The green is not as yellow-y in real life as it is appearing on my screen....the bottom right image of the leaf is the most accurate.After designing some bachelorette party invitations for Kelley, she sought me out to design her actual wedding invitation suite. This was such a fun project.
The wedding is being held at a vineyard & winery. Of course the first image that came to mind was grapes. However, that is very cliché and did not fit with the light sage, & champagne (with cranberry accents) color scheme. I found a simple grape vine image that I was able to modify and apply it to pieces throughout the wedding suite.
The invitation is 4.5 x 6.5 flat card, mounted to a "tropical green" pocket card. This provides a 1/4" backing for the invitation, and a pocket to nest the double sided timeline "Wedding Day" card and the double sided response postcard. I used 100# Opaque Natural paper for all cards. The pocket card itself is 80# coverstock. The A7 envelopes are 70# text and include the return address on the flap. I also formatted and printed all of their recipient's addresses on the front of the envelopes to save the bride and groom precious time and make the suites even a little bit more special.
I am very pleased with the programs (pictured below). Kelley wanted to include little bios of all of the wedding party within the program. Obviously that takes up quite a bit of space, but I didn't want to do a program "book". After brainstorming for a bit, I came up with this super cool, accordion fold program with a banded cover. It is a pocket-sized 4.25 x 5.5 and opens to reveal 4 panels of information on the front (2 for the ceremony and 2 for the wedding bios). The back also allows for 2 panels of printing so it includes flower dedication and a thank you page to all that made the day possible. So, tons of information in a cute little format. :) The program is all held together with a 2.125" band that includes the couple's wedding logo as well as the date and location of the event.
Although a paper issue (combined with a holiday weekend) made assembling these guys a little stressful (requiring overnight shipping), I hope the bride and groom are thrilled with how they turned out!
