Jersey Shore Wedding

Last month, my cousin, Ashlea got married on the Jersey Shore.  We were all quite excited to welcome Colin as a permanent member of our family.  It was a beautiful wedding, and I was so thankful to have a small part in it.

LOVE her invite!  PERFECT for a beach wedding.  We finished off the invites with the Chloe font.  Fun and more casual for the Jersey Shore.  I loved the way she used the flags as her inner envelope information.  This was an adult only wedding and she wanted to communicate exactly who was invited.  So, she tied them all up and added the flags.  PERFECT!

Ashlea and Colin have traveled a lot together and they used some of their favorite places as table assignments.  We used the Chloe font again for the place cards, attached a magnet to the back and they stuck nicely to this metal board covered with a map of the world.  How fun is that?

It was a beautiful day for a beautiful couple!!!

Congratulations Ashlea and Colin!!!!!

Sanddollars

So very excited about these!

What a great idea!  The possibilities are endless!  These were actually used as favors at a weekend beach retreat.  But they could easily be used for so many different things.  Place cards, party/wedding favors, Christmas Ornaments, etc.

I already have orders for these to be used at a wedding and then turned into Christmas ornaments.  Can't wait to share pics!

Hand Made Place Cards

LOVE these!!!!

The Mother of the Bride has been working on these for a while.  She contacted be several months ago, sent me a sample place card, along with a knob so we could make sure that my ink wouldn't bleed and I would have enough room to write with the knobs in place.

I love it when people are willing to think outside the "norm."  She cut each of these place cards - including the pattern in the top and then soaked them in both coffee and tea.  It created an awesome antique look - not to mention, it made the best smelling paper I have ever worked with!  Each place card is held up with a classic looking drawer pull or knob.

It's been so much fun working on this wedding.  She quickly became known as my "Knob lady."  

Congratulations Taylor & Nick!  I hope your day is awesome!!!!

Place Cards from Hawaii

My bride this week lives in Hawaii.  She contacted me last month to do her Place Cards and I finished them up tonight.

Very pretty.......

Going Green

LOVE this place card idea!  They are printed on Wildflower Seed Paper!  How cool is that?  Guests can take them home and plant them for their very own patch of wildflowers.

Congratulations Lauren & Jacy!

Menus, Programs and Place Cards

I was so excited to work on these projects this week.  Instead of doing individual programs and menus for each guest, they decided to do large ones to be framed and placed outside the ceremony and reception.

Marking Place Cards for Your Wait Staff

These are some place cards that I did for an October Wedding.  When they left my house they were plain -  my calligraphy and the design.  Their Wedding Planner, Heather Canada of First Coast Weddings and Events, added all the rhinestones to give them that extra "bling".  But they also had another purpose.  This bride had a formal dinner reception and needed a way to mark each card so the wait staff would know if the guest was having chicken or beef, etc.  The different stones are a discreet yet beautiful way of doing just that without having to add a sticker in the corner.  Well done guys!!!!!

Lots of Place Cards

Today has been Place Card day!  Several upcoming wedding and last minute table assignments but this was my favorite today!

This was the photo the the bride send me.  She wanted hers done in a brown italic font.  Here's what we came up with......

Congratulations Melissa and Scott!!!!

Place Cards - Tags

Love this place card idea!  Name on the front - table assignment on the back.  I did this in a mixed charcoal gray ink.  Notice also that the first letter of everyone's last name is larger.  They requested that so the names would be easier and quicker for the guests to find when entering the reception.

Again congratulations Chelsi and Justin of J. Layne Photography

Also - check out their Wedding Planner - Tanya Hendricks of Southern Charm Events

River Rocks for Place Cards

Love this idea of River Rocks for Place Cards at the Reception!

Another Place Card Night

                                                  

Back in March, I addressed this invitation.

Tonight I added the finishing touches to the place cards.

Congratulations Rebekah &David!

This is Place Card Week

The response cards are in and now I'm working on the Place Cards for the weddings that I addressed back in February and March.  Seems like all the weddings are this weekend!  This is definitely place card week.

I mixed this coral color ink for these place cards.  They match the couple's invitations (below).

















I mixed the blue for the addresses back in March.




These invites and place cards were made by Laura Parrish at Celebrated Occasions.

More Variety in My Week

I've continued to have a variety of projects this week apart from the normal wedding envelopes.  These are the last minute projects from brides whose envelopes I've already addressed and their weddings are just around the corner.

11 x 14 seating chart to be framed and posted in the reception hall.

Natural parchment with black italic

Table Cards to match.  These are a natural color as well.

This is for a beach wedding.  Instead of doing individual programs that might blow away, the couple decided on a 20 x 30 Program Board.  The bride will add sea shells, sand, etc to give it the final touch.  Hoping to have a photo when it's complete.

Also for the Beach wedding.  This will be attached to a basket full of brushes so they can clean their feet before entering the reception.

LOVE these!  Great place cards.  The bride added the flower and rhinestones herself.  I mixed the ink to match.
