Lauren and Frank's Save-the-Date

Lauren is so awesome to work with! I first started working with her last year on her sister's Bachelorette party invite. We just clicked! Since then she finalized her colors and we worked together to create a stylish Save-the-Date. 

She wanted something fun, but still very classy and elegant. With her colors being fuchsia, black and white. I used a fuchsia metallic paper with a ripped edge and black and white satin ribbon. The white satin ribbon laid on top of the black satin ribbon and was tied in a knot. 

The envelopes where printed using the same fonts and matching colors - including the fuchsia pink used to highlight the guests name.

It's usually the bride and I who really work together to design something, but Frank was there for most of our meetings and really wanted "something really nice". I was happy to get an email from Lauren after I dropped her save-the-date's off to her... "Just wanted to let you know that Frank LOVED them!" 

Jill and Jay's Save-the-Date

Close up of the card. They took those pictures themselves. How creative are they!

Jill is a very simple, modern bride. Her wedding colors are blue and brown. She came to me with the intention of doing a magnet for a save-the-date. She liked the idea of including a picture of her and her fiance on it.  When we discussed paper options and she saw the brown paper with the light polka dots - she had to have it. So from there, we added a photo strip of with a little tag hanging off a knot with their names and date. A matching blue envelope with custom printed addresses helped perfect her save-the-date.
