Sarah + Joel Wedding Invitations

These might be the classiest little invites I ever made. Just call me Ron Burgundy.

R + T Wedding

Rachel and Tim are two of my favorite people. When they told me that they were getting married, and once I'd worn myself out fist pumping and jumping up and down,  I begged them to let me design their wedding invitations. Thanks, Rach, for saying yes :)

These invites are a bit smaller than average, standing at only 6" and are printed on aspen wood. 

E + C Wedding

pretty little pink invitation. Just the perfect color for a June wedding. Emily's main color is blush pink with accents of poppy, sage, mint and burlap (is that a color? well, the color of burlap). She is possibly the most laid back bride I've ever worked with. She very much spoiled me. I'm sure with that attitude she will have a beautiful and enjoyable wedding day. Congrats, Emily!

E+S Wedding Invitation

Invitations for a very classy New Year's wedding.

It's hard to tell by my horrible photos, but these invites use beautiful textured creams and shimmer papers. I also lined all 165 of the envelopes in glittery gold paper, so when you open it up...POW! It's a party! Once you break the black satin ribbon seal, the invite folds open and a side flap contains the RSVP Card and envelope, Reception Invitation and Accommodations Card.

E + S Save The Date

ack from the dead! I took the summer off, but am back with a handful of Save the Date designs. If you would like to purchase any of these designs, or see them in different colors, just shoot me an email!

R + L Wedding Invitations

hen Rachel approached me about designing her wedding invitations I thought to myself, "this is going to be good...muhahaha!" Few clients let me experiment on their wedding invites, but Rachel, being the creative adventurer that she is, gave me the go-ahead. Wahoo! My first order of business was to print them on wood. And isn't the final product so lovely? I want to print everything on wood now. My second thrill during this project was working with Emilie at Lief Design. She did all of the beautiful calligraphy.

Now that I've branched out a bit with my print production, I wonder what else I can print on besides paper...any ideas? Or maybe the better question is, anyone willing?

What I have to go through to get a decent picture...

But isn't she so cute?

N + P Save the Date

My little Natalie is just growing up so fast! *sniff*

M + A Finished Wedding Invites

As you can see by these photos, I don't have the greatest camera nor any photo-take'n skill...bear with me. It's probably not going to get better. I feel the need to say that every once in a while...

Since Miss Molly "Soon-To-Be-Bottorff" lived in my current hometown of Chicago for a while, I thought it would be appropriate to take her invite photos from my roof - where I have a bit of a view. Let me also add that the envelope and the navy backing SPARKLE. Also, the printing quality looks horrendous in these photos. I PROMISE in real life they look nicer. Blame it on my dodging, burning and sharpening (that's photoshop talk). I PROMISE the banding doesn't exist!!! ....promise.

R + L Save The Date

Rachel and Loren's email Save The Date.

Lot -o- work in the hopper

After almost a month of silence I figured I should post something just so people know I'm alive. I have a lot of half finished projects and a few just floating out there waiting on me to do something with them...SO. Here are a couple runner ups for Rachel + Loren email Save The Dates. Final design coming soon...

M + A Save The Date Runner Ups

Even though they didn't make the cut, they will always have a place in my...hard drive... Stay tuned for the winning STD (it's just so much easier than writing Save The Date)

Tied the Knot

Well folks. That's it. I'm married! Mr. & Mrs. John and Suz :)

Thanks to the amazing Katie Day (she blogged about 200 more of these photos on her site) and many MANY coffee filters (the main ingredient in making those hundreds of white puff balls hanging from the ceiling).

Oh, and don't miss checking out the wonderful neck ties Emilie and I made for all the guys. I might have pooped out in the end...
