Mustaches Preferred: Ashley & Chris


Ashley and Chris are kind of weird and I love it! They have a great sense of humor and a really laid back approach to their wedding. When we discussed their invites they were open to any ideas but the only thing that needed to make the cut was “Bow Tie Optional, Mustache Preferred.” That pretty much sets the tone for these two. We kept it very text heavy with different shades of purple and charcoal. Chris wanted to make sure there was some plaid involved so a custom pattern was created for the belly band to tie it all together. Their venue is very cool and modern and they wanted their invites to reflect that. We did a postcard for the reply card instead of the classic envelope. The return address image was created from the photo they used for their save the dates. These are a great reflection of Ashley and Chris as a couple, which is what it’s all about. A & C, keep us posted on how many people show up with fresh ‘staches!







Virginia is for Lovers: Evaleen & Chris

Let me start by saying I love Chris and Evaleen! They are one of the most laid back couples I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Evaleen’s wedding theme is “Southern Boho Chic” which is fueled by bright colors, a butterfly bouquet (amazing) and a lovely Southern venue. Chris and Evaleen met in NYC but before that they had a whole lot of miles in between them. Chris grew up in Southern California and Evaleen in Paris. Her family then moved to Virginia and post college they both respectively moved to NYC. When we had our initial design consultation I thought how great it was that with such different backgrounds love found them in New York City. Folks- the concept was born! (I sound like David Letterman) I took the “Love Found Them” theme and carried it through all their pieces. I created an icon for each city and used those icons to make a logo for the couple. My favorite detail is the license plate with “Virginia is for Lovers” along the bottom. What a perfect theme for the state in which Chris and Evaleen will tie the knot!


An apple a day: Katie & Bill

Katie and Bill have been together since she was in the 8th grade and he was in the 9th. They met in the most romantic setting possible- Geometry Class. It was love at first isosceles triangle… or something like that. Katie and Bill will be getting married this summer at her family’s orchard in Turner, Maine (so beautiful!) I love everything about Katie’s wedding theme and was thrilled to work with her on her wedding invitations. The theme is “Vintage, Rustic Romance.” With this in mind I incorporated pale pinks, vintage fonts and an overall romantic feeling to the invites. I used the lace accent as a nod to old world romance while the script font and apple illustrations are more modern. It’s a lovely marriage of vintage and romance. Have a look!
