & DJ invitation. I really love how her invitations turned out. I particularly love the design on it (you're thinking I should love it I designed it right!). Rekiya and Cory will be married this weekend in Louisiana.
Here it is -

The enclosures - We did a Response Postcard instead of the traditional Response card and envelope.

Congratulations on your nuptials guys. We wish you a happy married life!

Last week, I got a nod from one of our brides - Ayesha from Bedazzled Photography. You will remember my post about her Save the date Passports here. We completed her uber fabulous wedding invitations this month and boy are they gorgeous. You can read her post on her blog. THANKS AYESHA!!!!

~ Tara and Kurt ~

This is another fabulous bride. She approached me to create the Save the date cards for her November wedding. Since she'll be having a destination wedding in Hawaii later this year, she had quite a bit of information to include for her guests. So she wanted the booklet style save the date with their pictures incorporated. She and her fiancee, Kurt make such a lovely couple.

We also lined the envelopes with palm patterned stock.

We addressed the envelopes and completed the look with Custom Stamps we created with the Palm logo used on the front of the booklets.

We mailed the booklets to Tara & Kurt's guests so she didn't even get to see them before some of her guests did (It's truly humbling when our brides trust me enough to do that). Once she finally received the extras, I got this nice email from her, "I was out of the office at meetings all day until just now, but received 6 text msgs today saying how amazing the save the dates are. I just arrived home and couldn't wait to see them in person. They are truly perfect. Thanks so much for your hard work and patience (with me) during this process. I couldn't be more happy with how they turned out."

~ Ms. Jackson's Thank you cards ~

I blogged about Ms. Jackson's birthday invitations a couple of months ago - Read here. After the celebration, she contacted me about doing some Thank you cards for her. I thought, "sure, no problem. We'll do something simple since the birthday invitations were somewhat elaborate". However, in the middle of the design process she asked if she could incorporate a ribbon and jewelled accent! Ms. Jackson is such a special and lovely lady though. She gave me call and told me how the guests absolutely loved all the stationery and I'm so glad to have been a part of this special time in her life.

That's all folks. Enjoy the holiday weekend as we officially or unofficially begin summer!
