Rose's program

Continuing with the themes of blue and lime green, dot matrix text, and the funky gears from her wedding invitation, Rose's program features all of these elements in a simple yet elegant design.

Genny's escort cards

To carry the theme of elegance with her colors of purple and red, we used the familiar swirls and lines from Genny's program to create her escort cards. Below is a sample.

Custom cheese labels for Genny

I have truly enjoyed working with Genny, whose wedding will be taking place in Portland, Oregon in mid-September. Her family owns a dairy in Wisconsin, and their unique favors will be wheels of cheese from the business! I thought this was such a lovely idea, and I jumped at the chance to make a festive label for the gifts. Genny will be ordering labels from http://www.onlinelabels.com and printing out the labels in a gloss finish. More from Genny's design suite to come!

Rose's menu

Rose and Dennis' wedding is going to be at the top of the Wells-Fargo Tower in Los Angeles (Have you seen this place? It's incredible!) and so they wanted to incorporate some city skylines in their design suite. If you're not already drooling over the food selection, you'll love her ideas for the menu layout!

These will be printed on 8.5x11 card stock and cut in half to make two menus per page.

Rose's wedding monogram

Rose contacted me to do a suite for her based on her fun invitation, which features a lovely green and blue with gears and a cute robot! This custom monogram is the first item in her wedding suite, which includes table cards, place cards, and a program. More to come!

Wedding invitation suite for Becky

Becky and her amazing U.S. Marine fiance Doug are getting married in December, and she wanted a classy invitation suite to honor Doug's service. I was so thrilled to be asked to design their invitations. Becky will be uploading these to VistaPrint and having the Directions and Accommodations cards be a double-sided single note card. Dates and other contact info have been changed.

Two new wedding programs

Custom Printables is excited to offer two new wedding program covers, both of which can be adapted into invitations or save-the-dates. See "Rina" for how it's done.

Custom monograms for Kisha

Kisha was referred to me by Cicely, another wonderful Custom Printables client. Kisha is getting married next October and requested three custom monograms based on the colors from some beautiful inspiration boards she had sent me. Her monograms have a lot of symbolism and meaning to her and her fiance. I was thrilled to work with such a wonderful client who has so much creativity! Kisha's wedding website is www.hoppinthebroom.blogspot.com. (Hop on over!)


Kisha said, "IT'S P-E-R-F-E-C-T! THANKS I LOVE IT!"
