Party invitations— more importantly all party paper goods— are one of my favorite parts of any party. They set the tone for the party and give a feel for what people should expect from the event. I designed these invitations to convey both a special occasion, but also a really FUN time. I used lots of bright colors, mixed patterns, and a script-like font to convey this feeling. The multi-layer party invitation, RSVP cards, and envelope liners help make sure that guests knew that this wasn’t just any old party, but something really special.
I shared my very first Facebook Live video featuring the invitations from this party.
I loved the Instagram posts featuring the anniversary party invitation suite! All heart eyes here.
Need some inspiration this Friday afternoon? I helped with this Love Letter Inspired Photoshoot about a million years ago in bloggers years (over two years ago in real years) and I never shared it! FOR SHAME. This lovely video by Megan Wilde previews the beauty that came together for a lovely afternoon photo session for Beyond the Wanderlust.
Many, many years ago I met the guy that turned out to be my husband. At that time I had no desire to ever be married. I had no desire to plan a wedding. Something strange happened to my very unromantic soul in dating my eventual husband. While I am still pretty sure that he is as happy as I am in the choice to marry, I am not sure he was prepared for what the planning of the wedding awakened in me… a love for weddings that would just NOT die.
I’m excited to be participating with a team of some of Portland’s very best wedding vendors to create a wedding space at the upcoming The Toast Wedding Showcase hosted by Elli.
When I say the very best in Portland’s wedding vendors I mean it! I’ve been inspired and incredibly excited by the ideas and work coming from my teammates for this event. We have a 10X10 space that we are creating with our inspiration coming from selected stationary provided by Elli.com.
Sneak peek into some of our inspiration for our space!
I’ll be creating a DIY wedding backdrop that I’ll eventually share here on the blog. In addition I’ll help with the styling of the space. Our rental company Something Borrowed Portland Vintage Rentals is bringing out all the stops with some really fabulous vintage rentals… including a brand new custom built item that will see its debut in this show! Lane’ will also be helping us style the space. The food elements are being put together with a custom menu by local northwest-style catering company, White Pepper. I’ve seen the custom menu and can’t wait see how it all looks! No wedding is complete without some gorgeous floral elements and our florist, Intimo: An Intimate Occasion Florist in Portland, has designed something truly spectacular. Local calligraphy artist Kelsey Malie is lending us talents to help really put the icing on this oh-so-gorgeous cake.
This event won’t only be a great way to gather inspiration and DIY wedding tips, but it also be a way to connect with wedding vendors in Portland that truly care about your event and their craft. In addition to seeing all the cool curated wedding spaces designed just for this event, attendees will also get:
Complimentary Appy Couple wedding website and app.
Entry into drawing for chance to win a free engagement photo shoot.
Gorgeous and festive photo booth pics courtesy of Happymatic.
Bridal style showcase with looks for events leading up to your big day.
First 125 attendees receive a gift bag full of surprises.
I’m also giving away two sets of two tickets! Bring your mom, your groom, your bride or someone from your bridal party! Make a girls/guys night of it or a romantic evening for two.
