Abby and her hubby, Paul, reached out to me originally to create invitations for the event - Abby said, "Do whatever you like, I trust you," and those are maybe the most exciting words a custom stationery designer can hear :o) So I ran with the feminine and trendy energy Abby herself exudes and designed beautiful Vintage-esque Lavender and Grey Chevron Invitations - they are one of my new favorites (I think I say that each time I design something new - lol!)! Finished off with a Grey Envelope and Gregory Peck stamps (you'll be seeing those on Jami + Eric's Wedding Stationery, too - I adore them!) - the invitations were the perfect sneak peek into the event.
A few weeks before the party, Paul also asked me to create a cupcake topper and some floral centerpieces for the table - I was thrilled to be able to create more gorgeousness to compliment my original design! I was a bit nervous though. I've done a lot of floral work for myself here at home, as well as for baci events like Bridal Shows and such, but this would be my first official floral job for a client. Everyone loved the centerpieces I created - it was just the confidence boost I needed to add Floral Design to the list of baci's services!!
Forgive the photo quality - the restaurant was very, very dark and unfortunately this was the best I could do. Everything looks pink in the photos, but I promise it was all purple to match the stationery, lol! I used a combination of wax, football mums, dark purple South American carnations and limonium in some recently purchased milk glass (which I ADORE!) and a few DIY'd silver glitter vase cubes. It was elegant and sparkly with that same vintage quality from the invitations.
Once again, I apologize for the photos, but I had to at least share the adorable coordinating cupcake topper and "Happy Birthday" banner I created - they were the perfect addition to the yummy cupcake tower :o)
