One of the many things I treasure about being part of many couples' special day is creating not just beauty, but beautiful relationships. Kristi approached me about her wedding paper about 9 months prior to her wedding, with a gorgeous vision of light, neutral shades and tons of thoughtful and romantic ideas. Together we planned and worked on the direction of the invitations, and before long, we were planning the day-of details. We brainstormed, debated, compromised, decided on a lot of various details (haha!) and it's always bittersweet when the wedding day rolls by and I'm left with are amazing photos of all the hard work and love we've put in every single detail.

For the invites, we played with various shades of gray. A clean, olive branch monogram wrapped around their soon-to-be last name. Tall elegant calligraphy, white on gray. For the wedding day, we added some handmade elements with gold to match with the neutral shades. For the tablescape we had gray menus adorned with handmade paper place cards with gold ink calligraphy. Wedding favors were decorated with round monogram tags. Her seating chart was tall and elegant with gray calligraphy on white paper.

This gorgeous wedding was featured on Style Me Pretty here. Kristi went on to become a wedding planner after, which I thought was so cool!
