After designing one of my favorite wedding invitations for Shauna and Steve, there were some great ideas for matching items for the wedding ceremony and reception. I designed signs, custom photo booth strips, table numbers, programs, favors and escort cards. My absolute favorite piece was the favors/escort cards. They wanted to do custom Jones Soda labels as their favors, using my engagement photos of them, with tags that would double as escort cards. I letterpressed each card and then added the calligraphy for names and table numbers. They definitely turned out top notch!
Special thanks to Jamie Jones Photography for letting me use the last four photos from the event!

This wedding invitation came together beautifully. It is definitely the most involved piece I’ve ever had the pleasure to design – letterpress printing, digital printing, handwritten calligraphy, wax seals and mounted photos (from their engagement session) were all just steps in the process to get to the final mailed piece. The bride and groom (friends of mine) also helped during printing and assembly, since the final piece was so complex.
For the design, the bride and the groom defined the style as “retro romantic” and wanted something that fit their wedding location, The Claremont Resort in Berkeley, CA. We ended up with a design that is clean and elegant, with a bit of art deco influence.

After the wedding suite is done, there’s often a bunch of extra bits and pieces to create and add to the wedding reception.
For Laura and Ryan, I worked on additional items to make their guests feel loved & welcomed at the event. My favorite piece is part of the welcome package for guests. Since many guests were coming from out of town and staying the entire weekend, Laura and Ryan put together some goodies and delivered them to the guest’s rental houses. This included a weekend itinerary, a cd with some songs special to the couple and a map of the local area.

Another beautiful wedding suite I had the pleasure of working on. They have worked their way through the mail, now I get to share them here. The idea for these invitations was to stay simple and use flowers in the design motif. I had a lot of fun designing something so delicate this time around. Navy is the main wedding color, so I wanted to feature that in the set, while using silver as a nice finishing accent.

Laura & Ryan’s wedding is taking place in a small California coastal town, with a ceremony taking place on the beach. They wanted their invitations to reflect the location, but wanted to stay away from any traditional beach-styled theme. Since this is a destination wedding for many of the guests, a custom map is included as a fun extra to show the local area. The final invitation set is beautiful and casual, fitting their ideas perfectly. My favorite detail in this set is the “happy ever after to follow” included on the invitation.

Kristen & Ryan had their ceremony on the beach and wanted to incorporate that into their weddings. Except, they didn’t want anything traditionally used for a beach wedding, they wanted something a bit abstract with a bright pop of their wedding colors, bright blue and red. The designed in me appreciated the challenge and I had fun finding different ways to work the idea of water into the invitations. The final invitation suite turned out beautiful and fit their casual & fun wedding perfectly.

My love of design and creativity was definitely rekindled while planning my own wedding. I wanted great details, and since I could make it all myself, I tried. But, so many people pitched in to help sew, construct and assemble, for which I am grateful. The whole process allowed me to incorporate not only a theme, but hobbies that Kyle and I each enjoy.
Let’s get to some details! Since our ceremony area was a bit sparse, I knew I wanted something that would make a big impact. I used the largest canvas I had and painted a simple heart (since this was the project that didn’t get finished until 10pm the night before the wedding), but used it in place of a guest book. I wanted to have those blessings from our friends and family on our wall. The last photo of the post shows what it looks like now!
Kyle brewed special drinks for our wedding day, beer (his) and hard apple cider (hers), so our favors were pint glasses and we included a bit of history about brewing for the wedding day at each table setting.
Escort cards! Again, I wanted something that felt personal but that was effective. And yes, that’s real grass they’re planted in.
