International Affair with a Nautical Flair

Amanda and Patrick came to us to design their invitations first — featured in a previous blog post. Amanda is from Canada and Patrick is from the US, so they wanted a design that incorporated their nationalities…along with red, white and blue colors!
It only stands to reason that their wedding day accessories would follow the same theme. We did fan style programs with blue backing, red ribbon and their custom monogram at top. We also designed their menus, table numbers, place cards and welcome bag info cards. Some of these items have a nautical theme with an anchor design, because they got married on the water at Celebrations at the Bay. Enjoy!

Flower Fun

Diana and Jonathan met with me a few months ago to design their folder style invitation. Diana came totally prepared with color swatches and pictures of daisies, as inspiration for the invitation. I LOVE when brides come with ideas! So, she knew she wanted to incorporate turquiose, teal and a mod/graphic flower design. After a few design variations, we came up with the totally fun, floral design that we incorporated in all of the elements of the invitation — on the monogram tag, invite, insert cards and even on the envelopes! I just love the colors, the design, well, everything! Enjoy!

Naval Academy Nuptials

Being in Annapolis, Maryland, we have a lot of brides and grooms getting married at the United States Naval Academy Chapel. One of our most popular designs for these weddings is the hand sketch that I did of the dome on the top of the Naval Academy Chapel. It is probably the most recognizable landmarks at the Academy, so it’s a perfect addition to any Navy wedding.

Lesley and Ming-Tze chose a pocketfold style invitation in navy blue with clover green and white accents. The sketch of the dome is incorporated into the monogram tag, inside invite and event the reception card. Enjoy!

Folded…Over…

So, here are two examples of the “folded” style program. These programs were both for weddings that are now “over”, but I thought it was cool to see two of the same style programs with different colors, fonts and designs. Enjoy!

Very Violet

Suehellen and Patrick met with me a few months ago, while they were in town doing other wedding planning — they live in Connecticut! Lerkia from Savvy Soirees had contacted me prior to the meeting to tell me all about their “Very Violet” color scheme, so I had lots of ideas when I finally got to meet with them. In the end, Suehellen and Patrick decided on a tea length invitation with a violet metallic cardstock backing and violet text. The ribbon band in their accent color of spring moss is such a pretty touch! I can’t wait to work on the rest of their accessories for the big day…including tea tins! Enjoy!
