Watercolor Wedding Suite


The delicate beauty and classic touches of Alex's wedding were mirrored in the lovely wedding paper suite I created for her. From the choices in paper stock, to her custom envelope liners, all the way to her watercolor map, each detail I created and selected was reflective of her stunning taste. Together, we were able to paint the perfect picture of her wedding day as each guest received their invitation in the mail. Alex wanted each piece that was created to be similar, yet a little different. I was able to accomplish that for her by adding in watercolor strokes here and there, using the same color palette but increasing the hue saturations to mix it up a bit, and by creating more playful, bolder pieces for the reception card. Of course, choosing the right combination of typefaces is always key and helps to set the tone and feel of a design. Thank you Alex, for your warm heart and kind character. You were a joy to create with. Congratulations Alex and Connor; the best is yet to come!

Magnolia Rouge Feature


Simple. Elegant. Handmade.
I worked with watercolor to make the details of this wedding suite come to life.   I started with an overall wash for the background, painting in some greenery, then adding some floral touches towards the end. This suite is both whimsical and sophisticated, which I enjoy. From the invitation to the menus, each piece has it's own "personality" tying them all together. I ripped the edges to soften it up allowing for a more handmade look, as well as adding in some of my handwriting to each piece rather than a typeface.  
   One of the best parts of this project was the local collaboration that went into making it perfect.

Country Club Wedding


From the moment these invites arrived in mailboxes, wedding guests knew they were in for a treat! Ben and Kristen had a vision for their wedding that was classy, elegant and timeless. Being asked to design their wedding suite was smiles and excitement from the first meeting to the final delivery of thank you notes.

Kristen and her mother Dwana were quite the duo to work with (in the best way)! Our first meeting was full of laughs, anticipation, and brainstorming as we discussed the many options that could be created solely for this event. Rich metallic golds contrasted with deep navy blues would guide the way in our color palette for this exquisite evening to remember. From the beginning I needed to visually communicate what was to come for Ben and Kristen's guests through each piece that was designed, and every added detail.

Seeing a client’s vision come to life is my favorite part of being a graphic designer. It doesn’t matter if the project is a wedding suite, brand identity or marketing collateral. I create unique work that reflects each client in a memorable way.

Kristen was having a country club wedding and wanted her guests to have a luxurious experience right from the start. Textured cream paper stock, typography and hand designed flourishes were the perfect way to set the tone for this elegant event. One of my favorite details were the antique gold patterned envelope liners. Their metallic shine and classy detail elevated the feel of the entire project. A timeless wedding suite for a timeless couple. Congrats Kristen and Ben!

October Wedding


I have to say I when I designed our wedding suite and paper goods (which I had never done) something came alive in me. I really had fun putting together each piece, making it personal and creating what would be the first glimpse of our wedding day to our guests as they received their invitations in the mail.

Spring Waco Wedding


CLASSIC, TIMELESS, TOUCHES OF COLOR
How stunning is this bride and how gorgeous was her wedding?! What an honor to design and collaborate with my old classmate & roommate for her special day. This lady knows what she wants and knows how to get it done. Listening to her describe her dream wedding and all the ideas she had was a creative dream for me. From creating her personal monogram, to picking out paper stocks together, I had so much fun partnering with Mrs. Malorie Holladay! Congratulations Wes and Malorie.

I am so happy for you! Call me in a couple years when it's time to do the baby shower! xoxo
