As soon as I met with Sarah I knew we were going to have an amazing time working together. Not only is she a super fun person, her wedding style was right up my alley! Vintage 1920′s, minus the flapper. Sarah said she didn’t want her guests to think they had to show up wearing derby hats, which I loved. In essence, capture the era, minus the fashion. Sarah’s colors were cream, dark eggplant and shades of grey with hints of silver…
Sarah’s invitation goes on the list of my favorites from 2011. With foil stamping, laser cutting, a custom map and vintage photograph from Santa Barbara, it was truly a sight to behold.
The invitation itself was silver foiled, which looked so amazing on the charcoal paper we used. The map was hand drawn by Sarah’s aunt! Stunning with such amazing details!
The image on Sarah’s reply card, was an actual vintage photo taken at one of Santa Barbara’s beautiful beaches.
Custom stamps completed the look of this glamorous invitation suite. In addition to the invitation, I also designed table numbers, menus, thank you notes, and bridesmaid invitations for Sarah.

Hi Cami,
These were custom invitations I created for a client of mine. Feel free to email me if you’re interested in something similar. Heidi@zenadiadesign.com

Oh my! My friend and colleague had something along these lines for her wedding and I’ve been searching for something like it for my upcoming wedding (solid year from now!) and I am totally book marking this page! I am actually going to Santa Barbara in June to look at locations for the following spring time and I couldn’t be more thrilled about the whole trip! Looking at photographers, florists, the whole nine yards! Less of a vacation but being in Santa Barbara, hard not to enjoy yourself a little bit! We’re planning on staying at the Sandman Inn (www.thesandmaninn.com). So affordable and quaint, glad I can save some money somewhere during this whole fiasco!
