Kelsie + Austin | Blush Coveleigh Club Wedding
Sometimes there are weddings that just put a smile on your face. The blush + blue Coveleigh Club wedding of Kelsie + Austin was full of charming, elegant details, and everything felt effortless. Kelsie had a great vision for her wedding. With the help of the fabulous Amy Champagne Events I was gifted a bride who trusted me to bring that vision to life.
Most of my couples have great style. Their wedding is a way to share that with their loved ones, but they are smart enough to know that translating good style into wedding stationery is nuanced. I love the partnerships that are created with my clients but giving me a well thought-out design, but letting me do the translating onto paper.
Handmade Paper Save the Dates
I began working with them on their save the dates (I always prefer to collaborate with couples on all their wedding stationery, so we can tell their story from start to finish!). Truly, though, the first stage was the custom crest. They didn’t want my usual watercolor look, but instead something a bit more formal + clean. I enjoyed the creative challenge of designing something a bit outside of my creative comfort zone!
But I rarely like to unveil a couple’s monogram or crest with their save the dates. I always say custom save the dates are a peek behind the curtain of your wedding paper look. So to keep things simple but interesting, I focused on texture. The save the dates were printed on blush handmade paper, which gave their guests a tactile experience.
TIP: Handmade paper can be expensive, but if you do it for the save the date you need only invest in one card vs. an entire suite.
Custom Blush Wedding Invitations
When it was time to design the wedding invitation suite, I got a huge boost of creative inspiration! I wanted to continue that theme of texture, but amplify it. The invitation suite cards had deckled edges, then the entire thing was wrapped with an asymmetrical fold in soft blue vellum with white ink. The final piece is then tied together with hand-dyed velvet ribbon. I infused color with colored paper for the details cards, and blush envelopes. No detail was overlooked when creating this suite!
Wedding Reception + Decor
Kelsie + Austin’s wedding day was set to reflect their lovely color palette, and infuse texture. My favorite detail was the amazing table linens, which mirrored the look of the greenery branches from their custom wedding crest. Working with your wedding planner is a big part of what sets me apart from a regular stationer or ordering website. With my full-service business, the planner and I discuss a lot behind the scenes. We want to ensure their design choices for the decor (linens, floral centerpieces, etc.) work seamlessly with the paper goods (menus, table numbers, etc.). Making something look effortless take a lot of effort! 🙂
Simple Escort Cards + Wax Seal Menus
Because there were lots of textural linens, I wanted the paper goods to carry that clean feel. Most of the paper elements were focused on text, but we did add a splash of fun with the die-cut wave circle menus featuring a wax seal at the top. I love when a wax seal has a permanent home on paper, and doesn’t get damaged like when opening an envelope flap!
The Coveleigh Club was the perfect venue for their blush + blue wedding. Its white-painted wood beams and beautiful coastal views were a beautiful backdrop for their classic, clean wedding celebration.
Kelsie + Austin, thank you for being the most wonderful clients and giving me a wedding that allowed such deep creative inspiration. Your wedding paper story is one of my favorites of all time!
