Wedding Invites for My Lovely December Brides

While finding the right partner for you is exciting, getting married is pretty much like leaping to an icy ocean—you know it's going to be scary and risky, but you jump in anyway all because you love to swim. Or at least, that's how I see it. Haha.

And on December 2014, 3 lovely couples will be taking the jump and they entrusted the announcement of their beautiful leap to me. I feel so honored and blessed to have sweet clients. :)

The couple's color motif was blush pink and champagne gold—very sophisticated. They wanted the overall look of the invite to be simple but pretty, it was a bit challenging to me since I tend to over-decorate sometimes, thank God I was able to pull it off nicely. I hand-drew peonies and roses as elements because it's Dawn's favorite flowers. I had this set printed at Illumina Digital Printing, also, shout-out to the wonderful staff of this printshop for accommodating my printing needs. :)

For this couple, a 3-page, pink and silver invite is what they wanted. The style is formal and baroque-ish but not heavy-looking. I was cautious design-wise since most of their visitors are honorable people. The bride was a good friend from highschool, it was really nice that she's finally settling down with a man that loves her so much.

This set has midnight and sky blue, purple and pink for its motif, so many colors! The style was laid-back and modern. Pol even bought me Kyle's Real Watercolor for Photoshop for this project, I was beyond happy. I had fun doing all its elements specially those forget-me-not flowers, each page was exciting because I have to come up with something more candid and quirky than the last one.

CONCLUSION: These invites made my October and September really stressed-out, panicky yet fruitful. I'm thankful for my clients' trust and patience, and I'm really glad they loved what I did for them. I wish them all a marriage blessed with love, patience and understanding.

Other: I sometimes worry that when it's my turn to walk down the scary aisle (not soon though) I'm already out of invitation ideas that I'll end up handing out a paper to my guests announcing that I'm getting married. Heck, I might just send them a text message. Haha. ;)
