Happy New Year. After that cold spell a few days ago, aren’t we all ready for a little snow shower? If it’s going to freeze, I think we should shiver in a blanket of white. There is something very pretty about a simple snowflake. Here is the story of how one transformed a July wedding. Yes, you heard me, July.
Several years ago, my sister and brother-in-law came to me searching for the perfect wedding story to enhance their invitations. After a few conversations we settled on a sweet and simple story they told me about their engagement. The entire suite consisted of several 4″x 4″ stacked square cards tucked into a hand-sewn cream fabric pocket and placed into a decorative square envelope.
Quickly we had the story, then the words developed, but we still needed the ART. We decided to commission a dear friend of the bride. This subtle cream snowflake illustration was painted with watercolors and then used as the central focus throughout the wedding. Taking advantage of the talents of a friend or family member to create your artwork, saves on costs and adds that “something sentimental” to your day.
Small response cards, doubling as escort cards, were die-cut into circles and hung on a tree of brown branches to look like snow. Guests removed them to find their table.
Little square Thank You Cards were included in the stationary suite. They were printed at the same time to save money, but sent after the affair. If you or someone you know is planning a winter event (or even one in July), Take a look a this blog by the Offbeat Bride – Alter your thinking. I hope it alters your plans.
Thank you to my dear loyal readers. Contact Kim at Heirloom to design your next event whether large or just a simple snowflake of an idea.
For the bride who is not interested in the ordinary, Heirloom has created a twist on the traditional. LOVE NOTES ®, exclusively by Heirloom, provide a sentimental way for a couple to express their thoughts, and bring their guests to tears, just before they walk down the isle.
Little love letters are written privately by the bride to the groom and by the groom to the bride. They are luxuriously printed and tucked into a small, coordinated envelope along with a thank you note, entitled “LOVE NOTES”. When guests arrive, instead of reading a traditional, and sometimes boring, wedding program, they are surprised by love letters from the couple. Isn’t that what it’s all about anyway?
