Vintage Button Wedding Invitation

Last summer, I was part of Steve Koo Photography's Website Launch Giveaway. The winner received tons of goodies, including 100 custom designed thank-you cards (or equivalent value) from Keg Design. Jennifer and Tavis were the lucky winners, and I had a blast working with them! Due to the small wedding ceremony they were planning in Australia, they decided to forgo the thank-you cards and had me design their wedding invitations instead. The suite included a 5x7 invitation card and #4bar RSVP card. The theme was vintage - Jennifer actually makes beautiful jewelry out of repurposed vintage buttons - so we had lots of fun with it! They were married this past March in Queensland.

Destination Wedding Invitation: Jordan & Ryan

I absolutely love how Jordan and Ryan's destination wedding invitations turned out! The full suite embodied the couple's vision of a sophisticated beach celebration. For the design, I started with the postage stamp element I created for Jordan's bridal shower invitations. This design element created a sense of consistency across communications and was the perfect vehicle to house their names, wedding date and location on all wedding pieces. The 5x7 invitation card featured an illustration of the Dominican Republic island. A star marked their wedding location in Punta Cana. The 2-sided RSVP postcard was probably my favorite piece. The front showcased an overhead photograph of their resort - Paradisus Punta Cana - which I treated with a painterly effect for a more graphic look. The back of the postcard housed the couple's return address as well as a reply section for guests. The shimmery silver envelopes tied all of the components together and featured the postage stamp design too.

Wedding Invitation: Caroline & Tanner

Caroline and Tanner continued the "rustic elegance" theme with their wedding invitation. The couple wanted to create more of a traditional feeling for their suite, so they decided to go with a 1-color design on ivory stock. The monogram looked beautiful in a rich chocolate brown ink and the "rustic" motif was continued through with a few smaller leaf elements on the rsvp and reception cards. The full suite was printed digitally and included a total of 6 elements: 5x7 invitation, 4bar reception card, 4bar rsvp card, 4bar rsvp envelope, A7 inner envelope and A7.5 outer envelope.

Beachy Bridal Shower Invitation

I'm so excited to share Jordan's "beachy" bridal shower invitation with you today. I designed these earlier in the year and had so much fun creating them. The cards were printed digitally on 14pt card stock with rounded corners. Each 5x7 inch card was finished off with a Keg Design logo on the back and accompanied by a silver A7 envelope. I added a little "sparkle" to the cards by using a transparent craft glue to affix glitter to the white coral motif in the upper right corner. I did all the calligraphy on the envelopes too. Jordan's wedding was last month in the Dominican Republic - hence the "beachy" theme. We used the postmark-destination logo throughout all of her wedding paper designs. Her wedding was beautiful - I can't wait to share more photos & details with you soon.

Wedding Invitation: Kim & Jeff

You might remember that I shared Kim and Jeff's beautiful Save The Date with you a few months back. A lot of time and exploration also went into their wedding suite. These invitations are one of my new favorites! Each piece was printed on premium card stock using raised thermography. I enjoyed "styling" the photo shoot of this set too - I used a lace backdrop and strand of ivory pearls. I love how each individual design compliments the next, but has its own unique look and feel.
