Real Couples’ Wedding: Jacqueline Schmidt and David Friedlander

“Too often weddings are generic or become focused solely on the couple……But we are creative people, and our friends and family are the most important thing to both of us. We saw a real opportunity to do things differently, to express ourselves in the program and celebrate the talents of our community members.” -Jacqueline Schmidt

Jacqueline is an artist and David is the founder of Lucid Events in NYC. A unique and creative couple, it is only appropriate for the two to have an open invitation to their wedding with an event series included!  Sounds like a wonderful time! They are having an accupuncturist speak, a teepee tent for guests to renew their vows, and a stationery area where guests can write love letters.

Here is a picture of Jacqueline’s art, and the couple together:

Feather Hair Pieces: From Etsy Shops

I love these pretty feather hair pieces.  Each one is different in style and size.  Sellers on Etsy really do offer a nice variety of feather designs, making it easy for a bride to find one that matches her style.  Here are some of my favorites:

Turquoise and Orange Color Combination

The combination and turquoise and orange may be a bit more popular than using something like all nude colors… but I think this combination looks different every time you use it!  Turquoise and orange is fitting for many different locations and seasons.  Fall, summer, destination on a beach, or in an indoor setting…  I hope these pictures inspire you!

DIY Wedding Invitation Fonts

I love finding new fonts to use in my designs, but I tend to use the same fonts over and over.  This is because they are great fonts!  Here is a look at some of my go-to fonts.  These fonts are great to try out if you are attempting to create your own wedding invitations.  If you do not have them in your computer, look them up at myfonts.com

New Font: Belle Script

Belle Script is a new font designed by Melinda Jeffs.  It reminds me of the writing I would make next to my loop-ey looking doodles in my childhood!  I love how playful this font is.  I believe this font could be used in modern wedding invitations and wedding stationery.  Check it out and purchase it on the my fonts website.
