When planning your dream wedding, no detail is too small or insignificant. Incorporating the bride’s own personal love story into the ceremony, décor and reception can be challenging. Amber Housley explains her solution.
When I first meet with clients, I take the time to get to know their personal style and favorite brands. I have a casual questionnaire I use to help bring out their love story, including special places, meaningful objects or symbols that I can incorporate into the overall wedding invitation suite design. No two weddings are alike in my book, and I strive to make each wedding extremely personal and customize recommendations to each client and their personality.
Amber also has some more specific suggestions. Postcards are all the rage in the marketing world, so why not turn your Save the Dates into fun, functional pieces of art?
Save the Date photo postcards are a great way to showcase one of your favorite engagement photos (or combine many photos for a fun collage) which will result in one less envelope you’ll need to mail!
Postcard “Save the Dates” pack a BIG punch without breaking the bank! Amber also has an array of original ideas that incorporate personal symbols or special memories into the ceremony or reception. No detail is too small or quirky!
One bride was a huge Denver Broncos fan, so I hand glittered small horse statues that mingled in well with the rest of the gold and bright citrus accented flowers on the head table for their reception.
Another client placed a high emphasis on their wedding cake since she was a big dessert and sweets fan. I created a reception “program” that included a diagram of the wedding cake and detailed out each and every cake layer (FunFetti being their personal favorite!).
With a recent June wedding, the fiancée worked in the golf industry and we created an escort card table made of individual golf balls and tees complete with grass and a banner that read: “Time to Tee Off!” I love finding creative ways to incorporate the various design details.
So, whether it’s selecting the appropriate style of invitation or font for your Save the Dates or any other paper good you could possibly imagine, Amber Housley has the creativity to help each couple create a dream wedding with every last detail truly being original, stunning and most importantly…. from the heart.
