Custom Save The Dates!

Carrie Beth had an inspiration board of images she liked for her Save The Dates, but she wasn't quite sure how to tie everything together. That's when she came to me with a great idea that needed executing! Her and Brent are getting married in Atlanta, Georgia and wanted to somehow tie Atlanta's skyline with images that portrayed the urban feel for the city. But at the same time they wanted it to be super modern and chic!

Inspiration:


I was able to tie in all of their inspiration elements into one cohesive design that also shows their fun loving personalities!

Invitations by Ajalon - Letterpress Special!

So you may have noticed that I am a sucker for all things letterpress lately and I would probably create my own letter-pressed pieces if it didn't require such a massive piece of metal machinery to create them! :) Luckily there are a lot of really great print shops available online to choose from. Lucky for you, I have found a sweet deal being offered at Ajalon Printing for 100 invitations and RSVP post cards for under $500! This is a pretty good deal considering letterpress invitations could run up to $650 plus.

They have a wide selection of designs to choose from and the best part is you can send them your own designs for no additional charge! Don't see anything you like? Let me know! SMD can definitely help you come up with the perfect design. :)

My personal picks:

Beginnings


On a side note- I will be going down to Islamorada, Florida this weekend for a destination beach wedding for my friend Lauren. Remember her wedding website I created for her? Probably not so click here for a refresh. Can't wait to see what she has in store...

And one last photo just because it makes me happy...

Custom Wedding Invitations

Gloria and her fiancé, Cole are getting married next Saturday and she came to me in need of wedding invitations. Her concept was cute and simple, which is what I love about how the invitations came out! She wanted simple character illustrations that would represent her and her groom. Along with the characters, I also designed a custom logo of two birds sitting on a branch that she was able to use on her programs and wedding signs.

Gloria and Cole's Invitation Suite: Invitation Card with Information Insert that is then wrapped with a belly band.

Custom Logo: Two birds sitting in a tree.... K-I-S-S-I-N-G ;)



To get more use out of their cutest little characters, I also helped them create little magnets for their party favors. Gloria was able to find little yellow organza bags that will be used to hold these 3 adorable little magnets for her guests. I was not able to take a photo of it but I am telling you that they are just the cutest little things!

Gloria found her magnet and button favor vendor on Etsy, check out her Etsy store called MINEPRESS for more cute ideas!
