One part of the design process I most enjoy is personalizing the details of the wedding.. I love getting to know my clients and the things they love, the common interests they share, the places they have lived or travel.  All give me inspiration on how we can find small ways to make those into details- sometimes even surprises for the couples.

For this client we created a custom monogram with Lettered Olive to use throughout on printed items.

The bride’s family had a custom of having matchbooks printed with their photos.

We always like to do surprise details for the couple.

The bride’s hometown has a store that is famous for chocolate covered cookies that many people have as favors for their weddings. So we had them wrapped in her wedding cookies and created monogramed stickers for the packaging.

For this couple’s Oklahoma City wedding, we personalized the welcome bag full of local hometown tidbits and gifts for the guests as well as the bride and groom’s favorite treats.

It was hugely important to this couple to incorporate their Australian Shepards somewhow. We knew that there would be plenty of cake leftover so we created “doggie” bags for guests to take home with outtakes from the couples’ engagement shoot.

This couple was marrying under an antique Oak tree, so Lettered Olive created this image which we used on the cocktail napkins, ceremony programs, invitations, and dinner menus.

We custom printed sleeves for the getaway sparklers out of the same paper and pattern used throughout the wedding with a sweet little wish for the couple.

For a couple that loved wine (the groom was a collector) we set up a wine bar using bottles from his personal collection as well as finding a bottle that he wanted to add to his collection and had all of the wedding guests sign it in lieu of the guest book.

This couple was such a joy as you can see shining through from their photos. We planned this wedding weekend (New Year’s Eve rehearsal dinner, New Year’s Day wedding) at Marlsgate Plantation in Arkansas from afar with only one site visit. Oh, and the groom was running for political office, the bride on the campaign trail with him and finishing up law school. Of course it all came together and couldn’t have been more perfect. Liz Banfield photographed this fete for us. Lettered Olive did all of the pretty papers.

I was so happy for my friend, Cornelia when I learned she was expecting a baby girl and that I would be the Godmother! I teamed up with some girlfriends and Lucy Cuneo Photography to put on a sweet but sophisticated shower to celebrate, which is also being featured now on Lonny Mag.
