Oversized Wedding Seating Charts

Keeping up with the trends is all a part of the wedding business. I'm constantly inspired by my brides - they are always coming up with new ideas and inquiring about "Can you design...". Anything is possible! Recently, I've had a few brides approach me about oversized seating charts in lieu of escort cards. This concept is very green and forces guests to interact and break the ice while waiting on their bride and groom to arrive at the reception. Seating charts can be designed in any format, size and color scheme.

Leigh wanted a guest list representative of her wedding invitations by emma j design. We incorporated her wedding monogram and created a master list of guests' names in alphabetically order. She placed the mounted seating chart in a beautiful frame and allowed her guests to find their names and table assignment.



While working with First City Events, Bonnie approached me on behalf of bride, Jessica. Her room layout was remnant of downtown Savannah and the squares. We designed a room layout/guest list table assignment combo so guests would know where to find their table. Jessica wanted the seating chart to represent the Savannah squares so we added touches like the oak trees and square dividers.

Vintage Monogram Stationery for Summer

I attended a monogram shower for my friend, Summer. She is so excited to be getting married and part of that is celebrating her new name! Brooke and I joined forces and created a unique basket of monogrammed items including double-sided flat baby blue stationery with her new initials on one side and her new name on the other. Also included were calling cards for gift giving with the couple's combined monogram. To top it off, we did monogrammed cocktail napkins to use for entertaining.
I just love how her vintage monogrammed turned out on the blue rugby stripes.
Stunning!


Branches and Birds Wedding Invitations { Letterpress } { Savannah, GA }

I've had the pleasure of working with Danielle and Ryan out of Washington, DC through La Paperie on Whitaker Street. Danielle and Ryan wanted a wedding invitation with a vintage garden theme using two love birds. We printed their custom design on Crane 100% Cotton paper with 2-color letterpress (marigold yellow and light taupe). We completed the look with gold calligraphy by Bride Whelan.






Dogwood Blossom Wedding Invitations { Savannah, GA }

I've had the pleasure of working with M. Livingston Events and Stevie on her gorgeous wedding invitations! Stevie wanting something that represented a southern-Savannah soiree so we used her color palette of coral and gold to design a custom invitation wardrobe complete with the invitation, gold envelopes with custom liners, reply card and envelope. She also opted to order coordinating die-cut stationery with their wedding monogram on one side for wedding thank you notes - so beautiful! We printed the invitations on a shimmer paper so they just sparkle in person! We completed the invitation with white calligraphy from Bride Whelan.

Kelley and Kevin's Invitation Inspiration Board


One of my best friends from childhood got engaged over the weekend and we've already begun the preparations for her wedding! She hopes to secure a location for an August wedding and has her eyes set on a vintage barn setting that has been renovated for weddings in Rome, Georgia. The alter is complete with old church pews for guests. So beautiful! She's a really stylish gal and loves the idea of using a fuchsia and turquoise color scheme - which I love! Since her fiance is an avid outdoorsman, she still wants to incorporate rustic details for his style as well. Think bright purple/fuchsia bridesmaids dresses with chunky turquoise necklaces! Here's a quick inspiration board we came up with incorporating all of the colors, details and energy of the event. I can't wait to work on her paper products using the spode-rose border from Corrie's quail invitations, vintage monogram and bright jewel tones! Stay tuned for more details to come!
