Luxe Satin Box Invitations
I loved working on this Marie Antoinette inspired wedding, designed by the bride who is the fabulous wedding planner and owner of La Fete Chic. The wedding was also featured in the latest Austin Wedding Day.
I designed an ornate "M" monogram with the inspiration of the Versailles gates. Using this monogram and a beautiful script, the save the date was mounted on a gold textured metallic backing and inserted into a dark navy metallic envelope. A calligrapher hand addressed each envelope.
For the invitation, we used satin navy boxes with a pocket for the website and response card and envelope. The invitation was backed with navy metallic and gold textured metallic cardstocks and wrapped with navy satin ribbon and a beautiful brooch. Again, both the response envelopes and invitation set were hand addressed by a calligrapher.
Featuring: Blue and gold textured metallic backing, hand calligraphy, navy satin box, navy metallic envelopes, brooch

Engaged at The Domain
It's always such an honor to be asked to participate in helping a wedding consultant realize his or her vision. So when Liv with Liv by Design asked me to design stationery for a room she was creating at Engaged! in Austin at The Westin at The Domain, I was on board. The wedding room was appropriately named, "Metropolitan Green."
Liv was inspired by a sophisticated garden party on a modern New York rooftop and bringing that concept into Austin. With that in mind, I created an invitation suite that was romantic and modern, yet had an industrial feel. To establish these seemingly contrasting styles, I used a metallic color palette of gold, silver and peaches and I had the invitation laser cut out.
To start, I designed a gate image to play off of the garden feel. To soften the modern laser-cut look, I affixed the invitation to a peach textured metallic backing and tied a satin ribbon in vintage gold around. The silver metallic envelope was lined with a shimmery gold paper with a laser cut "S" monogram. The response and accommodations card incorporated a beautiful calligraphy script and carried on the garden gate design.
For the table cards, I used the same metallic papers to create the modern, industrial feel with a romantic "S" monogram and gate design. The menus were printed on belly bands that wrapped around the guest's napkins. The place cards, which assigned seating, were created out of layered cardstock and affixed to a wooden pick for a modern take.
To add a little fun to the stationery, I created signs for the bride and groom's reception seats. The signs stated "Mr. Right" and "Mrs. Always Right" (perfect photo props!). Finally, I created tags for the jugs of rosemary lemonade and peach tea (a perfect garden party complement). Hope you enjoy the pics of this beautiful inspired room!
If you are interested in a laser cut invitation, please let me know. I'm always interested in designing and creating unique wedding invitations and stationery!

Love Birds Wedding
Jessica and Khalid's wedding was featured in Austin Wedding Day! I was lucky enough to design their wedding stationery from the monogram to save the dates to invitations, and finally, the reception collateral (program fans, bar signs and menus). All designed with a "love birds" theme and aqua and red colors, this was such a fun wedding to design for! Congrats, Jessica and Khalid, on your one year anniversary! It seems like yesterday that I was working with you.
