Feathers, Leopard Print, Red Carpet....Oh My!

Hey everyone! Hope you enjoyed your holiday weekend!

We wanted to start this week off with a bit of sophistication and sass.

We thought we'd share a recent wedding invitation suite we created for some friends of ours,
the happy newlyweds, Stephanie and Andrew Rees. Congrats to you two!

They wanted something bold and fun with a little Hollywood drama added to it.
Although they didn't know what that exactly was. The bride was sure that she wanted to walk down a red carpet to fit her star studded occasion and expressed her vision for the bridesmaids.
Black dresses. Leopard print heels carrying white roses.

2 Hearts B 1 Designs then came into sprinkle some magic and
Voila!
Here's how we turned her vision into reality.



We started with a shimmer black pocket enclosure, then added a layer of textured leopard print paper made by Anna Griffin (wish you could feel the softness!), as the leopard spots were flocked.


On top of the leopard print paper, we used a shimmer white card stock with a printed red border,
to keep it clean and sophisticated.

We repeated the leopard print paper in the liner of the rsvp envelope, so that it peeks out "oh so" subtly. We then printed the rsvp card on stardream jupiter card stock to give it that pop of color inside the enclosure. Similar to how Christian Louboutin beautifully gives his signature to those exquisitely designed shoes. Like so.....

The information card shared the same format as the
invite (shimmer white card stock with a red printed border). It tucks nicely behind the rsvp to enhance those cards located in the pocket and coordinate with the invitation fabulously!


To wrap up this fabulous "red carpet" invite, we attached two beautifully soft feathers with a red custom wax seal with their signature monogram.



The feathers give it a very luxurious, dramatic feel, don't you think?

Here's another view of the information card


Stephanie and Andrew were kind enough to let us share some photos from their ceremony and reception as well. Enjoy!


How sweet are the flower girl and ring bearer? What an adorable sign for the ring bearer to carry pronouncing the arrival of the lovely bride-to-be.


Stephanie's dress is absolutely, positively, gorgeous.


You may now kiss the bride!

The happy couple!

 Here are a few more details from the reception.
We love how they took the creation of the invitation and made it work as their vision throughout their entire event! What a fabulous cake!


Thank you so much, Stephanie and Andrew, for letting us be a part of your special day!
It was a joy and an honor to create for you.
