Amanda’s Wedding Invitations
It’s been crazy around here….between moving, traveling to the east coast for weddings, and invitation jobs, I’ve had my share of busy-ness. Emphasizing the ”busy” and ”ness” parts… It’s good though, sometimes I wonder if I secretly thrive on nonstop chaos. Is that bad? Is that wrong? I don’t know,… but I do think I get way more accomplished when my schedule is packed.
One of the jobs I have been finishing up are Amanda’s wedding invitations. My “happy” friend sent her over my way. I couldn’t be more thrilled. It’s been so fun working with Amanda. I’ve looked at her invitations so many times, I think I’ve already imagined the whole layout and design for her entire wedding day! I’m starting to think I may fly out there and crash the party! No, not really… don’t worry, Amanda! But, I am excited about her invitations.
Using the ornate initial as our base for design, I hand wrote the wording for the invitation, along with layering black, champagne, and white card stock.
To bring all of the pieces together, we used a black, grosgrain ribbon with the “G” initial clasping it together
I love the elegant and refined nature of this invitation and if it’s true that the wedding invitations set the guests up for what to expect at the wedding, I truly believe it will be an elegant gathering!
