Lauren & Michael - "Paisley" Wedding Set

I designed this wedding invitation set for my cousin Michael and his soon-to-be wife Lauren. I had mocked up a handful of looks for them to chose from for the invite, using their colors of black, white and green, and they decided on this fabulous paisley design. Then, I carried the look throughout the reception and reply cards, as well as the envelope. I used my new favorite font, which resembled the paisley shapes so well.

Of course I had to incorporate their wedding date in the design — 1.1.11. How awesome is that date?!

"I just wanted to say THANK YOU for the amazing invites!!! They are so wonderful and we both truly appreciate it!"

"Black & White Garden" Bridal Shower Invite

My aunt had me make this bridal shower invitation for her son Michael's (my cousin) soon-to-be wife Lauren. I used her wedding colors black, white and light green to create this lovely "garden." I loved playing with the font on this invite — especially having the "bridal shower" bleed off the top.

Lauren and Micah

Well, I had fun making all my sister's wedding stationery materials. The wedding was a blast! I can't believe it's all over. I had to post a picture of the happy couple and this awesome bridal party shot taken by her amazing photographer Jason Angelini. Congrats Lauren and Micah!

Monogram

My sister Lauren had Events in Bloom arrange her gorgeous flowers. They used the extra monograms I made for the wedding invitations to wrap around the vases and candles. The monograms definitely gave it that special extra touch.

Cake Flavor Sign

How amazing is my sister Lauren's cake?! The company used my invitation design for inspiration, using purple butterflies and green vines/leaves. It was just gorgeous—not to mention DELICIOUS!

Also, Lauren had the idea of having a cake flavor sign, so I made it match the invites as well.

Lauren's table numbers with her menu on the back. Also, here are name tags I made using these darling butterfly and flower brads.

Wedding Ceremony Program

I made my sister's wedding program match her invitation elements. It was bit of a challenge to fit all the type on letter-sized paper! I love the script font used for the couple's message on the front.

Aidan's Star Wars Birthday Invite

It was fun switching gears from wedding designs to children designs with this invitation for my cousin Jackie's son Aidan's 6th birthday party. Aidan wanted a Star Wars/Darth Vader themed party where his friends could dress up for Halloween. I had fun researching Star Wars fonts, images and terminology!

"Great job on the invites Krista - got sooooo many compliments!"
- Jackie

"Peace of Silver" Logo

I designed this logo for jewelry company Peace of Silver. The owner Katie wanted to incorporate peacefulness with the tree and birds. She also wanted to use these 2 colors and an owl. I love how the font's shapes and movements match that of the tree branches.
