Jenna & Andrew | Wax Seal Invitation Suite

I am working on (don't hold your breath) categorizing my website so when I post photos in my blog/portfolio, brides can easily find specific suites or printing methods that they are looking for, i.e.: thermographic invitation suite with wax seal.
Ah Ha! You've come to the right post!

This suite is one of my most favorites because A. it's gorgeous and unique, and B. it's was for my best friend's wedding! Jenna and Andy got engaged at the Trevi Fountain in Rome (le sigh). I was so happy Jenna asked me to help with some paper goods and her wedding day was just GORGEOUS. Blue skies in Newport Beach, Marchesa gown, lush dahlias, St. Germain cocktails, sunset over the canyon… yes, it was phenomenal! More on that later.

I love it's simplicity with the abundance of neutral tones! Jenna's wedding color palette was very "crisp" with lots of greenery and touches of blush tones. If you ask me, what's not to love? John and Joseph Photography, without a doubt, took better photos and I can't wait to show you those in a few weeks!

Recent Design Work

Alright today's post is subpar. I only say that because I try not to clump a lot of different work or inspiration into one blog post. But lately I have had a lot of small projects that I have enjoyed creating and I want to share them with you!

Spring/Summer Wedding Invitation Proofs

I love this soft and fun invitation suite. The pops of coral and blush tones add a girly and modern touch to the otherwise formal and traditional pieces. You can see my beginning inspiration for this suite here.

Spring/Summer Wedding Invitation Proof

This invitation suite is so refreshing to work on. I love the traditional and timeless look of an all-calligraphy invitation. I am more than excited to see this one come to life and am only sharing because I know that the final product will be completely different than the photo above; it will be printed through letterpress. | photos to come late summer |

Spring Wedding Invitation Sample

I created this sample suite for Brittany Lott, wedding planner at Elle Affairs, to use as part of a styled shoot for All About Bham. I loved the florals (especially after the harsh winter) so much that I used it (again) as a sample set in my booth at The Grand Hotel's Bridal Show in Point Clear, Alabama.

Envelope Calligraphy

Eek! Fun order since I am a beginner with calligraphy. I loved helping Rachel and Megan add a pretty final touch to their wedding invitations. Side note… I am getting a much-needed manicure tomorrow.

 

Hope you like my latest work! XO
