When meeting new brides to be, our initial consultation involves taking time to figure out their style, any colors that will be incorporated into their wedding, formatting and all the small details they want for their custom invitations. Do they want square or rectangle invitations, single panel or pocket fold, shimmer or handmade papers, color ink or black. There are many factors invoved when designing an invitation. Many times brides leave it in our hands to create their one of a kind wedding invitation, which we LOVE and we're always ready for the challenge!
When meeting with Suzy and Ryan about their destination wedding invitations we had many key elements to work with when creating their samples. Shimmer card stock, electric blue color, pocket fold style and sand. When creating their design we decided to show them two samples both containing all four items but showing off a different style.
Sample #1
On the first sample, we decided to create a landscape pocket fold in a white shimmer card stock. The invitation was printed on white card stock and bordered with an electric blue shimmer card stock with lots of sparkle. We went with a trio of palm trees sitting in a bed of real sand. The reply post card and info card were kept in suit having a landscape formatting. When placed in the pocket the cards laid cascading from right to left instead of up and down.

Everything was sealed together with a shear shimmer blue ribbon and name tag with a matching palm tree image.
Sample #2
With the second sample we used the same style and color papers. This time we went with a portrait style pocket fold. The invite had a single palm tree image on a smaller bed of sand. The reply post card front side and info card was in a portrait style format. When in the pocket these cards will cascade up and down. The front of the post card and outer tag had the same palm tree image as the invite. The info card in this sample is layered with the same electric blue card stock used under the invite, giving a little more cover to the pocket side of the invitation.
These two samples are a perfect example of how key elements wanted in an invitation can give off two different looks. Each sample was printed with different fonts which were chosen by the couple, this way they could see the difference when printed.
Which sample did the couple go with??????
