Save the Dates

Filed Under Lollipop Invitations | 3 Comments

For these ultra chic and sophisticated Save the Dates we wanted to achieve a level of luxury while still having fun. The gorgeous textured cream card stock was set off by intricate silver foiling of a baroque bold pattern and a modern large typeface. The same baroque pattern was also repeated in a light transparency onto the dark chocolate brown belly band along with silver foiled accents.

What made these Save the Dates so unique was the way it was read. To add a level playfulness about it we created a vertical belly band that covered all of the event information below. When the recipient held the piece in their hand they read “SAVE” from the foiling on the card and then on the belly band it read “your memories for toasting”, “your voice for laughing” and “your feet for dancing”. Then when the belly band was removed you would read the entire title of “Save the Date”. How about some other fun ideas you could translate this design into? Like “SAVE: Water…drink champagne!”

Maui Wedding: The Invitations

Filed Under Inspiration to Creation, Lollipop Invitations | 8 Comments

When we were hired to do the event styling and coordination for a luxe Maui wedding, we started by designing the gorgeously glam invitations to set the tone for the tropical affair to come. Inspired by a vintage plate, we incorporated a peacock art nouveau illustration with accents of light blue, copper and some pops of jewel tones.

An oversized patterned belly band encased the textured tri-fold invitation which held an abundance of information, including the itinerary for the beach filled weekend to come.

Wine Trolley Wedding: The Invitations

Filed Under Lollipop Invitations | 8 Comments

To set the tone for the Wine Trolley Wedding (see the Save the Dates & Rehearsal Dinner below), we designed booklet style invitations. Inspired by the bride and grooms love of modern design icon Jonathan Adler, we incorporated a contemporary pattern that was foil printed in white onto wood grain paper.

The booklet contained the itinerary, a wine trolley map and illustrations of two owls sitting in a tree fusing the rustic country setting with a modern funky edge and playing off of the old classic song “Dustin & Brittany sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g…”

The RSVP card even had a place for guests to write their song recommendations for the wine trolley ride and ceremony. At the ceremony we gave some of the songs to the DJ who dedicated the particularly funny ones to the guests who had requested them!

Wine Trolley Wedding: Save the Date Invitations

Filed Under Inspiration to Creation, Lollipop Events, Lollipop Invitations | 10 Comments

You may have seen a glimpse of this wonderful Western wine trolley wedding on Style Me Pretty. This week we will be featuring all of the design details from this multi-location event! San Luis Obispo held a special place in the heart of this couple, they wanted a rustic wine trolley wedding on the coast of central California, and their save the date invitations set the tone for the festive day to come. We started by designing the front of the invitation to look like a country western music poster pronouncing the big bash!

The back of the invitation provided a fun map of the details to come with twists and turns and an eclectic mix of typography. No detail was left unturned, even the envelope had a large horse shoe with the love birds perched upon it.

Tune in the rest of the week for details of the wedding invitations, the latin style rehearsal dinner, photos of the ceremony, lunch stop and the reception!

Day of the Dead Invitations

Filed Under Lollipop Invitations | 12 Comments

This utterly unique couple wanted to showcase their personalities and individualism through their invitations. They gave us complete creative freedom! We created a skull design out of icons that represented both of them individually, and together. The Groom loves: His Italian heritage, being a musician in his band, music, mustaches, pizza, beer, and his bride-to-be! The Bride loves: Her Mexican heritage, being a hair stylist, margaritas, tacos, maracas, Mickey Mouse and her groom-to-be! Their actual tattoos were incorporated in the design and their initials took the place of the teeth underneath the handlebar mustache.

We hand sewed buttons for eyes and laced blue and red string around the invite and around the eyes for the closure. Who says you have to tone down your true colors for your special day? Staying true to who you are and letting your personalities shine through is very cool, chic and oh so Rock n’ Roll!
