YELLOW AND SAPPHIRE BLUE WEDDING INVITATIONS





I am currently working with a bride who is passionate about sapphires and wanted to incorporate this theme into her wedding invitation design. I first started with an inspiration board that incorporates her wedding colors- yellow and sapphire blue. Then I came up with a design that was both clean and whimsical. Finally, I added beautiful sapphire colored crystals both on the outer tag and 2 inside the invitation for added sparkle. The above are just the initial sketches and I look forward to seeing and sharing the finished printed piece.

INDIVIDUAL MENUS AT EACH PLACE SETTING ADD A SPECIAL TOUCH


On your wedding day, a great way to create a memorable event is to add special details to your tables. This is a menu that I created for my wedding day using a heavy weight serpentine metallic card stock and the design mimicked my wedding invitations, ceremony programs, place cards and basket and favor tags. My catering company did not require pre-orders for food entrees so my menu acted as a traditional menu for guests to order. You can still create menus solely for visual appeal when pre-ordered entrees are required by catering. Menus add a sophisticated and elegant touch to any high-profile event.

BRANDING YOUR WEDDING WITH A MONOGRAM: DESIGNS FROM TRADITIONAL TO MODERN




When thinking about ways to "brand" your wedding, creating a monogram is a creative way to communicate the bond that exists between you and your fiance'. Monograms are still a very popular trend and range from classic to modern designs. They are also a great way to incorporate your wedding theme- i.e. leaf design, sunshine, flowers.
Monograms can showcase your signature style throughout your event, starting with your wedding invitation, and then onto your wedding day- menus, place cards, gift bag tags, favors, programs, etc, and finally for your thank you cards.
Personal touches make all the difference and create memorable experiences for you and your guests.
