TWILIGHT WEDDING

When I first met with the event planner for this wedding, Gina of A Greater Plan, she told me to envision the Twilight wedding. I awkwardly had to admit I didn't follow the Twilight series and she said sweetly suggest I familiarize myself with the ceremony scene. Gina is working with Cedar Springs, here in Gig Harbor, to create a similar look and feel.


Gina has an art background and illustrated the images used in these invitations. In addition to the trailing flowers, I love how the thistle, orchid and silver colors deliver romance from the moment you set eyes on the envelope.


A few other design details add intimacy and elegance to this invitation as well. The old world script font resembles that of a handwritten love letter from days gone by, the beautiful wax seal that secures the information cards in place, and the delicate vellum sheet that protects the formal invitation.


I absolutely love the final invitation... especially the color combination! I would love to get a glimpse of how the venue looks on wedding day. I'll have to see if I can get photos from Gina or Hailey. I'll be sure to share if I'm successful.

SUMMER WEDDINGS BEGIN...

I delivered this invitation on Saturday and wish I had my camera or video camera with me... Lauren was like a little girl on Christmas morning opening her "main" present, you know the one. She wore a smile that lit up the coffee shop and her words of excitement and happiness made my day!

It's one thing to pick out your paper and see the electronic proofs... but to hold the final invitation in your hands and feel the fabulous paper is an entirely different thing.
