Lee and Mark were referred to us by the fabulous Janet Capocci at the Sheraton in Cuyahoga Falls. We met with them when it was still 80 degrees outside - but with Lee's amazing communication and organization, it didn't take long for me to 'get on board' with the elegant winter wedding they were planning. Working with a color pallet of warm rich red, soft silver, and crisp black, we designed a 6x6 pocketfold invitation with a customized front square that we carried through to the ceremony programs as well. When Mark's mother came to town to visit, we met with her and Lee to design a rehearsal dinner invitation to coordinate. All three are shown below.
Though I loved the invitations and programs, my favorite part of their order was the accessories. Lee and Mark wanted to name each table at the reception after a place that they had traveled together and also include a photo and description specific to the location. As I worked on the individualized layouts and got to know more about them, I just knew these table cards would be a big hit for their guests! Lee even got creative with the place cards using fun phrases such as "Join us for a drink at...", or "Your destination is...". We also provided the adorable snowflake place card holders which could double as table favors for their guests to place a photo or note in after the wedding.
Lee and Mark - you are the type of clients that we dream of working with! I especially loved that Mark was so involved in the process from start to finish. Mark - I will remember our goofy 10 minute discussion about inserting invitations into envelopes every single time I present a sample to a client! It is true that I actually cried a little when viewing your photos (a few of my favorites are below) and we already miss seeing you on a regular basis. You are such a sweet, loving couple and we wish you two the very best that life has to offer!
