I really enjoy being able to design for weddings beyond the invitation and work on all the little touches that personalize the wedding day itself. Once the wedding invitation was in the mail, there were a bunch of items to make for Denise and Jared’s winery wedding. It was quite the variety, from hand-lettered signage, to favor hang tags. My personal favorite was the bar signs, so much fun (and gold ink)!
Probably the best thing about working on this wedding was being able to make the day beautiful for my friends. I really enjoyed brainstorming with the bride and the groom and bringing back the finished pieces that fit right into their vision for their special day.

Another wedding full of personalized items! So glad to have these projects come my way and add some custom pieces to such an exciting day. Congratulations to the Hajdukovics!
A very unique seating chart – each table was designated a different board game, since it’s one of the couple’s favorite pastimes. 
Keeping board games in play (ha, see what I did there?), their guestbook was pieces of the Jenga game that guests personalized.

Wedding decorations are always fun, because each couple has different ideas about what touches they want to include at their wedding. For this wedding, there were a bunch of signs to make and a very unique piece shown at the end. I also got to bring out some different skill sets to put all these elements together. Congratulations to the Grohs!
This was the most interesting piece to me – a quilt block. The couple decided to have guests sign a piece of fabric, later to be made into a keepsake quilt, rather than a traditional guest book. I was asked to paint a rose in their wedding colors that would be the centerpiece of the entire quilt, which I was definitely happy to do.

My favorite part about weddings (besides the photography, of course) is how much they can be personalized to fit the bride and groom’s vision for their big day. I absolutely love small touches that make weddings feel unique, and get really excited when I’m the one who gets to create those pieces. Once the wedding invitation calligraphy was finished, Andrea (the bride) and I started discussing other elements for the wedding. She had some projects in mind for the reception and bridal party gifts, and I was more than happy to work on them for her. My absolute favorite project was the seating chart, designed on an old window!
