jewel-toned wedding | Creating Heirlooms

Imagine designing your life-changing event around a bird, albeit a gorgeous fowl. These two cuties did.

Nicole Ponist and Devon Simmons met their junior year in high school at Central Bucks East. It’s fortunate that they met because they had so much in common, sort of.

The couple approached Heirloom to design their 2013 “Peacock Inspired” wedding suite. Heirloom took the challenge. Since we had the dear bird for reference, colors were easy. Jewel-tones print very well, but we needed a concept. How does a designer take two similar but drastically different personalities and combine them into one compelling STORY of Love?

I began by pointing our their similarities, I mean differences, with little bubble pages and bound and entitled them…Birds of a Feather, a glorious tale of Nicole and Devon.

This is the cover of their 8-page wedding invitation book.

Inside, I tell the tale of how they met, why they love and on the last page, invite guests to their “flocking”, or ceremony of marriage. Dating images and jewel-toned bubbles convey their messages of loves & likes.

Giant Polka-dot Programs rounded out their suite and little hand-made round guest tablets and peacock pens made interesting Sand Castle Winery Placecards and Favors- all in one.

Even the funky response cards prove rsvp’s should never be dull.

I enjoyed the simple but very nice “peacockish” touch created with the little polka-dot table numbers. This is a great example of creativity ruling over cost!
