Amanda and Adam were engaged in Italy, and married in Santa Barbara, California. Their colors were red and orange with a neutral cream base. Getting married at the Montecito Country Club, they wanted their paper products to reflect a rustic Santa Barbara style.

I worked with Amanda and Adam on all their wedding day papers, starting with their save the dates. For their save the date, they wanted a magnet that would convey all the necessary information. I went to work designing a magnet that thought a little outside the box. I wanted to make sure Amanda and Adam got a nice luxury save the date, rather than a, pardon my expression, “flimsy” magnet. I wanted something substantial, that people would keep on their fridge, rather than toss once the celebration was over.

Since Amanda and Adam were engaged in Italy, I also did a little bit of a travel theme on the save the date, which echoed the theme on their wedding website as well.

For their invitation, Adam really loved wax seals so, of course, we incorporated that onto the invitation’s belly band with a custom monogram.

Since this was a destination wedding for Amanda and Adam, I decided to incorporate a vintage style postcard for their reply card. The images were shots taken around their venue, the Montecito Country Club. It also played into the slight travel theme we had going on, which was great!

In addition to the invitations and save the dates, I also designed couture menus, programs, seating cards, thank you notes, and custom printed cocktail napkins.

I really liked their menu…

but I LOVED their program!

Amanda and Adam were such a pleasure to work with, and I can’t wait to share their wedding with you! Congratulations Amanda and Adam!!

Inviting red with hints of green, cream and gold make for an elegant garden wedding. Love the idea of mixing fabric patterns to achieve an eclectic look.

Love this rustic chic meets high glamour color palette. I can envision a totally glamorous wedding complete with candle light and chandeliers in an old barn or building on a farmstead.

Earlier this month we ran our color predictions for 2011, and at the end of the week I asked you, the readers, what your color predictions for 2011 were. Kristen commented that her wedding colors were hot pink and orange so here is her color palette. Enjoy Kristen!
