Nassawango Country Club

Snow Hill, Maryland

Theme: lace, handmade, outdoors

Colors: cornflower blue, shades of pink

Location: Nassawango Country Club

Typically the colors used for your wedding invitations are the main colors used in your wedding. We've had many brides show us their wedding colors using everything from dress and paint swatches to fabrics and ribbons. Cassie came to us with something different. She brought us a lace swatch and wanted to convey the earth friendly feel with a color no one would be wearing in her wedding party, however it would be used in their hand made bouquets and as the color of her cupcakes design. Cupcakes??? That's right, we're using the color of frosting for cupcakes along with their flowers and matching it to the ribbon wrapped around the invitation.

Cassie was having multiple colors used throughout her wedding. The bridesmaids were wearing darker cornflower blue dresses but the flowers and other accents would be of a very colorful pallet. The other main accent was lace. Lace was on her beautiful dress, around each bouquet and bordering her gorgeous veil. So far we have peach/pink and lace what element is next????? Lets incorporate the "hand made" and outdoor feel that you will see throughout their wedding. We used our favorite recycled papers and hand crafted a unique invitation with a hint of modern and a touch of vintage formatting. WOW!!!! That's a whole lot of thought for one invitation. But that's what our couple did for their big day, put a whole lot of thought and love into every detail.

We always say how your invitation is an introduction to your wedding. Your wedding invitation allows your guests to see what they are in for and Cassie & Brett's wedding invitations show their guests just that. We married modern elements with a little bit of vintage in this classy outdoor wedding with only the environment as their back drop showing little details can have big meanings.

This hand made arch was made by the father of the bride. A beautiful piece that added such elegance to their nature filled back drop. What a great setting for a picture perfect outdoor wedding.

Ocean Pines Yacht Club

Ocean Pines, Maryland

Theme: Joys of Summer

Colors: Coral, Pink and Orange

Location: Ocean Pines Yacht Club

What do you think of when you're having a summer wedding??? How about mason jars, fireflies and daisies??? Of course!!!! What is Summer without those things? That is what our couple was setting there wedding theme on, the joys of Summer. We decided to go with the earth friendly theme as well with the invitations. We used two recycled papers in neutral colors and added their coral wedding color with two cascading photo corner ribbons and also used it for their names. Color can be added to any invitation in the most subtle ways.

Next up is the mason jars and fireflies. We wanted something simple and not too much like an actual bug image. We came up with a simple design of what this little summer bug is known for... their lights!!! Fireflies dance up the side of the invite and even on the reply post card and outer envelope as well.

The complete set: invite, reply post card and matching outer envelope.

We kept this suit going with wish cards. Using the same papers and fonts we used with the invites we made little cards the guest will be able to write their wishes for the lucky couple. We also squeezed on there a mason jar with a few fireflies.
