Invitation Draft

So here's versions of the invite in Solid Top Line for the Inserts. I also included a mock-up of the inside to show an example of sort of what it's looking like in my head so far :) I'll also post similar inserts only with a smaller top line...let me know what you think! XOXO

Invite Beginnings...

So Ryan and I have been working on inside the invitation layout in conjunction with my cousin Lara (she's the paper guru!) Wanted to share with you all rough drafts of both the inside main information and the map insert. We're almost done with the inserts for the RSVP post card and accommodations :) YAY!!!!

edit 2/27/2010: Since making adjustments, I actually took the map out of this post and inserted a better one into the posts above :)

Website

Well, it's officially up and running...after many tireless hours, our website www.RMFinley.com is online! WooHoo :) Enjoy pictures in the gallery and get up-to-date info on itinerary, hotels, etc.

Bella helps address Save-the-Dates!

Here are a few pictures from when we addressed Save-the-Dates...of course I had to include the ones of Bella helping out :)

Save the Date Postcards!

So, our save the dates have finally been addressed and mailed...Yay!!! Thought I would throw copies of the proofs here on the blog for all to see both designs :) I'll also add some actual pictures tomorrow.

They were definitely a project, but ultimately, we couldn't have been happier with the way they printed. We decided to print out two different postcards with different front images. But they do all have the same photoshop text design on the back.

Reception Ambiance

Enjoy these images of reception ambiance! We thought they evoked similar feelings to those we're looking to create at our reception:

(love these vintage vases!)

(it's our colors!!!)

(thought these ticket place cards would go great with our playbill menus)

(love the colors, use of fruit, flowers, & wine bottles as table numbers!)

(nice use of fruit!)

(an example playbill style menu)

(different size & shape of vases add to the fun!)

(bright colors!)

(fan idea for ceremony programs...we're using a similar top bar on our stationary)

(like the simplicity, yet dramatic effect. Also, every guest has their own menu)

(more fruit, more fun!)

Mavris

For those who haven't yet seen our venue, we wanted to post a few pictures of other weddings that have taken place there. The ceremony will be inside on the bottom floor like so:

Then, cocktail hour will be on the second floor/outside in the gardens. Here are a few images of those:

For dinner, we'll eat in the main reception room, pictured here:

Finally, here are some other fun photo opts inside and out. Enjoy!!!
