Adieu 2008

on January 15, 2009

No wedding season is ever the same. It brings new questions and inventive ideas. It also keeps us on the road at shows sharing our knowledge and our craft. But as we travel, talk and create, I find that at the end of each season, I have my favorite invitations, fonts and graphics. As we move into the 2009 wedding season, I'd like to take a moment to share with you those fav things!

Being an Envelopments Dealer is extremely exciting and fulfilling. The sky is the limit when designing a custom invitation with these papers. However, the Riley and Dylan sample was near and dear to me. I love simple elegance and I believe that like Tiffany jewelry--it never goes out of style. The design measured in at 7.25" in diameter but the layers gave it added dimension and personality. The neutral color scheme ranged from colors like diamond to pyrite. Very elegant without blaring at its recipient.

My favorite font was by far Mea Culpa! My husband said I became a "meafontnatic" during the last half of the year. It has so much personality without being overstated. Fonts on an invitation should be like accessories for a black dress--not too much so that the invitation and/or dress doesn't go unnoticed.

Adieu 2008! Stay tuned as we meander through this wedding season. Also congratulations to all the newly engaged couples! We wish you many blessings as you journey on your path towards marital bliss! ~MWAH!
