Wedding Stationery

Your wedding should reflect your personal style. It should also be a comprehensive collection of one theme- from the invitations, to the programs, to the place cards, to the thank you notes. It can be overwhelming, but I can help you by helping you choose a theme that fits your personality and the type of wedding you are planning. I will worry about all the details and do all the printing, cutting and folding for you- so you can enjoy your special day!


6.6.2009 Theme: Blue cherry blossoms with orange accents; classic yet modern

I designed these table layouts alphabetically by last name. People just have to find their last name and table number, then go to their table and find their place card. It was easy and made for less traffic. The blue ribbon brings out that main color again and the floral piece in the background ties it all together.






I decided to have one menu per table, instead of one per person, both for the sake of paper and to use the menu as another focal point in the center of the table. It was easy to find, right next to the flower arrangement, and easy for all to read. Here you see the blue cherry blossom pattern theme as it is carried throughout all of the stationery.













The mugs were favors for our guests! We thought they were creative yet useful, and a great way to remember what a fun time they had at our wedding. The front is simple, showcasing our wedding date, our names and the location of the wedding. On the back is the blue cherry blossom design again. This may seem repetative but what its doing is helping people remember the theme after they leave your wedding- without continuity, there is no theme.











The invitation inner envelopes were on Stardream Flame cardstock and die cut to create a small pocket for the information cards. A piece of Mica Weave cardstock in Sorbet was used to add depth, texture and a contrasting color. White Stardream text stock was used for the information cards and main piece. The cherry blossom pattern on the sides was carried out throughout the whole wedding- from all the stationary, to the centerpieces, to the cake.






The ceremony programs were printed on Stardream white paper, which was a specialty paper with just a hint of shimmer. This same paper was used for the invitations and envelopes. The layout was a tall and classic 8 1/2 x 11 vertical page- easy to assemble! On the front page was an exerpt from "She Moved Through the Fair," an Irish hymn that was sung during the ceremony.













The place cards were designed more closely to the Save the Dates (not yet pictured) on white cardstock. On the back, the cherry blossoms are now white. The colors were reversed for variety, it makes the blossoms look like silhouette's for an artistic touch and it added a pop of color to the table arrangements. On the front, a simple line of polka dots nicely merges the blue and white sections on the front of the card together.
























I would be honored to design your dream wedding and create a beautiful theme for your special day! Please email if you have any interest and would like to discuss your ideas: mvesta9@yahoo.com. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
