Cecilia & William are Getting Married!



Here's another beautiful and summery wedding invitation suite that I completed last month for a lovely couple in Georgia!  The bride, Cecilia, had been following Wedding Bee for a few months and had seen some of the work my company had done for different brides on that site and decided to contact me about creating a wedding invitation suite for her June wedding.  As you can see in the above photo of the suite, Cecilia and William's set included a T-Length wedding invitation and coordinating envelope and a 4bar size reply card with coordinating envelope.  Here is the invitation and invitation envelope: 


Cecilia and William's invitations were three colors: black, light blue and leaf green and the invitation and reply card were printed on Crane Lettra 100% cotton pearl white paper.  I love the way the blue flowers and green leaves and vines give the whole set a very warm, summery feel.  I also love that the design we ended up doing is a T-Length size.  This size is one of the more uncommon ones that I do for wedding invitations, but I really love the look of a long, skinny invite.  The envelope we chose to pair with the suite is from Waste Not Paper Company - it is their T-length size in Luxe White.  I love how most T-Length envelopes open on the short end and the flap has just enough room for a small, letterpress printed return address.  Cecilia asked for a deeper impression for her pieces, which I thought turned out really nice.  Here are a couple of close-ups of different parts of her invite so that you can see the pretty ink colors, fonts and impression better: 



Cecilia and William's reply card is a standard 4Bar size, which measures 3.5" x 4.875".  It is also three colors and featured the same blue and green viney flowers from the invite.  For the reply card envelope we chose a light green envelope from Waste Not Paper and made sure that the green ink we used for the leaves and vines on the pieces matched the color of this envelope. If you look at the envelope in the photo at the top of this post, you will see that we printed the return address for the reply envelope on the front in black ink.  Here is the reply card and envelope together:  


Here is one more close-up of this card so you can check out the impression, colors and pretty fonts: 


Cecilia and William were a pleasure to work with and I know that these invites are just the start of what's going to be a beautiful Southern, summer wedding this June.  Congratulations Cecilia and William!
