Gina & Ray
Gina and Ray described their wedding plans as elegant, glamorous, and a little over the top, and they wanted an invitation that reflected this formal affair. I chose typography that could support their vision and, coupled with a simple black, white, and silver color scheme, the result felt both grand and timeless.
The invitation was triple mounted for weight and dimension, and included a Swarovski crystal. An RSVP card, with return-addressed envelope and a travel information card, were wrapped, with the invitation, with a 2” black satin belly band, then housed in an inner black envelope, with silver lining and silver seal. This was then enclosed in an outer silver envelope, lined with black, complete with return and recipients’ addresses.
I also made favor cards, a framed seating chart, welcome back cards, a monogram, and a few months later, their Thank You cards.
Gina’s Bridal Shower
Designing a bridal package theme for Gina was fun. She has the looks of a Varga Girl and the mouth of a sailor, and loves, loves, loves a bit of bling. I added a Swarovski crystal to punctuate “Mrs.”, and wrapped the invite and insert cards with a rose gold glitter belly band. The “Pour Some Sugar Scrub On Me” favor tags were a cheeky way to add a hint of spice to all this sweetness.
Veronica & Stephen
Veronica and Steve’s wedding venue overlooked the Long Island Sound, with beautiful views of both the Whitestone and Throgs Neck Bridges. Veronica wanted to incorporate this backdrop into her invitations, along with her wedding flower - blue orchids. The bridge was laser printed, while the copy, flowers, and border were thermography, adding a textural touch of elegance to the overall invitation and envelope.
Danielle & Jason
Jason and I wanted our Hudson, NY fall wedding to be playful and low-key, so when I made our invitations, I kept things simple. I opted for triple-thick matting for the crisp white stock, with bold black text and teal envelope accents to add contrast and color. The gold belly band played off of the theme of our Save the Dates, which were hand-stamped with a herringbone pattern.
