Real Wedding: Lisa and Benjamin, V
Here is a last look at today’s gorgeous wedding. The bride put her heart and soul into designing a wedding that reflected she and her fiance’s unique personalities and style…and it shows. The end result was nothing short of lovely.
The really good stuff from the bride…
The programs took a while to complete. I bought all my paper from the Paper Source because they made it so easy with all the different paper/envelope choices. I printed out one of my favorite quotes on a piece of vellum. An image of the scale was underneath. This detailed shot I took was symbolic because the scale’s weight was set on 12, which was our wedding date and this image was used on our save the dates as a teaser to what people would see at the reception. I tied everything together with an “antiquey” ribbon that was also used on the favors.
We used wish rocks as a paperweight for the programs. It was also used for a moment of silence for all of our friends and family to bless us with good thoughts. The rocks were then collected and we have them in our home as a source of good energy.
The pound theme was even displayed in the favors. A couple days before the wedding my 2 bridesmaids and my mom & dad helped me bake mini bundt pound cakes. Then we wrapped them in tulle with a thank you note and a pound quote. That was a great day, though tiring, because it really helped my friends and my folks bond.
My favorite piece of collateral though was the table seating cards. I designed a three dimensional mini tent card piece, shaped like little gram weights with the table numbers on them. I had used the gram weight shape as a border throughout the collateral. It took me forever to cut them out, but it was well worth it. I then used a metallic pen and hand wrote everyone’s names on them.
I worked with Stephanie Masquelier at Flours to design a cake that went with our look. I designed a modern look by using the circle from our logo. It was a 3 tier round fondant cake made up of white cake with organic raspberries and crème mousseline.
Because I had such a great experience designing my own wedding I’ve decided to start my own personalized invite company called The Gala Girls. I really want to share my experience as a former bride and my extensive design experience to help other couples develop an identity system and theme for their special day. My services will be a melding of graphic designer and event planner to make up a couple’s event experience.
Thank you so much to Lisa for sharing your big day with us! And to Tanja Lippert for inspiring us yet again!
