Moss Menus!

Kisha asked me to create some moss-backed menus for Christine & Josh's wedding reception. I love a good challenge, and was so pleased with the final product. 

Each menu has a layer of natural dried moss with a double layered metallic menu attached on top. These are about 4" x 6" and fit right on top of the charger plates. 

The moss gives these a nice dimension:

Small double layered place cards were hole punched to be attached to a decorative board with pins.

Congratulations once again to Christine and Josh!

Christine & Josh's Light Green Invitations

I met Christine and Josh a little over a year ago while they were in town working on their wedding plans with Kisha from Pure Ambiance. They were using green as their main wedding color and were incorporating garden elements into the reception.

Here's what we came up with -- light green metallic pocket fold with cream metallic cards, featuring a green design and brown writing.

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:

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:
