Art Nouveau Photo Save The Dates

Sometimes it's hard to wait until it's time to send out the invitations to announce your big day to the world. Once your engagement photos are done, you might find sending a photo save the date is a great way to get everyone excited about the party you are so busily planning. The Art Nouveau graphics on these save the dates are a nice touch if you have a vintage style.
And what we especially like about these is that after the big day, Grandma can slip the photo out of it's place and put it into a frame and toss... er, recycle... the actual Save the Date!

New Favorite Save the Date

All paper is 30% Post-consumer waste recycled paper (including the envelope)!
The image started as a shot I took from my crappy camera phone on my walk back from meeting with Brigette for the first time after she mentioned an affinity toward Birch tree's.
And viola!

One hot wedding!

I had the pleasure of meeting Ashley and Jasonn last spring. We had a great time designing the stationery for their Chicago-inspired, vintage-chic wedding!

Step #1, Save the Dates!

When we first met Ashley showed me her antique engagement ring (which was GORgeous, by the way) and said she wanted the Save the Date to have the same antique and romantic feel. Check!

We came up with the skyline graphic using the illustration art of Ben Kutcher (an artist that was known for his work illustrating classic children's books in the early half of last century) as the base graphic.

Step #2, Invitations!

We had a great time designing their pocket style invitation and in the end came up with a pretty swanky artichoke design (yes, that's an artichoke flower! I didn't know they looked so pretty in "full bloom"!). We added a cool red wax seal to finish it off with some vintage love.

Step #3, Get Married!



Bella Pictures did a great job with the photography! The September day turned out beautiful, and in the end... Jasonn and Ashley lived happily ever after.

stationary evolution

I love being apart of other people's "happy" times. 99.9% of what I create for others is to announce something pretty awesome- showers, a wedding, a baby being born. The really great clients come to me for ALL these events! So here it goes- let me show you the evolution of Marc and Amy's happy times... Yes, you'll notice that Marc and Amy don't waste any time. Big things are happening people!
