What's We're Working On: Angela & Brian's Wedding Invitations

We just received the most lovely note from our bride Angela & her parent and wanted to share with you:

Elaine,

The invitations came and are absolutely beautiful! You really do an amazing job--I now understand what your other customers meant when they wrote in their reviews about not wanting to send them out because they'd rather just stare at them. Thank you so so much. [My parent and I] are 100% satisfied. Thanks again! You have truly helped make our wedding all the more special with the beautiful invitations.
Angela, Ann & Jim

We started when Angela shared her inspiration board with me:

Isn't it so pretty? I LOVE it. So I suggested the Blush Pink Repossee Pattern from Anna Griffin created for Envelopements. We put it together with Tourmaline Pink, & Chanpagnium to create the most beautifully stunning invitation suite complete with Toumaline-lined Champagnium envelopes. We printed each of her 299 guests' addresses on the outer envelopes to give them that special touch. These pictures really don't do the justice at all. They are very sparkly and are just breathtaking.

What We're Working On: Jennifer & Jason's Wedding Invitations

We just shipped out Jennifer & Jason's Wedding invitations. We were sorry we had to send them away ---- because we love looking at them so much! They were too cute. Jennifer chose our Island Getaway wedding invitation suite and loved the colors so much, she didn't change a thing. After a nail-biting adventure of trying to get her back-ordered envelope liners shipped into the studio, we were able to finish them finished up and sent along their merry way to Jennifer. I am sure her guests will absolutely love them! Samples of this invitation style are also available for purchase in here.

Amy & Ben's Wedding Invitations

I'm doing a little backtracking because we have many invitation suites that we have done over the last few weeks that we haven't had time yet to share with you. One such stunning example is this suite we created for Amy & Ben. Amy ended up being very torn between 2 of our designs: the ever-so-popular Tree of Love design and our Flirty Flourished design. To help her decision, we created 2 mockups for her using these designs in her colors. They both turned out great but the Flirty Flourished stood out as the clear winner in my eyes. Amy & Ben agreed and we went forward. They turned out so beautiful.

We were so thankful that Amy chose to have us take part in her special day. We also recently shipped her Thank You notes and are in the proofing stages of her programs. Of course, we'll share both with you.  Amy was so sweet in her feedback she left us:

"Elaine was absolutely great to work with! My invitations turned out absolutely beautiful, I didn't want to mail them for staring at them! :) I love them so much, I'm having thank you notes and programs made by Sugared Ink in the same theme/colors."

What we're Working On: Christy and Dennis' Wedding Invitations

We shipped out Christy & Dennis' wedding invitations today. They are a great example of taking one of our designs and making it your own. She started with our very popular Tree of Love wedding invitation set. We took the pocketfold off, changed the colors & changed the fonts. They turned out really pretty. Because we make each invitation suite to order, brides have the freedom to change anything they want! I love this because each suite we do is totally unique!

What We're Working On: Cole and Bethany Save The Dates

Cole approached us with an interest in the Bicycle Built for Two invitation suite. We adjusted the colors to Plum, Yellow, & Gray to match their wedding colors and have produced their Save The Dates. This style of Save The Date is really unique because they are a tri-folded z-card. Next up will be working on their matching invitations. I just love it when we do each paper product in the wedding because they actually match and go together as oppossed to a big mish-mash. And they will look great sitting next to each other in the scrapbook!

What We're Working On: Sara & Daniel's Wedding Invitations

These are the cutest little invitations. This process was started when our lovely bride, Sara, shared her inspiration board.

Isn't it heavenly? I adore the pink & black. From the inspiration board, we suggested a pink scalloped invitation backed by a black cardstock, then tucked into a pink envelope. That is when she shared her artwork with us. The 2 duckies really took us by surprise. They are the cutest things & the idea behind them dates back to when her fiance and her were young. And her wording is just darling (...can we get a witness?)

We really had fun producing these invitations and we were so thankful that Sara picked us!

(these invites make me hopeful for spring...see the snow peeking through the fence rails?)
