Award winning designer Ceci Johnson on wedding invitations:
“Today, there is a wonderful return to personalization and attention to detail. Bridesmaids are going the extra mile for their girlfriends [the brides-to-be], and want to show they truly care for them. By sending a pretty, formal invitation through the mail instead of an online invitation, you show that you went to great effort to design them, and you provide a gorgeous keepsake for the bride. It’s something she can frame and keep in her home or scrapbook to be reminded of the thoughtfulness that her dearest friends put into her special day…” ~Interview from BridalGuide.com, by Sharon Naylor.While this may sound intuitive, brides today are often juggling jobs, school, kids, and the rest of the wedding planning on their own! How is a busy bride supposed to find time to create these memorable works of art?
Here’s how:
- Call us NOW to get the process started! 608-514-6247. One year to 6 months in advance is normal, but “rush jobs” of only 3 months in advance are possible- from creation of main invite, RSVP, and direction card (hand painted portrait included with watercolor elements) to mailing (calligraphy included).
- An artist will work with you throughout the entire process to ensure your absolute satisfaction. Commission an artist to have a charcoal painting done to be included on each invite! Include hand painted decorate elements (either scanned in and digitally replicated on each card or hand painted on each card) to truly make it an original work of art your guests can keep forever! Our calligraphists will provide your choice of script for an elegant touch.
Main Invite Commission
For example, the invite on the left (names changed to protect identities) was a recent commission by a bride who had a spring wedding. Her favorite flowers were lilacs, so the artist painted small lilac flowers and petals for her as a decorative element.
This bride also commissioned an artist to draw a charcoal painting of her and the groom for a keepsake they could hang on their wall.
The artist then scanned in the image and digitally placed it into the invite.
Finally, the invites were printed on archival watercolor paper as giclée prints. They served as wonderful keepsakes and many of her guests framed them while others saved them in scrapbooks.
(Keep in mind you are unlimited in your options!)
The RSVP cards were kept in the same theme, also printed on archival watercolor papers.
