Deep magenta madness!

Hello, good afternoon readers!  Boy it's hot!  A little too hot to be working - or even doing anything for that matter! 

It's the peak of the wedding season for florists, photographers and cake makers, however not for us.  Our peak season is 6 - 12 months before then as we create couples' wedding invitations giving their guests a first glimpse in anticipation of their special day.  However, we have been busy creating some lovely table stationery for couples for their actual days.   So, without hesitation I'm sure you'd love to see some photos (!), the first of which was us getting creative.  The bride couldn't decide what she liked until she saw some beautiful hearts on our page so Daren, the graphic designer got going and created very similar to be included on her stationery.  Printed on cream card, her colour was deep magenta, almost red wine colour.  When we printed a try-out we decided that the heart needed just something more to finish it off so I decided to add a cream handmade bow.  This is the result:

These are their place names, the heart is cut in such a way so it 'pops' up.  They have guests' menu options on the reverse too.

Feeling blue .... and a little bit cream ....

We've done lots of wedding stationery this year and the way our diary is filling up, we will be just as busy next year too which is all good - it pays the bills!

One design we have created is a little bit different.  We called it 'Pin Cushion' design, because of the look of the beautiful scattered pearls that look like the top of pins in a pin cushion!  The couple in question's colour scheme was navy, cream and they decided to have pearls with their day and evening invitations.
