Mirror, Mirror Birthday Invitations

And the back:

Kelly also had me design a banner that said "Super Kelsey":

We also did stickers for the favor bags:

Katie & Aaron's Best Day Ever

Katie contacted me to design a logo for her wedding to Aaron.  She already had her invitations but asked me to design the rest of the stationery. 

The tea length menus and the programs:

The programs were folded "mini" cards -- they are 4.25" x 5.5" when folded and are the perfect size to put in a small bag or jacket pocket.

The back of the program had a quote from Jack Kerouac:

The beautiful couple:

Katie did her own seating charts by table, and put them into a variety of gold frames, with the logo in the center.

She had me make the logo sign for their guestbook table, and then ordered this guestbook engraved with their logo. 

Seriously, how awesome is it? She ordered it from etsy.

Here are the tea length menus -- printed on cream matte card stock:

I love how their tables were set up:

Finally, we did an 8x10 Thank You sign that they displayed at the reception:

All of the gorgeous photographs are by Erin McGinn

Congratulations Katie & Aaron and thanks again!

Melissa & Keith's Beach Wedding

Melissa & Keith got married at the Jersey Shore and wanted to incorporate a starfish motif into their wedding stationery. I designed these beach-themed pocket fold invitations with a sea green and light sand color scheme.

I created the double layer tags they attached to large starfish for their place cards:

I also created the tented table numbers that incorporated the design from their invitations:

The happy couple:

Congratulations again to Melissa & Keith!

Lavender, Silver, & Glitter Stationery

Joanna loved her invitations so much that she ordered matching place cards, table numbers, and signature drink sign to match!

Square tented place cards feature a diamond glitter base and incorporate the same design motif from the wedding invitations:

Flat table numbers have an easel backing, a glitter layer and swarovski crystals in each corner:

Signature Drink sign has an easel backing to display on the bar:

Congratulations again to Joanna and John!

Lavender & Silver Glittery Invitations

Joanna's wedding colors are Lavender and Silver and she wanted a lot of sparkle on her invitations. We incorporated the sparkle with some swarovski crystals in each corner of the invitation design, and a diamond glitter accent layer behind the monogram and invitation layer.

Close up of the diamond glitter:

Each had an RSVP card with printed response envelope of metallic card stock:

These were mailed in silver metallic envelopes:

Photo Table Numbers & Vintage-Inspired Stationery

I worked with Jenny Orsini Events on some beautiful Lavender and Silver Stationery for one of their May Weddings. Ilke & Frans named their tables after cities that were important to them. They wanted to include a personal photo of each city as well as a description of it, so Jenny asked me to work my magic.

Each table number featured a lavender metallic tented base with a silver ribbon accent and a printed card on both sides.

The menus and place cards had more of a vintage design, using the same lavender metallic card bases with an off-white metallic printed layer:

Congratulations to Ilke & Frans, and thanks again Jenny!

Plum, Red, & Dark Silver Gray Wedding Stationery

Lynne found my work on Pinterest and contacted me to create the stationery for her wedding last December. Her colors were purple, red, and silver which we carried out throughout all of the pieces.

Square programs had a dark silver (charcoal gray) metallic cover with red ribbon binding:

Placecards had a metallic purple base with a printed white metallic layer. Lynne added the butterfly accent once she received them:

 Fun sign for their ceremony on the beach:

Gorgeous centerpieces:

Each table was named and included Love, Laughter, Respect, Commitment, Friendship, and Adore:

8x10 Thank You sign that was displayed near the favors:

Since the wedding was in December, they gave Christmas ornaments as their favors -- the Thank You sign is displayed at the table next to the favors:

Finally, Lynne ordered a sparkler send-off flag that she attached to a dowel and displayed with the sparklers!
