baci designs | Natalie + PJ's Wedding Stationery {Akron, Ohio}

I love having the opportunity to work on family weddings so I was thrilled when Natalie, Ilario's cousin, approached me to design the stationery for her big day!!

We started with a simple, but cute save the date magnet - the two got married at The Portage Country Club overlooking the golf course, so their photo choice was perfectly appropriate :o)  Their custom monogram, black and green color combo and polka dots were continued throughout the rest of the stationery as well.

Taking the basic pocket to another level, we attached the invitation to the front and stuffed the back pocket with all the necessary information - Directions and Accommodations Card, Reception Card and Reply Postcard.  Adding a bit of flair, the circle hole punch allowed for the couple's custom monogram to peak through.  One of my favorite parts of the invitation suite was the polka dot return address - it just was too adorable for words!

We continued the black and green polka dots onto day-of stationery, creating fan programs for the outdoor ceremony (and boy were they necessary that day - the temperatures soared!), wine bottles that doubled as both an escort card and a favor for guests to take home and place cards for the dinner tables.  Finishing off the stationery, we created coordinating thank you notes adorned with the couple's monogram.

Wedding Wednesday | Styled Beach Shoot Stationery {Knoxville, Tennessee}

How amazing things slip through without being featured on the blog, I'll never know - I do know that going forward it won't continue to happen because I have a blog schedule that goes out over a month in advance!  Nothing's getting past this lady any more :o)

I previously mentioned that the stationery we designed for a beautiful Styled Beach Shoot by Shannon Kelley Photography and In Flight was featured on Love Like Oceans, but I never shared my favorite images from the shoot.  Enjoy and come back tomorrow to see another shoot we were part of recently!!

Wedding Wednesday | Katie + Kevin's Wedding Stationery {Kent, Ohio}

Monday marked one year of wedded bliss for my beautiful college roommate, Katie, and her hubby, Kevin, so it's high time I show off her wedding stationery!!  Inspired by her peacock theme, we designed a fun photo strip inspired save the date bookmark (Katie is an English teacher, so we thought it was fitting!!).  We continued the shades of blues and greens onto the modern cream felt wave invitation suite, complete with coordinating reply postcard and reception card.  We carried the design through to the ceremony programs, table numbers, thank you cards and bookmark escort cards that doubled as favors!  The suite was the perfect reflection of Katie and Kevin's modern and fun wedding day!

Wedding Wednesday | Jaaci + Matt's Custom Wedding Invitation Suite {Defiance, Ohio}

I'm so happy to be sharing today's seriously fun invitation suite with you all!!  Jaaci and Matt's custom designed suite turned out even more beautiful than I could have imagined - polka dots are the best :o)

The cymbidium orchid green, white and black custom designed suite was created using a full bleed offset print on an amazingly thick piece of stock.  The adorable polka dots were continued from the suite onto the favor tags, too!

We're incredibly excited because the lovely Jaaci and Matt will be adding a little lady to the baci's babies clan - we couldn't be happier for the two of them :o)

Wedding Wednesday | Katie + John's Custom Wedding Invitation Suite {Defiance, Ohio}

As you may have noticed, we're making a lot of changes around here (don't you just love it!!!) and in the midst of the clean-up we realized we missed sharing a lot of incredible custom stationery with you all :o(  How so many gorgeous things fell through the cracks we'll never know.  We apologize and are trying to make it up to you all by showing off all the pretty suites with you all now - better late than never, right?

Today we're flaunting Katie and John's (remember their beautiful wedding and adorable baby girl, Mya?) fun monogram wedding suite with you!  We took their KB and JH initials to create the unique monogram block that was continued throughout the suite then used a modern font and layout to accentuate their gorgeous yellow and green color scheme.

I'll never fall out of love with wrap-around labels - they're my favorite and are the perfect compliment to metallic envelopes :o)

baci Featured on Love Like Oceans | Styled Beach Shoot Stationery {Knoxville, Tennessee}

Last Fall I was blessed with the opportunity to design and craft stationery for a Styled Beach Shoot the incredibly talented Shannon of Shannon Kelley Photography and the super creative Mayra of In Flight Ideas were collaborating on!

This was so amazing for me for several reasons - first, this was the first styled shoot I was participating in (Yay!) and second, I essentially had complete creative freedom (not something that happens too often in the custom stationery world).  Of course I jumped at the chance and designed some incredibly unique and detailed designs that included not only a complete invitation suite, but a table number, place cards and a menu-napkin ring combination.  To check out the entire post head on over to the awesome Love Like Oceans Blog!
