Wedding Wednesday | Lisa + Mike's Custom Wedding Stationery {Akron, Ohio }

I'm thrilled to be able to share this beautiful invitation suite with you all today!!  Mike and Lisa are dear friends of ours so I was beyond excited when they asked me to create their wedding stationery :o)  We started off by designing a uniquely beautiful save the date postcard - simple and sweet on cream felt stock, printed in house with burgundy and peach ink. {Images by Caroline Hardoby}



For Mike and Lisa's wedding invitation suite - Lisa fell in love with the handmade seeded paper (how could you not?!?!)!  We continued the same design and color scheme from the save the date to create a beautiful framed suite - I am so in love with the way it all turned out!!  Printed in-house and finished off with brown bag envelopes and wrapped in a burgundy satin ribbon tied with a"plant me" tag - the suite was the perfect sneak peek into their big day :o)





I love it when couples want to continue the look of their stationery into the reception!!  Mike and Lisa not only did escort cards, but table names and favors as well!

The escort cards are quite possibly my favorite things I've ever worked on - printed with the guest's name on the outside and hand sealed with wax (in different colors to denote the guest's meal choice), the card opens up to reveal the table name.  Love, love, love them!!



The tables were named after Mike and Lisa's favorite things - from television shows to sports teams - it was a wonderful way for guests to learn a little bit more about the bride and groom :o)  We took the design one step beyond basic folded cards and added a strip of satin ribbon.

Jamie of Jamie Jansen Photography was kind enough to share some images of the reception stationery with us - from the escort cards and the table names to the favor cards, which had a sweet note letting guests know a donation was being made in their honor to the Children's Tumor Foundation - a charity near and dear to the couple's heart.
