A Green and Brown {modern} Wedding

I wanted to work on a modern sample for a bridal show next month but had so many ideas I didn't know where to start. I knew I wanted to take colors and a font and turn that into an entire wedding design from invites to place cards to menus. The invitation has a main card, a reception inserts and an RSVP insert tied together with green raffia. A touch of rustic in all the modern.

Here is the GREEN and BROWN masterpiece!

The {super cute} topiary place card holders are from Kate Aspen Favors.

A touch of OLD CUBA!

For a Cuban engagement party what better way than to send these invites to your guests to get them in the mood to party? 

They are small sized (4.25" x 5.5") cards. The palm tree design in the background was done with a gold ink stamp and I used different tones of green textured cardstock to mount the main card. The lighter green paper "ribbon" strip was attached to the card with two bronze brads to give it a final touch. Truly beautiful and perfect for the Cuban theme.

AHOY! Jessica and Daniel are having a BOY!

For Jessica's baby shower she wanted a nautical theme and had a very specific idea. She wanted sailboats on a felt "ocean" to match her cake topper and favors. I think we captured it just right! 

These sailboats are made up of different cardstock, attached to a hand-cut felt piece and adorned with a little red felt flag. They fit into a standard 5" by 7" envelope. Love these invites! Congrats to Jessica and Daniel on their new baby!

Nikki + Eddy's Wedding Invites

Nikki and Eddy came to me a few months for their wedding invitations. They weren't sure what they wanted but they wanted to tie in the following elements: their first date (where Eddy took Nikki high in the sky, flying over the Miami skyline!), their outdoor wedding under the stars and their colors -- baby blue, silver and white.

The final product has a clouds in the sky/shining star design that they absolutely fell in love with! The wedding is coming up soon so CONGRATULATIONS TO THE HAPPY COUPLE!!

 

Jackie + AJ, K-I-S-S-I-N-G? ...that's okay, they're getting married!

You may remember these two from the Twister-themed invitations... Here are their Save the Dates! She is a 3rd grade teacher so we thought it would only be right that we had them both in their 3rd grade class pictures.

These STDs were custom-designed and printed on glossy finish 4" by 5" cards. Can't wait for next year!

Lilyana's 1st Birthday!

A baby's first birthday should be celebrated in a BIG way! What bigger way than having a bee-themed birthday party for 100+ guests? Here are some custom made invites that I made for Lilyana's "BEE-day". Her mom and grandma had something very specific in mind and I was able to get every detail they wanted just right ...down to the adorable face!

Jackie + AJ's GAME NIGHT Engagement Party!

Jackie and AJ wanted something totally different for their enagagement party. They wanted a fun night with their bridal party in an intimate setting. They didn't want a "big deal" party... just a simple game night.

Here are the invitations we came up with for this get-together! (No, they didn't play twister at the actual party but good times were had by all!)

{Sidenote: Yes, that does say "adult games preferred welcomed." ...Told you they were fun.}

Get CANDIED away!

This weekend was Melissa's bridal shower! I've known her since high school and when she came to me for her candy buffet signs I couldn't be more excited. I knew this would be trendy, full of animal prints and very COLORFUL... My fav combo!

We came up with cute sayings to label the candy and used the zebra print and colors along with pictures of heels to bring the theme together. It looked amazing!

She had M&Ms (Mr. + Mrs.), chocolate-covered pretzels (Tie the KNOT!), gummy bears (BEARY much in love), bubble gum (BUBBLELICIOUS bride), mints (MINT to be) and sour rings (Put a RING on it!)... and then we made labels for the take out boxes with her name and the date. The whole buffet was enough to make anyone get "CANDIED" away! Congrats on your beautiful shower, Mel!!!
