Design Love Fest Mixology Party

I've had the biggest blog crush on Design Love Fest for a while now... and today I think it's turned into a case of borderline obsession. Who wouldn't want to be best friends with this beautiful group of people? Not to mention, these guys know how to throw a party! Their mixology soirée looks absolutely epic...

Morgan + Seth's Dark & Playful Wedding Invitations

Morgan and Seth love black, red, skulls and anything a little rock 'n' roll. They also happen to be my close friends who are getting married in May! Keeping this in mind, I knew designing their wedding invitations was going to be a blast. We wanted the invites to be a little dark, romantic, edgy and slightly playful... just like them.

Here's what we came up with... Along with a formal invitation, guests got a "ticket" to the show, a "flyer" for the reception, and a timeline of events. I'm so happy with how it turned out! A big congrats to them!

Starry Night : Save the Dates

I just finished up with a couple Save the Date design options for a friend's engagement party. By perusing her lovely Pinterest board, I found inspiration in the images of twinkle lights, glowing candles, blazing sparklers, and rich golden tones that all reflected the Midsummer Night's wedding theme. I'm so pleased with the way these invites turned out! Question is- which one will she choose!?

On the Job: Save the Date Design

Here's a sneak peak into one of the projects I've been working on. It's a Logo and Save the Date design I've been working on for my friend who's getting married in May! She wanted to keep it simple, natural- and incorporate one of those adorable photobooth strips we've been seeing everywhere! Here's what we've come up with so far...

Ello There Record Invitation

This may be my favorite invitation idea. Ever. These record designs were created by the adorable husband and wife team of etsy shop Ello There. It appears these designs have just been made to look like actual records, but I would venture out to even find some real vintage LPs for my invitations (about $1 each at thrift stores- why not?) What a nice keepsake that would be for those attending your event!

Confetti Invitations

I love love love surprises. So, I don't think I could ask for a better invitation in the mail than this one found at Oh Happy Day. Using exploding confetti poppers is such an ingenious idea! I can't help but think "Why didn't I think of that!?" I am in the invitation-making business afterall... That's just another reason it's so important to keep your eyes peeled for great ideas like this!

Woodland Papercut Invitations

I'm always looking for inspiration for my invitation designs here at work. When I came across aritist Jennifer Raichman of Woodland Papercuts- not only was I inspired, I was blown away. Each card she creates is custom designed and meticulously hand cut. I thought designing on a computer was tough work- but this goes beyond graphic design...it's incredible.  VIA
