A stunning Winter white wedding, lots of fresh snow on a clear, crisp day...
‘I Do’ started discussing the design and wedding stationery theme with Nicky and James in May 09. Nicky was very clear the colours throughout would be chocolate brown and lime green (to match the bridesmaids dresses). With the wedding date just one week before Xmas, a busy time of year for most, we needed to get Save the Date cards out as early as possible, so guests could mark the date on their calendars. Nicky and James chose the ‘Tri-fold’ Save the Date cards, which set the stationery theme of roses illustration using the choc brown and lime. By July we had the ‘Oxborough’ wedding invitation proofed and approved for print, completed with a choc brown backing board and lime green ribbon. Nicky and James were very pleased with the feedback from guests on the stationery design and the ‘tear-off RSVPs’ came flooding back with excited acceptance. A second invitation went out to guests in October for an extended celebration luncheon to be held the following day after the wedding, a simple postcard style invite was designed carrying the rose and colour theme.
Each guest received an ‘Order of Service’ booklet, which included Christmas Carols on this occasion. The wedding reception was held at James parents grounds in a beautiful marquee with a ‘Tiki’ bar set up, complete with sand and surf boards, and to show off Nicky and James love of sports the ‘Table Names’ were named after various famous tennis stars. ‘Menus’, ‘Place Names’ and ‘Table Plan’ carried on the rose and colour theme.
Square open ‘Thank You’ cards were completed in the New Year upon the newly weds return from honeymoon.
I have to say, I think the chocolate brown and lime works really well together and has been my favourite combination so far this year.
Congratulations Nicky & James.
