Sofia Sayer, , , , , , Leave a comment

Here is the first of a series I plan to expand on:  Accessory designs from Etsy sellers.  I think there are many fantastic shops on Etsy where brides can find wonderful things for their weddings (including my shop!)

For this first of this series, I am focusing on accessories with birds.

Theater themed wedding, Fort Collins Colorado

I designed the stationary wedding decor for my good friend Kate O’Donnell Diaz, who is also a wonderful wedding planner for Green Apple Weddings http://www.greenappleweddings.com/.  Kate and Brian met in the theater in Manhattan, and wanted to incorporate this theme into their wedding.  I was so happy to work with a couple that was so open to creativity!  They knew their theme, and they knew their color choices (red, orange, bright pink) and were a pleasure to work with.  You can see what I designed for them in the photography blog of Jennifer Schumacher:  http://www.jenniferschumacherphotography.com/blog/2011/07/colorado-theater-wedding-in-fort-collins/

Here is a snapshot of the escort cards I designed for Kate and Brian.  Go to Jennifer’s blog to see more!
