Behind the Scenes: Custom Invites

We do lots of paper product work for our clients, but these invitations for Megan and Tyler were a little more crafty than graphic design-y. We loved coming up with a plan, choosing paper samples, and presenting her with her final product! Enjoy a behind the scenes look at her invites being put together!

Party Element: Personalized Drinkware

For a favor, or as an escort card, glasses for guests are at an all time high. We are swooning over the personalized choices of these couples! Not only does this party element give the option of serving multiple roles, but it makes guests feel so welcomed and treasured. 

Coffee sleeves for a cozy exit, or a warm welcome.

Refreshing mug that doubles as a fun favor! 

These guests got to choose an antique glass to use for the night. Each glass was unique and made the tablescape extra special!

Glasses with a spot for personalization is a great interactive way to keep guests having fun!

I love these adorable koozies for an outdoor wedding!

Now I need some sweet tea y'all!! 

Behind the Scenes Wedding: Madison and Alex

Madison and Alex were one of those weddings that I drove away with a huge grin on my face at the end of the night. They were so dear to each other and so loved by their family and friends. The whole day was a true celebration of all the best things. 

Here are a few behind the scenes looks of the day from my point of view! 

Timeline for the day. 

I usually try to save the timeline as a photo to the lock screen on my phone so I have it readily available. Carrying a clipboard around can only last for so long. 

The bouquets arrive at Tuscan Hill where the wedding party was getting ready! 

They smelled (and looked, obviously) AMAZING! 

Baby's breath and moss letters I made for the gate at the reception and the front doors to the church.

The door hooks that they are attached to here were actually too small for the large chapel doors and snapped as soon as the doors shut. The improvising that followed was a little chaotic to say the least :)  

Guestbook and programs. The ceremony took place at the Drury Stone Chapel here in Springfield. 

Madison's gorgeous bouquet (and my dorky watch that never matches). 

During the ceremony Jack and the rolls royce convertible arrive from Fisk Limo!

The sweet vows were said by a teary and sentimental bride and groom. They were absolutely precious. 

About to head off to the reception! 

Her new bling :)           Florals lining the path between cocktail hour and the reception tent. 

Tuscan Hill tent complete with silver chiavari chairs, etched glassware, towering centerpieces, and clean, elegant place settings. 

Menu at each place setting describing the wonderful meal provided by Simply Delicious Catering. Always so yummy. 

Monogrammed cake sat in the center of the dance floor until it was cut. 

I love a dramatic cake placement! 

The sweet couple right after they said "I do"
Praying many blessings over you two! Congrats on a beautiful day and beautiful beginning!
