Anne + Garrett | Featured in The Knot California Magazine

Let me start by saying FINALLY! I am so happy to finally get to share details from Anne + Garrett's beautiful Shady Canyon wedding. I went to high school with Anne and while I was ditching track practice for Sprinkles Cupcakes (sorry Coach), Anne was breaking records. I was so happy to see Anne had met her match was intentionally planning her wedding from San Fran!
Anne first came to me to ask a few questions about stationery and wedding invitations. She had found a suite that she loved, but wasn't blown away after seeing the samples. Anne showed me what she was looking at and asked if I could help her decide if it was a good choice or not. I was honest with Anne, as a friend and not a client. She was about to pay a custom price tag on a non-custom invitation suite! I told her what I could potentially do for her and we began working together. I am so happy she asked me to do her paper goods! Anne had a great vision for her wedding day, with the perfect balance of traditional elegance (family style dining and attention to their guest's comfort) with modern flare (subtle floral accents at every corner and signature Moscow Mules at the cocktail hour). Anne took her plans seriously, and proofed her designs carefully while keeping me informed of her wedding plans, which made the design process more cohesive. Her and Garrett were a joy to work with and I was happy to see how wonderful their day turned out! See all the paper goods and details below.

I know… words do not do this wedding justice! The Grovers (Troy Grover Photography) did an amazing job capturing their day. For their paper, VAD designed and coordinated their stationery and paper goods. Letterpress printing by Patrick Masterson, Calligraphy by Southern Calligraphy, Vintage Stamps from Verde Studio, Twine by Paper Phine. Anne created custom olive oil escort cards for her guests that doubled as favors! One of my favorite ideas yet, unique but still cohesive with bread at each setting from the couple's favorite bakery!

Jennifer and John Philip | Letterpress Invitations

I am happy to share Jen + JP's beachy letterpress invitations! Their wedding is right around the corner in Charleston, South Carolina. Some of you may remember the inspiration board I shared a few weeks ago… these are the final product!
My letterpress printer called during production to tell me how much he applauds my usage of white crane lettra. I loved this call so much, because I base all my decisions off of my natural style and vision for the couple's wedding, without a great deal of formal education in graphic design. I tend to LOVE letterpress on stark white because it pops more and he said that he feels the same way! It was so nice to hear that from another designer! This soft sea foam tone is so subtle but really makes a statement on the white paper.
