yuko - menu

with a limited budget for yuko and greg's reception menu, i did this simple yet cute menu for them. it was printed in color on a flat 4 x 7 heavy cardstock.  

i love the two birdies standing on top of the e and the n, very cute and lovey-dovey, just like yuko and greg :)

so glad to finally be done with my own wedding, it was so much harder than planning weddings for other brides! i never knew it would be as time consuming as it was... 

 before i have all the details organized, here is this a fun family portrait :) 

i had a lot of fun creating this family cake toppers, they came out so well! i couldnt decide which one i enjoyed more of making, henry or kammie, because i love henry's hair (both hair and facial hair) and kammie's tutu.

(i had no idea who decided to put a flower between henry and myself... it totally took the focus away from kammie's tutu)

chirp!

i am really excited to post something unique today! i can only post the back view of these lovely friends because they havent not been seen by the public, they will not be debuted for couple more weeks in napa valley!

one may ask "why are these two being introduced on paperiesheep?"

believe it or not, THEY ARE MADE WITH PAPER :)

had a lot of fun working on this layer invitation with chandelier, the colors were sweet and romantic, just like the bride!

i love paper with texture, LOVE LOVE LOVE! it was quite a challenge to trim them to size and have the chandeliers on all pages to line up perfectly. 

 

the pages are as pretty on its own as layered.

J & J

purple and green is a lovely and popular color combination for weddings, to make it stand out from the rest of the wedding, i picked a handmade paper for this invitaiton. i love the irregular pattern of the purple handmade paper.

to bring out the richness of the purple, i chose a vibrant kiwi green, it add a little bit more pop to the invitation.

 

the inserts had some green pattern decorating the top so it would peek through the sleeves.

 

i love an understated pattern, it adds a bit of color yet doesn't crowd the page.

have you seen a layering invitation? it's almost like a deconstructed invitation! it was a lot of fun to make them!

Karen asked me to create something unique, modern and romantic, in a layered design.

the venue she has is gorgeous, it has these two beautiful chandeliers, so i thought why not have a chandelier design as the focal point?

to bring the romance into the picture, i chose peach color in different shades, it match the venue perfectly!

this was only a sample for the bride, i will show you the real invitation soon!

Jennifer wanted a wedding with everything in squares, including her ring (sort of), cake, centerpieces, votives candles, and of course, invitations. she wanted something simple, modern and elegant, and most importantly, timeless.

groom's little sister designed the monogram for them, she was only 14! how sweet is that? a little tab was created to incorporate the monogram as part of the invitation, rather than an addition to it.

to keep the square theme thru out the invitation, a skinny brown ribbon with black square pattern was added to bring out the color of the paper. 

instead of having her announcement glued to the evenlope itself, a half moon shaped cut was made on both top and bottom to secure the card in place.

rsvp was in a lighter mango color that complimented the warm orange of the invitation.
