With the year coming to an end soon and the start of a new year, I have a few acquaintances that I know who will be getting married. I embrace the opportunity to create one of a kind designs for these future brides and grooms. It gives me chance to kind of go wild, not that I can't for my other clients but creating an invitation set for people I know is a chance to maybe do things I normally couldn't. My good friend is getting married next summer and although we have not started the process of design yet, we have discussed a few things and I cannot wait to get started.
I am creating one right now and is almost finished for a couple that will be getting married at the end of November. Steffanie and John will be married November 29th which is Thanksgiving weekend and the beginning stages of the Christmas holiday. They did not want to go with the traditional fall colors or use colors associated with the holiday season. They chose a green and a cream color.
I started the design with those colors and Steffanie had a few invitation designs that she liked. Steffanie and John finally chose a design based off another I had done. We discussed the option of a regular invitation set in an envelope but Steffanie had said that she really had her heart set on a pocket fold. I have access to various pocket fold companies and we chose one that fit the couples budget.
The invitation set shown will be nestled in a light gold pocket fold. On the front will be a 2x2 square with the couples first initials and will be held together by a green ribbon. The piece is not finished yet but when it is I will post a picture of the finished product.
Stay tuned for the pic and my new project!
