Whimsical text and sparrows!

wissman — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 18:19:19 +0000

I just finished up a design proposal for the ladies over at Mac & Murphy. The design is for Katherine & Christopher who loved the look and feel of Pretty Pen Jen’s calligraphy. We do to, but didn’t have it in the budget for this piece. Instead we created their design using one of our favorite fonts – yes, this is a font! To add a splash of color and personality to the design, we’re pulling in the large patterned envelope liner with two sweetheart sparrows. Christopher studies birds so it adds a punch of personality as well!

Sean & Elizabeth on Style Me Pretty

Congratulations to Sean & Elizabeth, whose wedding was just featured on Style Me Pretty! Elizabeth found Sixpence through our fabulous retailer in downtown Charleston, Mac & Murphy. Elizabeth wanted a classic invitation suite in all matte gold. We printed on heavy weight 220 stock in our larger “Windsor” card size. We lined the inner envelopes in a soft pale blush pink. They were beautiful and timeless to match their classic and elegant wedding which took place at a private residence in Charleston, SC. Hop on over here to see the whole post!

A Vintage Vineyard Affair

I think a vineyard wedding is just about as gorgeous as you can get (says the southern gal who only gets to lay eyes on vast rolling expanses of vineyards once in a blue moon!) I was over the moon, then, to work with bride, Dennielle, on her vintage vineyard themed wedding suite. We created a custom monogram with the small grape cluster etching which we pulled throughout the design. The whole suite was bound with a grosgrain pinstriped navy ribbon which was used throughout the decor as well. Have a peak!

Kentuck Knob Wedding

wissman — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 20:53:53 +0000

We were so excited when bride, Meagan, found us to help her create a custom invitation suite for her fall wedding at Kentuck Knob. I inherited my father’s slight obsession with architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. Kentuck Knob is a jewel of his from 1953 and is located in the mountains of Pennsylvania. Meagan is planning an elegant Vintage Chic wedding with a tented reception resplendent with milk glass vases and soft florals. We wanted her invitation suite to have a traditional and clean look with a touch of Southern Elegance and Vintage charm. I love the outcome!

As always, email me for a closer look!
