We love working with our Lettered Olive team to design custom patterns and or monograms, etc. for our brides to use on their wedding papers and throughout the wedding design. But, if you are looking for some ideas on where you can source some of our favorite design elements like pillows, fabrics, napkins, and papers to use at your wedding, here are some of our favorites!  We’re also showing you how we use them!

We love to print fabric with patterns or monograms to cover our bars or even in some small tent ceilings as draping. Or as pillows to use on lounge furniture (and then use in your home after the wedding!) A great source we’ve found for this is Spoonflower.com. The great thing about Spoonflower is that they have amazing fabrics already printed and ready to order. Tarah and Molly from Lettered Olive give us their favorites…

Probably the most affordable way you can really give your event a “custom” touch is by incorporating paper- we use to line the trays that appetizers are served on, to wrap inexpensive cylinders that hold candles, and to accent the welcome gifts/favors/printed materials used throughout the event.  Paper Mojo has some very beautiful and interesting designs that easily look as if they were custom printed.

Also, zazzle.com is a great place to print stamps, tote bags to use for welcome gifts, and so many items for favors, wedding party gifts, etc.

This beachfront beauty took place at the amazing Ocean Course on Kiawah Island, SC. Glam gold accents dot the seafoam and teal greens taken from the bride’s favorite Van Gogh painting.  Lettered Olive did all of the pretty paper, wedding cakes are from Jim Smeal, and Liz Banfield captured everything.

Thank you to Charleston Weddings Magazine for the spread featuring Annie Smith and Davis Warlick’s rehearsal dinner. The Spring 2015 issue is on newsstands now!

We loved working with Annie and Davis on their wedding weekend. It’s always a pleasure (and compliment!) getting to work with past clients- years ago, we designed and planned Davis’ sister’s wedding.  This navy and white color palette is always a classic and easily lent itself to the nautical details for their Yacht Club rehearsal dinner.

The invitations featured two custom crests- one with interlocking anchors and one with crossed oars.

The community table featured a runner printed with compasses and ships and vases covered with hemp rope all complimented the nautical feel without being too “themey”.  Menus, place cards, plate and tray liners, and guest Welcome packaging by Lettered Olive.

Look at that handsome couple!
