Navy and Orange...what a combination!

I have to say that I'm loving the color combination of navy and orange! Hope you enjoy the save the dates, thank you notes (not shown), rehearsal dinner invitations and pocketfold wedding invitations I created (complete with thermography-printed invitations).

A Bicyclist's Dream

I love the colors of this wedding: purple, silver and yellow accents. And when Katrina said that her fiancĂ© is an avid bicyclist (and photographer), I knew this was going to be a fun and whimsical design. What came to mind? Gears, of course!

The square save the dates were digitally printed on pearlescent textured paper, backed with silver metallic cardstock. A design of gears set off the bicycle/photographer tone.

The pocketfold invitations were letterpress printed...swoon! We chose a 100% cotton paper for the invitation and enclosure cards and a beautiful yellow paper backing for the invitation and monogram seal. These were all set off with the silver metallic pocketfold.

To make the invitations a little different from the save the dates, I created an outline of gears (instead of filling the gears in with color). By doing so, the indention of the letterpress really was illustrated. The custom monogram I created used their first initials and a close-up of one of the gears. Katrina even used the monogram on her postage stamps (you can purchase custom postage at http://www.zazzle.com/).

Purple passion

I definitely see a trend lately, and it's purple, purple, purple! And that's okay with me because it's my favorite color. Melissa wanted lots of bright purple with an accent of pink. Too much purple? Nah!
