Land & Sea Wedding Invitation
January 11, 2012
Cory from the ever so elegant, Loluma Events, came to me to help create the custom stationery for bride and groom, Stephanie and Ryan, who are planning a Summer wedding on Kiawah Island. Stephanie has been coming to the Lowcountry Island for years and while she loves the beach, the Lowcountry land, with it’s Live Oak trees draped with Spanish Moss, held just a special place in her heart, so we set to work creating a custom graphic that equally evokes the Land and Sea features of the Lowcountry that she loves so much.
Here’s a closer look at the custom monogram graphic which incorporates the Live Oak tree and Scallop shell:

Carolina Classic Script
January 11, 2012
We’re still working on putting together the Classics Collection which will be a small collection of semi-custom 5×7 invitations which will {hopefully} launch later this year. Here is a look at the all-script calligraphy invitation that will be included in the collection.
Boone Hall Invitation
January 11, 2012
I love love love Boone Hall Plantation, so I was excited when Cindy, from Engaging Events, called me about coming up with a design for her client’s, Arielle and Ret, who are planning a Spring wedding there. Arielle wanted to incorporate a classic Live Oak which epitomizes the plantation to her, but she also wanted to pull in a soft wrought iron element as it further evokes the Lowcountry and the beautiful gates of the old house at Boone Hall. We designed the suite in a palette of champagne and plum and also created a custom hand-drawn map that shows the guest accommodations, wedding ceremony location and the families favorite beach spot!

Papel de Picado!
January 11, 2012
Bride and groom, Laurel and Daniel, came to me through fab event planner, Cindy with Engaging Events. They were looking for a creative, yet soft and pretty way of incorporating “Cinco de Mayo” into their May 5th Lowcountry wedding. I learned quite a bit about the traditional Papel de Picado which are traditionally hung at Mexican celebrations. I also gained quite a bit of respect for those artists that create true punched out Papel. They are extremely complicated banners with the negative space punched out. We created a little more stylized versions. There are three flags – one each for their names, date and location. We’re also wrapping the invitation in a “Papel de Picado belt.” Also, Laurel and Cindy introduced me to this amazing Etsy Artisan: AyMujer. Just had to share his amazing work!
As always, email me for a closer look at the design!
