Sunny & Andrew - Favors




I love thinking of creative solutions for the budget conscious bride, so when Sunny told me that she and a friend (Heather Wells of Bright Lights Little City, whose awesome lamps were recently featured on Martha Stewart!) would be handcrafting travel candles as the favors for her travel themed wedding I suggested that we let them do double duty as escort cards, too!


These favors were super crafty, smelled wonderful, and were a fun and useful keepsake for her guests!

Sunny & Andrew's Save the Dates!



Sunny and Andrew wanted something a little more formal for the invitations for their travel themed wedding, but when it came to their Save the Dates they were open to something a little more fun and kitschy! I came up with the concept of a souvenir "big letter" style postcard where the letters would be filled with scenes from destinations around the world where they've traveled or lived together! Their special request: sticker covered vintage style suitcases with luggage tags bearing their names...


The reverse was styled to look like a hand written note on a souvenir postcard and gave guests an early clue to the theme of their wedding. The final product was an incredibly detailed and personal Save the Date like nothing they'd ever seen before!

Sunny & Andrew's Travel Themed Wedding!


I recently completed these invites for Sunny & Andrew. World travelers who spend most of their free time together on exotic globetrotting adventures, when it came time to pick a theme for their wedding the choice was obvious! Sunny and Andrew asked a dear friend of theirs to draw an illustration of a globe that we then incorporated into a custom invitation suite in their colors of burgundy and cream.


I designed a custom pattern featuring a compass rose motif that we used throughout the suite. Their envelopes even had custom matching liners! (I can't say enough about how much "wow factor" a custom liner adds to your invites...) Inserts were held in place in the folder style invitation with a custom paper band.


The folder was bound in a wide custom paper band with their monogram and wedding date. Mailing envelopes featured a coordinating design and machined calligraphy mailing addresses!


We also did a great little custom map with driving directions on the reverse.
