Whitney + Sean's Invitation

I have to say, this is the busiest spring! It's been totally nuts but weddings are getting more creative then ever.

I've been working with Whitney for the last couple of months on her invitations. She wanted the invites to creatively connect to their save the dates, but stay true to traditional wedding invitations. The result? A beautiful and elegant invitation keeping with the art nouveau theme. The invitation, response and direction card is wrapped with a gorgeous silk green ribbon (I am so loving this green!). And Whitney ordered these great custom stamps I highly recommend to all my brides. It's a great way to tie your theme together while also keeping up with the raising postal prices!

Whitney also wanted a smoother paper compared with my house sheet, Crane Lettra, that has a cotton texture and I found this great fine art paper that's ultrasmooth and prints brilliant color. I will definitely use this premium sheet in the future, especially for portrait invitations.

Chris + Courteney

Chris and Courteney really wanted to use their engagement photo for their save the dates. We had a great idea to take the picture on a boat and superimposed the date over the actual name of the boat! But with their schedules and the end of summer nearing last year, they weren't able to get the picture taken in time.

Never give up hope though! Chris and Courteney went through photos they had of themselves and found a great photo. I retouched and turned black and white for a classic look. We incorporated their wedding theme and color of navy and scallop shells. A very simple, classic look for a classy couple!
