Custom Holiday Cards Give A Personalized Touch!

We always love it when our brides regularly include us in their life events! I love this couple for many reasons, but one of them is I get to be a part of all their life events. This year they contacted me to design their Custom Holiday Cards, they wanted their friends and loved ones to get something personalized.

Aparna and Mike always have flattering things to say, here's what they said about our above creation: "They are absolutely stunning!! I love the paper quality and the shimmer that even comes through in the pictures. The crystals add just the right amount of sparkle, we LOVE them!! Best part is how you captured our wedding color as well as matched our photo backgrounds to the card. I'm so glad I have extra because I really want to frame and put these up next to our wedding stationary! Thank you so much!!

11/11/11

As many of your know, 11/11/11 was the most popular wedding date on the planet! I want to share with you my 11/11/11 couple.  I love them both, they were a joy to work with and as you can see the result below was stunning.  This couple came to me 2 months before their wedding, which makes it all the more special. I feel very flattered when a bride a groom love my work so much that they decide to switch gears so close to their wedding and get me in on the stationery design. Because we didn't meet until well after their invitations had gone out, we created only the ceremony programs and placecards.

Beautiful, Beautiful Beautiful.. That is all I can say, the draping created such a beautiful atmosphere.  Keep reading, it only gets more gorgeous! I must says Hats off to Samira and Cristine Godsey of Engaging Affairs the design of this wedding was GORGEOUS on so many levels, and of course my hats off to all other vendors that were involved.

Let's start from the beginning.. The guests first witnessed the exchanging of vow and wedding ceremony. We created the beautiful programs below for the ceremony. 

Pewter Metallic Paper, compliments Champagne Metallic Paper, with the Monogram Design we created for Samira and Jesse, which is found throughout the entire wedding package. And don't forget the Swarovski Crystals to finish the Monogram.

After the ceremony it was time for dinner, dancing and reception fun!

The guests were created with this AMAZING escort card Tree created by Tantawan Bloom. Some of the cards hung from the tree and the rest sat on the table. 

Beautiful Custom Printed Escort Card Tents with Swarovski Crystals

Then the WOW of the design and decor of the venue!

Love the Menu and Table Numbers we created for this event. Below you can see them both IN STUDIO and the evening of the event.

 Congratulations to you both. You make a beautiful couple, and I wish you many years of happiness!
