Chelsea and Evan gave me the honor of designing their save the dates.

When a friend came to me about her sister's wedding, I eagerly accepted the opportunity to design her wedding stationery. Not only has Chelsea been super sweet ever time I have seen her, but she is organized — a thought-through-everything-ahead-of-time-and-organized-it-into-a-Word-document organized. For me, that's like working with another me. I love planning all the details of a plan before I hand it off to anyone.

Aside from the technical details, Chelsea and Evan picked beautiful colors: purple and yellow. Two of my favorite colors are then paired with graceful lace and earthy burlap. Everything about the wedding says Kansas to me. Plus, working with purple is a fav.

I mocked up a few designs from samples she admired. The couple was looking for a save the date with photos and a little calendar, so my design options featured those elements. From there, she was a smooth customer — no changes! Is that even heard of in the graphic design world? Lucky for me, that was a reality. We must have just been on the same brain wave.

The small postcard features photos of the couple on the front from Ron's Studio in Ottawa, Kansas. Then I added in a little calendar with the date circled and their names and general wedding information. The back featured a side panel of purple, lace and burlap, another photo, and the return address.

I'm so excited to be a part of their big day! I'll have more wedding stationery from this joyous occasion on the way, but in the meantime, feel free to view the larger image and more of my wedding stationery in my Wedding Stationery design album.
