Congratulations to newly weds Brett Sanford and Lany Shisler! Brett and Lany married in Fort Collins Colorado this past weekend. The couple are avid hockey fans, and wanted hockey themed invitations. With this theme I decided to incorporate vintage hockey images into the invitation. The requirements they gave me were for their color scheme, to have the invitation be long like a ticket, and to have an rsvp card as a tear-away. Here are the sketches, final product, and a picture of Brett and Lany. Thanks Brett and Lany for being such a fun couple to work with! To order this invitation or have a custom hockey themed invitation made for you, please contact me through ETSY here.
I recently released a new invitation design on Etsy. It is a clean, bright, modern, bold, and colorful floral design: Modern Bloom. I created this design after playing with my watercolors using the same pattern for years. This is a design that I constantly come back to… simple in it’s nature, yet very pretty. See more details in my shop, just click here.
New items in my Etsy shop: Wedding Guestbook Posters! Have your wedding guests sign one of these beautiful posters to commemorate your wedding. The poster size is 11 by 14 inches, recommended to be matted in a 16 by 20 frame… beautiful! Customers can choose any of the designs for my invitations to be made into a custom poster. Contact me for more details, and visit my Etsy page: http://www.sofiainvitations.etsy.com
What do you think of this new invitation? I was playing with my watercolors and got inspired to use a watercolor background as the theme for an invitation suite. I think I am still toying with the fonts, layout, and color. I would love to hear your thoughts!
The gothic era is full of bold patterns and rich colors. Use modern day gothic design elements to set the tone for your wedding. You can go daring with this, or play it a little safe!
