Imitation is...

The focus of this post is my sister. She has found the man of her dreams and she sure does have some ideas as to how she wants her invitations designed when she does get married! She is a horse lover and lived out in Colorado for almost 10 years. She came across this wine called the Show which featured letterpress labels from a company called Hatch Show Prints. Hatch Show prints creates "Gig" posters. They are awesome and I hope one day to get down to Nashville and take a tour of their shop. Here is a link to their site. http://countrymusichalloffame.org/our-work/
Her save the date is a version of a Hatch "Gig" poster and the wine label combined, please note the Cowboy art is low resolution.
I told her when she gets engaged I will get a hi res version! The save the date is a 3 color design and has a holder for the save the date with a black band or ribbon. The monogram could be carried through out the invite or other items being used in the wedding. The monogram is made to look like a bandanna folded. The envelope is personalized with touches from the save the date and the monogram. The invite is still in the works and once that is complete I will post.

25 Wedding Color Combos

I saw this article on the knot.com and thought it would be nice to write about it. From time to time I suggest color combos on my blog. I figured I would mention this article because it cover so many options and that is awesome. I am a fan of bright colors and loved the green and orange combos. Another one I that I liked was the silver and gold. I have used those colors independently of each other but never together! The yellow, gray and silver is also popular as I have just completed a design for a client in those colors (I will post pics when I have spare moment). All these color combos are great and the next spec design(s) I start working on I will have to remind myself to refer to this article. If you have not decided on a color scheme or are looking for ideas check this article out!

Temecula Wedding Suite

The latest creation to come from Hitched is the Temecula wedding invitation suite. Designed in a bright purple, chartreuse, casaba and brown (however it does not have to stay that way) reflects a vineyard color scheme but does not go full on vineyard with a grape vine design. This design incorporates a vignette design with a serif and sans serif font, airing out the design with tracking, kerning and leading. A simple but striking invitation suite that includes the invitation, rsvp card, map, outer envelope, rsvp envelope. We also took it a little farther incorporating a menu, wine bottle tag, place card and table number. Take a look... And of course you do not need to get married in a vineyard to love this design!

This Years Xmas Card

As promised, but a little late! I planned to get this up earlier. I decided to use a few different colors this year that are non traditional. Fuchsia, Purple and Lime Green with some Grays. I used a purple pocket card to to house the card. The card has a fuchsia backer. I used a big blocky text with some smaller text. The outer pocket card also has a band that incorporates the ornament from the actual card and a band that says "happy holidays" in lime green. To add a little touch I included an ornament hook on the ornament.


I also designed my mom and dads Xmas card. For this it goes along the idea of a car scent tree. We used traditional Red and Green and made the tree red with a catchy holiday saying. The Tree has a hole punched in it and a ribbon is tied through. To add some extra kick we sprayed a holiday scent on the tree!
