Hailey's Bridal Shower Invite

I've had a lot of fun lately designing invites/announcements for my cousins upcoming wedding. Here is her bridal shower invite. I love the cake and that it incorporates her colors. I also love the overall simplicity of the invite itself. The wedding announcement, soon to come.

Susan's Bridal Shower Invite = Hello Nebraska!

I was super excited when I received a call from Gayle, a woman who had attended the last bridal shower that I designed an invite for, who wanted me to design an invite for a bridal shower that is to be held in Nebraska. That's right folks, Purple Paisley has ventured to Nebraska! Who would've thought? My most recent projects have all came about via word of mouth & I'm very grateful for those who are out there spreading the word!

Gayle told me the bride was using an aqua blue and Gerber daisies along with the colors associated with them & she wanted the invite to reflect that theme. I LOVE the way these turned out! I have had so much fun with bright & vivid colors lately.

And, one for me...

Like I said, it wouldn't be long before I had one of these for myself. (Although I haven't printed it yet, I did spend some time doing this that I should have been studying for finals....oops). Doesn't this feel so "vintage" though? I love it. I choose to use one of our wedding photos, which I would have liked to have done for Kellie's but since I had to steal the photo from the wedding invite I did for her, I had minimal photo options. I have had a request from my cousin to make one for her using the Provo Temple as the photo since she now has kids and felt like a wedding photo would have to be displayed in her bedroom (that sounds strange, but you know what I mean). I thought that was a great idea. A family photo would also be nice. Lots of options, and I think something like this makes a great gift. Mother's Day is just around the corner!

A Wedding Gift

I've been wanting to do something like this for a while now, and love how it turned out. This is a design I created and framed 11x14 as a piece for my friend's wedding gift. (As she is getting married tomorrow I am hoping she's too busy to see this before she opens it.... :0) I like it so much that I don't think it'll be long before I start working on one for myself. If you're interested in having one of YOUR own, or to give as a gift, let me know!

Thank You Card

I thought this was a great idea, although I can't take all of the credit for it. Once I delivered the shower invites (seen in last post) the lady who is throwing the party asked if I could created a thank you card based on the shower invite that she could give to the bride-to-be as a gift. What a great idea! It can be very tedious writing thank you notes and I loved the idea of having them coordinate with the original shower invite. We left some space below the type where the bride can sign her name to give it a little more personal touch.

Bridal Shower Invite

I was very excited when a lady I work with asked me to design an invitation for a bridal shower she was throwing for one of her neighbors/friend. She wanted the colors to match the wedding and was looking for something retro/vintage-style.
