A Bicyclist's Dream
I love the colors of this wedding: purple, silver and yellow accents. And when Katrina said that her fiancé 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

Wildflower Center Wedding
All I can say is this couple is fun! I had such a fantastic time working with Amy on the designs. She definitely had a vision...she wanted her stationery suite to complement her wedding venue, Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin. She wanted vibrant colors and wildflowers incorporated. Everything from the save the date postcards to the pocketfold invitation to the escort cards and table cards created a mood that the Wildflower Center embodies. This is one of those weddings that you want to be a guest! So beautiful and natural. Congratulations, Amy & Matt!

Retro Save the Date Postcards
Cara wanted her save the dates to incorporate her colors of yellow and gray. Yellow is the new popular color to choose for weddings...and we love it! She also was very specific as to what she wanted for the design. She loves the style of the 1950s...everything from the graphics to the fonts.
By using retro elements in our design, we created that feel with her save the date postcards. Nothing is more fun than to create a design that the client was envisioning! Plus to save Cara the back-wrenching task of hand addressing every postcard, the guests' names were pre-printed on the address side of the postcard in a 1950s style font. Now isn't that groovy?!
