{Custom} Gold, Silver & Pewter Baroque Invitations

with 2 comments

Lynette came to me wanting a Rehearsal dinner invitation for her daughter’s wedding in Napa. She wanted it to be very baroque inspired with hues of gold, silver & pewter. She wanted a vintage look & feel that was very classic. She was also inspired by a sort of dreamy mirror effect. The invitation turned out beautifully when printed on the metallic card stock and we printed envelopes to match with a gorgeous digital calligraphy font.

We then worked on custom menu cards in two versions. One for the adults and a few for the children that would be attending. For the event we also created custom monogrammed moire luncheon napkins in gold with silver imprint. They looked fabulous!

After the dinner elements were complete, Ashley knew she wanted me to design some custom thank you cards. We incorporated the monogram “V” used on the menu cards and combined it all in a rich pewter printed on a natural white cotton paper and envelopes to match. The complete set was unified and carried the theme throughout.

{Signature Collection} Henna Paisley Wedding Stationery Suite

leave a comment »

Not only is henna or mehndi gorgeous it creates an amazing texture that is absolutely tactile. Some of the things I love in fashion and design are color and texture. With this paisley design, I tried to capture both of those characteristics. This piece really captures the essence of mehndi Indian motifs and the color palette lends itself to a modern bohemian wedding stationery suite.

{Semi-Custom} Optional Upgrades to Signature Collection Invitations

with one comment

For any of my Signature Collection Suites, I can customize the colors, wording and fonts without any additional charge. Sometimes, you just want something a little extra. No worries. The options are endless. Some upgrades can include a more unique paper option. Some paper options include, linen, cotton (100% tree-free–great for letterpress or flat printing), recycled or seed paper, card board, metallic, vellum or even fabric! Different printing techniques would need to be used, but, almost anything is possible!

Past Tense: Ornate Wedding Invitation on Shimmer Paper Gold and Pink

This ivory shimmer stock jazzed up the design even more.This client also wanted to use the same elements on the invitation that were seen on the Save the Date. Not a problem.

Adding layers is another great idea to create depth and gradation. Using colored stock as a backer card creates a gorgeous frame to the invitation design.

Adding the backer card creates durability to the invite that instantly makes it feel thicker.

Having worked with G at Indie Design Studio was such an awesome collaboration. Her talent exceeds beyond any young entrepreneur mother I have ever met. Her numerous projects exude such talent and skill that I was stoked to have her redesign my website. I gush about her and her fabulous talents to this day. If you need a small business web site design and are interested in working with a company that is socially and environmentally conscious, check her out.

I was stoked to be a featured designer on her Indie Design Studio blog as well. Loads of work featured and a couple of very insightful questions. Check it out!
