Save-the-Dates *Thinking (within) the box!*
January 2, 2008

How sweet are these? I had such a blast helping to design these beautiful save-the-dates for Sarah and Mike! I absolutely love doing something unexpected when it comes to save-the-dates. Since they are not formal invitations, you can have so much fun being creative here. It is your first opportunity to make your wedding date known- so why not have fun with it!? I always like to encourage couples to think outside the envelope and surprise their guests. :)
When I first met Sarah and Mike (over the perfect latte at Intelligentsia) our ideas starting flowing for their "country elegance" styled wedding at a Eucalyptus Lane. Among the many motif possibilities that the space evoked, the eucalyptus plant seemed like a pretty perfect idea. Mike is a design whiz and came up with a beautiful eucalyptus tree motif which were printed using a Gocco printer in a cool, silvery blue ink. The fonts he chose were a blend of bold and modern, yet still romantic and sweet. We attached a single stem of fresh eucalyptus with a natural twine and the silvery leaves of the fresh eucalyptus mimicked the silverly blue ink gorgeously. (And the fresh eucalyptus has a wonderfully mild, fresh smell!) Keeping with the organic feeling of their wedding, we chose kraft paper components and a natural wood shred as a bed for the save-the-date. I absolutely love the way everything looks when you first open the box and find the kraft paper sealed with a delicate top of a eucalyptus sprig!
Sarah and Mike- I am looking forward to invitation time when we create new fabulous ideas!
