My Fair Wedding: Alice in Wonderland Episode

Jessica + Eric

For a wedding being planned by David Tutera that was taking place at the Atlantis in the Bahamas, the invitation needed to be very dramatic. Jessica and Eric also knew that they wanted BLING! Placing a modern block font next to an extremely ornate script was the foundation for the dramatic look that we created for this invitation, which was then silk screened onto mirrored lucite. The insert cards were foil stamped in a matching aqua color on white metallic paper. All parts were adorned with Swarovski crystals to add a lot of extra sparkle. The invitation was then mounted into a custom shantung silk box which was adorned with a silk ribbon and crystal buckle. The silk box was wrapped in shimmering tissue, placed in a white mailing box and wrapped with a large silver band foil stamped with their return address and calligraphed with the guest's names and addresses. Custom stamps completed the look and set the tone for this destination wedding. The programs, menus, table numbers and escort cards were printed in the same aqua color on white metallic paper.

Kristen + Justin

After showing us different images of invitations she had found online that she liked, we used different elements from each and put it all together to create the look and feel she wanted. We used a beautiful, ornate, Italian-made paper and Victorian ornamental designs for the layout. The invitation was letterpressed onto cream cardstock and the envelope was lined in the Italian paper. The invitation then slipped into a navy sleeve which was also wrapped with the Italian paper. The wrap then held the inserts on the back of the sleeve. The resulting invitation was as elegant as Kristen had envisioned!

Berta’s Bridal Shower

The Matron of Honor, Berta's Aunt, hand drew the fruit design that became the theme throughout this event. Not only was it used as a logo on the invitation, but it adorned the coordinating custom stamp and was a frame for a thank you note. With a shower invitation like this, her guests couldn't even imagine the wedding invitation that was to come! (coming soon: Berta + Paul)

Lauren + Alex

Lauren was a bride on a mission! She knew she wanted a pocketfold and to use gold and pink metallic papers. She had also seen an invitation with a wrap around it that she loved and wanted something similar. We chose a dramatic script and a clean bold block font to convey the elegance and formality of the wedding. Using the same patterned paper as the invitation bottom layer, we created a belly band to fit around the pocket fold. The bride had yarn custom died to match her chosen papers, which was then wrapped around the bellyband for an extra touch! Using the same paper colors and fonts from the invitation, we then created an elegant program to match.

Jordana + Jonathan

This couple knew that they needed both English and Hebrew on their invitation, however, they wanted something more unique than the traditional folder used for 2 language invitations. Knowing that they wanted to incorporate letterpress, a swirl design and paisley - we created a elegant invitation which was elegant, unique and fun! The paisley pattern was letterpressed tone on tone on white cotton paper and was carried throughout their wedding stationery. With a hint of the red paper showing, the English Invitation was mounted on one side and the Hebrew on the reverse – it gives the illusion of being two invitations!
