Rustic bridal shower - burlap stationery

Today we are sharing a special project we had at the beginning of this year. The bridal shower was taking place in a rustic location and the stationery was designed with this in mind. What more appropriate accessory can you ask for when it comes to making it look rustic than BURLAP??

 

The stationery collection included menu cards

 

Made on ivory cardstock, handstamped and shaded for a more vintage look.

 

 

 

Gift table signs

 

 

Bar signs: the bride and groom were serving their favorite cocktails.

 

 

 

Also: each guest could use one of these cards to give advice to the new bride.

 

 

 What an ingenious idea. They were later added to the wedding scrapbook.

 

 

 

The bridal shower included a guessing game.

 

 

The cards were hung on a hemp string and the questions were initially answered by the groom. Let's hope that the bride found the right answers!

 

 

This must have been fun!

Custom Birthday Shaker Cards

 

Happy Birthday!

 

This card was a rush order for a friend... It was supposed to be a Birthday Party Invite but it ended as a Favor Thank You Card.

 It went through a few changes before it became what it is.

 Anyway, the Birthday Cake is tickled by little shiny beeds.

The shaker card combines the birthday girl's favorite colors: each card is a unique piece of art.

Each of the lucky guests receives one of these unique shaker cards.

Savannah Smiles Wedding - First Posting

 

 For our first post we want to share with you one of our favorite invitations.

 

 It was custom made for a rustic country wedding. Everything was made according to the bride’s taste. Well…. Except for the wood graining, which was the groom’s request.

 

The wood graining was used on the outside as well as on the inside of the invite:

 

 

The graining was hand painted on taupe card stock, using the Martha Stewart wood graining tool. This was a fun project.

 

 A very involved invite, intricate, combining rustic elements, like de burlap, with modern techniques like the silver embossing.

 

For the 300plus invites we killed about 3 heat guns. They didn't last a long time. In fact it was quite frustrating at times. So mom came up with a very ingenious idea, which we will share in a future post: heat embossing SavannahSmiles style! It's funny too!

 

 This was a dream wedding and a huge favorite of ours!

You can find this invite in our Etsy shop!
