Custom Monogram Design - Tawny & Jeremy - A Smoky Mountain Wedding

Wanted to share this custom monogram design that I recently created for Tawny and her fiance, Jeremy. Tawny has impeccable taste and was looking for a monogram to be designed to coordinate with the invitation design that she previously had designed with another invitation company and I must admit I was delighted when I saw the photo of the invitations and the gorgeous lace and vintage rose motif that she desired to carry throughout the stationery items for her special day. The invitations are gorgeous and even more amazing, printed on wood! Yes, a stunningly feminine motif of delicate lace and vintage roses printed on a wooden veneer invitation insert. LOVE these and as a matter of fact, Delovely Designs will be offering these unique invitations soon as well! (I will be sharing more details on that soon.)


Even though the design below wasn't Tawny's final selection for her custom monogram, I just loved it so much that I couldn't resist sharing it here. Loving the color palette of rich merlot and cocoa tones and the lovely heirloom feel of this design!

Kathryn and Adam's Wedding Invitation & Monogram Design

L-O-V-E these designs that I recently created for my wonderful friend, Kathryn, for her and her fiance, Adam's wedding this upcoming September. I think it must be said that Kathryn has an absolutely fantastic sense of style and I absolutely adored the vision she had for her wedding invitation design. This made it beyond easy and tons of fun when it came to the design phase because she wanted something that I totally loved and I could totally relate to the design concept that she had envisioned in her mind. I'm not even sure exactly how to categorize this fun and flirty design....I guess I would personally describe it as being borderline vintage charm meets girly-girl sass meets shabby-chic of the new age. Both quirky yet elegant, charming yet fun, classic yet with a contemporary edge and definitely so, so very sweet and whimsical all at the same time. I just love the way the designs turned out and cannot wait to hear what all of her guests had to say about the invitation. Even more, I cannot wait to see and hear all about Kathryn's special day as I know that it is going to be truly unique and amazing!

Real Weddings - Mandy and Michael

Earlier this year, I was oh-so lucky to have had the pleasure of working with Mandy on some custom monogram designs for her and her fiance, Michael. Well, this special couple's gorgeous wedding just took place early this past September and Mandy was so very kind and thoughtful to have recently sent me some wonderful photos from her and Michael's special day. Of course, I just couldn't resist sharing the lovely photos courtesy of the fabulous Lynn Michelle Photography with all of my devoted readers. Below are just a few snippets from the events of the day, from the ceremony to the reception and a bit of everything in between. Mandy also included some lovely shots of the custom monogram designs that I created for her in action as well. Enjoy and be sure to check out Lynn Michelle's site for more incredible eye candy!

Wedding Monogram Designs - Jamie and Michael

These are some custom monograms that I recently created for Jamie and Michael for their upcoming wedding this fall. We did three different designs all slightly similar, yet different, and they will be using them for different elements throughout their wedding. To coordinate with this couple's wedding color palette we used subtle platinum tones with accents of a darker charcoal and then accents of a vivid purple and apple green on one of the designs that will be used to adorn their out of town amenity bags. Jamie also really wanted to include a special Hebrew saying from her invitation design, so we also included that in two of the designs as well. I truly love these designs and think that the final results are very elegant and provide an extremely unique and sophisticated look.

New Monogram & Label Design - Rachel & William

This project had to be one of my absolute favorites so far as I just completely adore this monogram that I designed for Rachel and William for their upcoming spring 2009 wedding. This couple's theme for their special day is "Meant to bee" and they are including precious little honeybee's as their signature motif. Rachel and William are doing all of the wedding decor in sharp black and white tones with splashes of a vibrant sunny yellow tone for a fabulous pop of color thoughout their wedding. I designed a monogram for them as well as printed favor labels / stickers and water bottle labels for their special day. I just know that their favors are going to be so cute as they are giving out specialty honey in petite vintage glass jars and will be using the labels on the front of each jar for a personalized touch. Below are the final results of the monogram that I used for their labels as well as the final water bottle label design. Rachel and William LOVED them so much and I do too!

Bundle of Joy - Baby Monograms

Having a bit of baby fever myself as of recent, I rather enjoy anything baby-related these days, so I just couldn't resist sharing these lovely baby monograms that I recently created for a glowing new mommy of two. Twins it was for Sabrina and she was twice blessed with a boy and a girl! I have changed the last name to a pseudo last name to protect the innocent. Congratulations, Sabrina, and welcome to the world little ones!
