We first met Jenny and Mike at Erin and Marshall's September 2008 wedding. Mike and Marshall knew each other growing up, so Marshall chose Mike as a groomsmen.
When Ilario and I arrived in Michigan the day of the wedding all of the groomsmen were hanging out in the room we were sharing with our friends. So instead of me prepping around a bunch of men, Mike offered his room to me since his girlfriend (Jenny!) was getting ready in there, too. Jenny and I were friends at first sight - she's the sweetest southern Louisiana girl in the world, it's impossible not to love her!
Since Mike was part of the wedding and none of us knew very many guests, she, Ilario and I partied it up during the post-ceremony activities while Mike did his bridal party thing. Even then Jenny just knew she wanted me to do her wedding stationery - just as soon as Mike asked that is!
Well a few months passed and Jenny contacted me to design her personal stationery - which turned out beautifully - so we were able to stay in close touch. Then in December of last year Jenny sent me an e-mail entitled "Good News" and I knew exactly what that meant!! They were engaged on Thanksgiving and had officially set a wedding date! The girl was ready to plan and plan we did ;)
I couldn't have asked for more spectacular clients or friends - Jenny and Mike are such kind-hearted and driven people. Anyone would be blessed to know them! They've even dove into the wedding business themselves. Right before their July wedding they fell in love with the idea of photobooths, so they decided to start their own photobooth company!! Their wedding was their first go-round. In August, Loco Photo Booths was officially born and I was lucky enough to work on their logo and business cards, too.
I wish Jenny and Mike nothing but the best in life and their new business venture!!
Jenny and Mike's lime, black and white color theme, as well as their custom-designed "jenny & mike" monogram, was continued throughout all of their wedding stationery - even Jenny's Bridal Shower invitations.
The rehearsal dinner invitations were taken to the next level with a return address embossmente. To differentiate the invitations from that of the wedding, we choose a Stardream Onyx envelope - hot, hot, hot!
We kept the rehearsal dinner invitation suite simple - your eye is drawn perfectly to the couple's names and their wedding date.
The wedding invitation suite was just to die for! The lime green metallic envelopes were complimented with the uniquely designed wrap-around labels (my absolute favorite thing to make!!).
Jenny had so many fabulous ideas, like incorporating a gorgeous photo of their two smiling faces on their invite. When folded to a 5" x 7" their monogram was the only writing that showed above their picture on the invitation - it was perfect!
Baci also designed Jenny and Mike's ceremony program. I just love the simplicity of the front page - just the name of the church, their monogram and the wedding date!
These were by far the most fun things I've ever had a bride request! We put Jenny and Mike's custom monogram on 12 oz. plastic cups and stemmed wine glasses - they turned out fabulous, I just love it!!!
