Destination Wedding Passport Invitations | Ocho Rios, Jamaica

My out of state clients, Lauryn and Sam, are planning a beautiful destination wedding in Ocho Rios, Jamaica next month. Each time I work on destination wedding invitations it makes me want to smuggle into their suitcases so that I can steal some of the beautiful sunshine and sandy beaches...aaahhh one day!

For their wedding invitations she decided to do a custom passport booklet invitation in the simple color palette of Fuschia and Cream. I like to design my passports with both tradition and personality. I used simple floral graphics throughout just to give this set a unique touch.

Baby Shower Invitations | Premiere Party Tickets

The next best invitations I love designing, besides weddings, are baby shower invitations! I recently designed these fun ticket style invitations for a hollywood star themed baby shower. Each guest received a VIP ticket as their entrance to the party.

The expected arrival even has her own star on the walk of fame!

Baby Shower Invitations | A Pea In The Pod

First comes brides, then comes the babies....

Here is a recent baby shower invitation that I designed for a precious pea in the pod theme. A simple cardstock panel invitation was transformed into this cute keepsake for the parents-to-be and their guests.

Boarding Pass Style Save The Dates

Destination weddings are still remaining a hot trend with my 2010 brides. I have been working with Kelly long distance as she plans her destination Jamaica wedding from Washington D.C. We are custom designing travel inspired save the dates and wedding invitations for her, with an underlying theme and color scheme of the infamous Tiffany & Co. (and starfish).

Her boarding passes are held in a pocket holder with a fun tag to introduce guests to the travel theme. *Note the signature Tiffany & Co. blue holder with white satin ribbon.

When designing stationery such as these I like to make the design as detailed and authentic as possible. I am very excited at how much this looks like a real boarding pass but yet it still has a stylish wedding appeal.

Corporate Branding | Wedded Luxe

During the fall season of last year I had the wonderful opportunity to work with one of my wedding planner buddies in NY, Deniesha Joseph of Wedded Luxe, on her new corporate branding project. "D" was set to launch a whole new business name and look for 2010 and requested my assistance to help her with her branding.

We began designing with her color palette of yellow, grey and orange...but the orange was quickly dropped after a few proofs. She wanted her new look to be luxurious yet modern and fun. Her design portfolio for her new brand:
