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.
