An Extravagant Engagement

Hello all! Hip hip hooray, one of my closest family friends is getting married and I was asked to help them out with some of the design for their wedding! I have known Whit since I was eight years old, and she was very involved with helping put together our wedding. I feel so blessed to now return the favor. My first order of business? Create a 'wedding logo' for Whitney and Bradbury. Whit wanted something similar to Brad's family crest, with a bit of a mountainous theme, as they are getting married in Park City, Utah. It also ties in the theme colors from their special day: navy and metallics. 

This last weekend was Brad & Whitney's engagement party, at the Del Mar Train Station in San Diego. Cheri, the mother of the bride, was integral in bringing the celebration together (and she also helped to bring together the look and feel of my own wedding). Cheri has a knack for party-planning, and as you can see below, she is extremely artistically talented. I helped bring the design of the cornhole boards together, and provided the logo to Cheri, but she made sure to use it in some unexpected and creative places! Below are a few snaps from the party, but I also took a few hundred photos of Whit and Brad before the party, for their engagement session - so stay tuned!

Long overdue! Yes, I know... these went out a few weeks ago and I am behind - as always. I figure I better get my butt in gear, seeing as how I have had a few requests to post them, and this lovely lady's bachelorette party was this past weekend. I am embarrassed to admit that this was the first time I had seen Laurel since my own wedding! But the weekend was great fun, and I couldn't have thought of a better way to congratulate an old college roommate on getting married. 


Below are what we came up with for Laurel's invites to her wedding. The couple is getting married under an important willow tree at Laurel's family home, so she really wanted to keep that theme on-going throughout the invites. We did a formal invite, a mailable RSVP, a directional and hotel card, and a registry insert. Each of the pieces were printed at Vertical Printing on Classic Crest Natural White, and the cream colored paper brought a bit of an old-school feel to them. I also printed Laurel two sets of envelopes: an inner addressed to the guests only, and an outer with the address and family name. They came out beautifully and I was absolutely honored to be able to create these for such a dear friend. Congratulations, Laurel and Brad! I am so happy I can be part of your special day! x x
