Simplicity At Its Best : Wedding Invitations

Client is sssssssssssoooooooo happy with her invitations and that's what matters =D

Remember those proposed wedding invitations with summery colors I made last month? Well, forget about those hehehehehehe. Change of mind for short!

Client's dilemma is that she wants few of my proposals but then we had to compromise. We had to consider their age and inputs of her hubby-to-be.

No frills .... no swirls .... just plain and simple =D

Just a simple love stamp which I embossed then added a rose which is the in-thing right now. Made few Finnish version and lots of Swedish version as far as the wedding details are concerned. The inserts are 2 pages but the main insert where the announcement is stated is printed on a light tan glistening cardstock and the second page is in off-white cardstock. Cardstocks used for the envie/case and inserts are semi-glistened cardstock by Reprint.

Cards were delivered yesterday morning through the kindness of DH since I can't go anywhere co my son has chicken pox.

March 19, 2010

Client : Swedish couple in their mid 50's
Event : Summer Wedding (Garden)
Request : Happy Colors

These are the only info I can give you guys coz that's just what I got!

Considering their ages, I have to be careful in designing the invitatoons for them. Altough they are both jolly people and full of humor, I still have to bear in mind that they are not young to enjoy those sweety or cutie stamps that I have. I also have to have a touch of elegance.

These are the first batch of invitations that I'm making for them. I can only make the concept for now coz they are still thinking on what exactly to write inside the card.

Since both of them are busy moving to a new apartment, our meeting was re-set. I will be seeing the bride-to-be next week and have a sit-down chat with her. I hope by that time they already have decided what to write and what exactly they want for their invitations.

Here's the first proposed wedding invitation I have made :

Materials:
Vi Gifter Oss Rubber Stamp by Slöjd-Detaljer
Couple Silhouette Rubber Stamp by Slöjd-Detaljer
Wedding Background Rubber Stamp by Slöjd-Detaljer
Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads ( faded jeans, vintage photo, spiced marmalade, tattered rose, peeled paint)
Cardstocks from Creative Company
Nellie Punch and Emboss
My handmade papers
Prima mini flowers
Pearlmaker (gold)
