Lauren & Micah - "Vine" Wedding Package


My sister Lauren's wedding invitation package is finally complete! Using her colors, we decided to have a vine and floral look in a pocket fold style card. The first piece I worked on was the actual invite in the center of the card. I incorporated the date of the wedding in the design and added a touch of purple flowers in the vines. Using my favorite calligraphic font, I made the soon-to-be-married couple's monogram using vine elements.

From there, it was easy to carry the design throughout the rest of the pieces. I had fun making the little map on the directions insert. Then, I met with my printer Poorvi to pick out metallic color swatches for the pocket fold, inserts and layers.

Now I'll be working on her final pieces: rehearsal dinner invites, ceremony booklet, table numbers & listing, and eventually the "thank you" cards.

Wedding Table Listing



I designed this seating chart for my friend Laura's wedding, matching her invitation. I blew up the flowers and then for the final touch, made the marriage seal with the bride and groom's names at the bottom. I had a lot of fun making this lovely table listing.

Also, here are a few pics from her actual wedding. She used vintage furniture and even scrabble wooden game pieces for the name table tops. I loved the adorable candy table. It was a beautiful wedding!

"Bow Dress" Bridal Shower Invite


I designed this invitation for my sister's NJ bridal shower. I drew up this outline of a bride in Illustrator with the idea of adding an actual ribbon to the waistline of the dress. I carried the flower in her hair to the look of the inside of the card.

"Bow" Bridal Shower Invite


I made these bridal shower invites for my sister's soon-to-be mother-in-law. The shower was a tea party theme, so I made them girly and dainty on an off-white card stock. We stuck with my sister's wedding colors, plum and green. For a final touch, I decided to add the ribbon bow.
