{wedding re-cap :: details stationery suite}

i'v blogged about the cards i gave my bridesmaids before. they contain similar details to my invites.

when you're super attentive to details, a graphic designer in the family is like a gift from God. my sister, Flora designed all the stationery we had for the wedding. we had 2 sets of invites - for ceremony and the dinner reception.

the ceremony cards had turquoise details with brown background, and ...
 
... the dinner cards had red details with orange background.these set the color tone for the wedding. it was gratifying to see our idea evolve with the skills of Flora and Gurm's eagerness to mess with typography.
       

we had a very coordinated suite of stationery {sweet!!!} - programme booklets, stickers that were used for cake boxes, and pew cards.

this poster is practically a blown-up version of my dinner reception invite and it graced the entrance of the ballroom.

there were matching little cards that guests wrote on. we had this set up as a guest book alternative. again, it didn't cost us a bomb to have all these mitchy-matchy details. my sister was entirely behind this and we couldn't have had such a smashing day if not for her runnin' all over the place getting all of these done.

the result of my handwriting analysis: you plan ahead, and are interested in beauty, design, outward appearance, and symmetry. you are a social person who likes to talk and meet others. you are affectionate, passionate, expressive, and future-oriented. you are a talkative person, maybe even a busybody! you enjoy life in your own way and do not depend on the opinions of others.

i LOVE writing and used to practice my handwriting ALL the time in school. I even had different styles to match my mood.

now, its time to practice again, to address our wedding invites to the guests.

how exciting!

Gorgeous-ness

I'm lovin this. The design seems like a mixture of art deco and moroccan/indian. Since we are going a little indian with the bhangra and outfits, I'm thinkin this card will be perfect. Oh man, you guys in the States have so many choices, and I'm envious!

I have a huge d-i-y project underway. Bought orange paper bags (my wedding color/autumn palette), huge triangular ruler, penknife, colored papers over the weekend. Hopefully somethin nice will be churned out for my bridesmaids. & these cards are just fabulous.
