Well, We are finally finished with creating our invitations. I happen to be a graphic designer and had a very clear idea of what I wanted our invitations to be. We COULD have bought invitations, we COULD have hired a designer, and a printer and had them all put together for us. But I never found any online, in stores or catalogs that reflected our wedding concept/feel. And honestly, everything just looked the same to me. I also thought it was better to spend virtually nothing on pieces of paper that are going to just be thrown in the trash, and instead have an ice cream sundae bar at our reception!
So, I thought I would post a tutorial of sorts showing how we created our invitations
Last weekend Periwinkle Dude and I attended a beautiful wedding. After 11 months of engagement, our friends “E” and “B” tied the knot and we were so happy to be there to celebrate with them! The ceremony and reception were held at the Sea Oaks Country Club, near the Jersey Shore. The country club was a bright and open airy space, with windows that looked out onto the pristine golf course below. Here is a shot of the ballroom from Sea Oak’s website:
I don’t know about you, but once I became a “bride-to-be” I started seeing all sorts of everyday things in a different light. Flowers were no longer just for birthdays, they were potential centerpieces or bouquets! Magnets were more than magnets, they were save-the-dates! And music, well song lyrics became the perfect inspiration for wedding vows. Take this song by Sarah McLachlan for example…
Attention all brides-to-be!!! If you will be in NYC on January 27 you might want to check out this “Wedding Bootcamp” event, brought to you by The Wedding Salon!
I’ve always wondered what it would be like to get married during the holiday season. There is something so magical about the time of year, and I think it would be a lot of fun to host a winter wedding in NYC. Want to see the details that inspire my imaginary winter wedding?
