Keara & Erik's Watercolor Swan "G" Monogram and Floral Invitations

Keara and Erik commissioned a watercolor monogram for their married initial "G" in the shape of a swan. The Mill Lakeside Manor is known for its swans, who can be seen swimming on the lake most of the year. The monogram was used for their pastel and floral wedding invitaions. Covid-19 caused their original wedding plans to change, and then their second date to be postponed. They had a small, backyard wedding with family, and the reception party will (hopefully) be held later this year.

Key West Wedding at Truman Little White House

Mandy and Ed first came to us for Save the Dates for their Key West wedding. For their wedding invitation, they wanted an informational booklet for their guests to be able to use while visiting the island. First we created a watercolor painting of their venue, Truman Little White House, and used it as the cover of their destination wedding invitation.

Included in the book were a letter to their guests, accommodations information, and a custom map corresponding with the following page of "phony ads"for real places they enjoy on the island and other useful information.

RSVP postcards used a digital illustration of the Conch Repulic flag.

We also created an original monogram for their wedding brand, which was used in 

the booklet and later on cocktail napkins, coasters, stickers and favor tote bags. 

They loved their monogram so much they had a custom flag made!!

The Truman Little White House painting was used for ceremony programs 

and we loved their idea of using colorful fish on their seating cards.

Evolution of an Original Monogram

Last summer, we had the pleasure of working with Susan and Jason to design their wedding invitations. The invitations featured an original monogram design, which they later used on cocktail napkins, ceremony programs and menus, along with their wedding cake! Our original monogram designs start with a handful of sketch options, from which our clients are welcome to combine elements to create the monogram of their choice. Susan and Jason's final monogram was a combination of two of the original sketches. We worked up a revised sketch and then finalized the monogram in digital form. The bride’s mother had the monogram engraved on a custom cake knife, which we thought was a beautiful, thoughtful gift. Additionally, the couple used the monogram as a dance floor spotlight.

Alyssa & David's Blush & Soft Floral Wedding invitation

 

Here is a wedding invitation set from last September. Alyssa & David requested their first names be hand lettered for their wedding invitation. The lettering served as the focal point of their invitation, with the first letters extracted to make a monogram. The monogram was printed on hangtags, using letterpress and rose gold foil. The rest of the set complemented the foil's warm tone with blush and ecru cards and envelopes, as well as a subtle white and blush rose patterned belly band and envelope liner.
