Wedding Details - Invitations

Finally! The wedding is over, I can breathe, and I can share with you my wedding invitations!

The invitation is a tri-fold accordian design based on the wedding design theme and some of our engagement photos. We got married outside on a farm, and had the reception in a barn, so I wanted the design to have a country feel to it. I didn't want to go all out "country western" though! The finished design was perfect, and I am so happy with how it expressed not only our wedding, but us as well.

Here is the finished piece:

and some more detailed studio shots without the ribbon and twine:

The design could have been done 2-colour on the press, but since I was only printing roughly 150, I printed them digitally at Globe Printers and took advantage of the four-colour process and added a full-colour photo and a creme tint in some of the light areas. Globe is awesome by the way, I work with them regularly at work and highly recommend them.

Hope you like them! As I've mentioned before, I really enjoyed designing the invites and look forward to working with brides in the future on wedding print pieces! Drop me a line if you're interested :)

Jodi and Russel! Its almost here!

Dearest Jodi, only 16 more days! Can you believe it? 2 years ago we were both single and crazy! just over 2 weeks from now we'll both be married and crazy. I've been missing you and thinking about you so decided it was a good time to blog about you, my dear friend, and finally share your wedding invites! Add to the anticipation a little, since I'm sure you're lacking in that area...not!!

I am SO EXCITED for Jodi and Russel!
You may remember their fun (and freezing!) Kamloops engagement session (see the original post here): 

 

Jodi also asked me to design their wedding invites. I have to say, it warmed my heart to be working on these invitations at the same time as I was designing my own. Somehow it makes it easier that due to our wedding dates, neither of us will be able to attend the others wedding. We keep having "Ok fill me in on all the planning you've been doing!" conversations and commiserating about the busyness of working full-time and planning a wedding. Its been fun, even though its been long distance!! 

So here are the invites: Jodi wanted something fun which incorporated their engagement photos as well as a beautiful poem she and Russel found. I have to say, on top of being a fantastic friend and room mate, Jodi makes a great client too :D. She gave me all the right information but also all the freedom to come up with something.

 

After this most special of wedding seasons, I have to say I thoroughly enjoy both engagement photos and designing wedding invites. So future brides...you know who to call!
