Meghan & Jake
Everything about Meghan and Jake’s wedding was absolutely beautiful. Their invitation suite was the perfect opening to what would be a wonderful New York wedding. From the beginning, Meghan knew she wanted to include letterpress in her invitations. having the words physically pressed into the paper is such an elegant way to introduce the tone of your wedding.
We included a lot of hand painted florals in this invitation suite! Most of the painting I did was of greenery and hydrangeas, but we also featured their beautiful venue, The Bedford Post Inn, on the main invitation. That card as well as the smaller custom cut details card, included smaller looser painted florals. The custom cut gate fold enclosure featured larger and more detailed hydrangeas, while still keeping that whimsical feel.
For the cocktail hour and dinner, we wanted to bring back those same hydrangea paintings to create some really beautiful menus and table numbers. For the cocktail hour, Meghan chose a linen-bound menu with the drink selection featured on the inside. We also used the MJ monogram for some custom napkins on the tables. At the dinner table, we went with the smaller hydrangeas, and created some peek-a-boo linen-bound numbers. The cocktail hour also featured a multi-layered signature cocktail menu, with a hand painted espresso martini.
One of my favorite wedding day elements, was the floral pick escort cards. Each flower placed into the floral arrangement included a guest’s name and table number. This was such a fun, interactive way to help guests find their seats.
