Custom Aisle Runners & Candles - Butterfly Design

I've been working with Lisa for awhile on her wedding and we've created everything from her very custom invites to her own custom vow cards for the ceremony. She has a pink and brown butterflied themed event coming up on May 22nd and I'll post later all the items that I've already helped her design. But I wanted to share some of the items that she had ordered from I Do Originals. Lisa ordered a custom aisle runner, unity candles and a candle in honor of her grandmother, and she had me send them the custom designs over to the company so everything would match her wedding. I was so excited to see everything when Lisa shared the blog link with me. I can't wait to see everything in person, since I'll also be the photographer for the wedding.www.Idooriginals.com do beautiful work and if you want that special custom touch, you should check them out. They do everything from custom aisle runners to custom parasols and more.

Color Inspirations {Magenta & Teal}

Bold colors make a statement at a wedding and I think the jewel tone magenta and teal give a bold and also elegant look to any event.

Color Inspirations {Yellow & Gray}

In the past few months we've been seeing a lot of yellow in gray. It's been appearing In fashion, ads and it's even showing up in weddings. It's a great color combo that is modern and fresh. Check out our inspiration board and also a sample of an invitation using the yellow and grays.

Custom Invitations - Passport Travel Theme Invitation

When Kim and Anand contacted me and told me their vision of their travel theme wedding, I knew that this would be a fun wedding to work on....and I was right!! Kim is so creative and we were always on the same page when it came to the design of her wedding ensemble. We started with the oversized passport invitation complete with boarding pass RSVP card that you tear off and send off as a post card. The funny thing was that most of the guests didn't want to send it back...they wanted to keep it with their invite...that was a nice compliment :) Next we designed the programs to look like a road map and also the table names that were named after countries that Anand and Kim would like to visit one day, we even had a landmark picture of the place on the back of the table name. Finally the favors that Kim found were these cute tin suitcases and I designed labels that doubled up as the seating cards for the reception. Check out the whole wedding design below.
