More from Amanda and John's wedding

It's been a few days since we've posted here, and Custom Printables is brushing off the dust from a move from small-town Carrboro to big city Durham! We're so excited for the new place, which means more space for design work, and perhaps a nice little inspiration/work nook for me! I'll post some shots of my blank canvas, which is a fabulous dormer window in the bedroom that's just wide enough for a desk and some pretty pictures.

In the meantime while we unpack and get everything unloaded, here are some more pieces from Amanda and John's wedding on the 19th of June.

Let's start with my favorite piece, the seating chart.


Next, the couple's program, which was printed as a double-sided piece.



Because the couple used a seating chart, these place cards were used at each setting.



Finally, we created these table numbers using their signature monogram and swirl.

Amanda and John were just married on Saturday! It was so much fun working for them, making a classy set of day-of-event pieces. We'll kick off their collection with the menus Custom Printables designed for them.


Stay tuned for more fun pieces from their wedding!

Nicole and Chad's seating chart

Using Nicole and Chad's monogram and colors, we designed a seating chart for the couple's guests.


They'll be mounting it on heavy board and standing it on an easel so friends and family can easily find their tables. A seating chart is a great alternative to escort cards - and a lot less time-consuming!

Nicole and Chad are getting married this weekend in Toronto. I can't imagine they'll have anything but perfect weather and a lovely wedding day. We're introduce their day-of-event pieces today with their monogram, based on the "Vanessa," and their menus, featuring stripes and polka dots.
