I was anxious about creating my own stationery for our wedding back in December 2013. I had so many ideas, had seen so many amazing invites and just didn't know if I was going to be able to make up my mind. But, surprisingly, it all come together quickly. The key was I knew the client (Me and Mark), I knew what we liked and what means the most to us. This is my strategy for creating the perfect invite.
I began with the Save the dates.

Followed by the extra info booklet.

Details from the save the dates and invites were carried through to the Big Day. At the ceremony we had cocktails served in cream bottles with little swing tags draped around the neck.

At the reception we used the hall message board to welcome our guests.
 |
| Our silhouettes were a design element that we used throughout the day. I was inspired by a tiny ink portrait of a woman we worked for in the UK. It is amazing how a simple outline can look exactly like us! |
The place names and the menu cards were incorporated into one card.
 |
| These napkins are available for hire. Get in touch. |
And finally, when it was all over and done, the Thank you cards. I created a concertina showcasing some of our favourite shots (by Jill Andrews) from Our Big Day. A link to the short video we created was at the bottom of the spot where we wrote our messages of thanks.
If your big day is coming up, and you want some fabulous invites that represent the two of you, please get in touch.
LOVE xx
