{Real Wedding} Patricia and Armando's Purple and Blue Backyard Wedding

Posted on January 2, 2016 by dogwoodblossomstationery

Patricia and Armando were inspired by the hues of Monet’s gardens – dreamy lilac, purples, and sky blues. We loved working with them to create paper goods that coordinated with their vision for their breathtaking backyard garden wedding. Weddings Unique organized a group of talented vendors, including Kathy Thomas Photography, who transformed a private yard into a dream-like space.

We started with their wedding invitation, which a decadent, double-thick card of Pearl White cotton, letterpressed in lilac purple and charcoal gray on the back and front. The back of the invitation was nearly filled with purple florals so that the letterpress created a luxurious tactility that caused guests to flip the card over. Inside the spray of florals was printed a quote by Elizabeth Barrett Browning that was special to the bride because it was contained within a book of poetry given to her by her late father: “I love thee with the breath, smiles, tears of all my life.”

We created day-of paper goods in a traditional garden style, using champagnes, creams and light purples, which looked lovely against lavender-gray and bright blue linens. The ceremony programs, table number signs, and favor table sign all featured the same pretty, botanical artwork done completely in lilac ink. Sharp-edged squares, borders, and strong lines cleaned up the floral so that the look was not too saccharine.

We especially love to the escort card display… lilac tented escort cards displayed so classically in arcs on a round table.

We always offer our clients their custom monogram file to use for other non-paper purposes, like the GOBO that Get Lit Productions projected onto the pool and the draped backdrop of the reception.

This was an absolutely beautiful backyard wedding, don’t you think! Remember to keep track of our current and ongoing projects on our Facebook page.

{Real Wedding} Sonia and Travis's Sparkling Celebration in Cream and Caramel

Posted on January 2, 2016 by dogwoodblossomstationery

Sonia and Travis celebrated their marriage at the beautiful club at Bella Collina, a Tuscan-inspired venue with several outdoor spaces and breathtaking views of the Central Florida landscape. To coordinate with the stone colors of the club and bring the outdoors in (in a glamorous way), the couple chose sparkling cream, taupe, caramel, and silver as their wedding colors. It was a beautiful combination, perfect for this wedding planned by Vangie’s Events of Distinction and photographed by Rhodes Studios.

We started with a vertical tri-fold wedding invitation printed on Pearlized Champagne with a caramel damask pattern and adorned with a Camel satin ribbon and neat bow along the opening edge. Inside, a double pocket contained the couple’s wedding invitation and enclosures. This invitation was adorned with a several Swarovski crystals to add glamour. This invitation provided guests with a first look into this elegant soiree.

We also worked with Sonia and Travis to create their wedding day-of papers. At each place setting, a round menu, personalized with each guest’s name, sat perfectly in the middle of a glimmering charger plate under a bow-shaped napkin with blinged-out napkin ring. Personalized menus add such a special touch to a reception, as they make each guest feel acknowledged and welcomed. We continued using mochas and browns and the couple’s damask pattern throughout the other day-of papers, including table numbers and escort cards. Swarovski crystals were placed on these items as well.

We were thrilled to be part of Sonia and Travis’s gorgeous wedding! We’d love to work with you to create the perfect papers for your wedding… contact us for a complimentary design consultation.

Last month, we were a part of the Perfect Wedding Guide Orlando networking event at the new Up The Creek Farms. The entire evening had a warm, welcoming atmosphere, thanks to the coordination and styling pros of L.I.F.E. Events. The venue has a rustic atmosphere that was amplified by the vintage Southern decor. Colors for the evening were hues of coral and navy blue with touches of sunshine yellow, which was seen in the vintage furniture brought by Crystal and Crates Vintage Rentals, the floral arrangements from Buds Etc Floral Studio, and the cake by Best Little Cake House, and our paper goods. We’re happy to share some beautiful photos by Bumby Photography.

We created fun, whimsical pieces for this event. Our custom fans did triple duty! Guests could cool themselves, use the fans as props in the photo booth, and also read the credits for the participating vendors. On one side, we printed old-Southern sayings like “Bless Your Heart!” and “I Do Declare!” while the other side was printed with the list of event sponsors. The curved frame die-cut shape gave the fans a pretty and classic look. Floral artwork in shades of coral decorated the corners of the fans and was also featured on the rest of our paper goods.

The custom table cards were another cheeky element that we made especially for this evening. Mounted on navy blue tent cards, we created signs with stereotypical Southern “tips” such as “Be a one-person welcome wagon” and “Have a signature cocktail.” The cards were backed with various patterns of coral plaid behind a layer of sunny yellow card stock.

P is for Pie Bake Shop provided a dessert buffet stocked with traditional Southern treats. We created round signs on picks for many of the desserts, including pecan pie, s’mores, and berry and lemon cream “cutie pies.” Each of the signs featured a single flower to follow the artwork motif. For the specialty “hummingbird cupcakes,” we made a sign on a navy tent card in a similar style to our other table cards.

We love designing invitations and paper goods that are unique and created specifically for a particular event. Make sure you’re following us on Facebook to see examples of our work.
