Palm Springs Wedding Invites: Megan + Josh

Megan and Josh are one of my favorite clients from this year! Their enthusiasm for life and one another is completely infectious. We had so much fun with their save the date that I couldn’t wait to see what we came up for their invitations. The wedding was two weeks ago at the ACE Hotel in Palm Springs. We wanted to keep the design on par with the retro feel from the save the date. Megan and Josh had so many elements that made up their story that we came up with the idea to create an icon to represent each one and let that become the artwork. For example: Josh is a doctor, the couple met rowing, they are both from Seattle, they are avid readers…. you get the idea. We created all the icons in a graphic style {to keep with our theme} and used the couples retro inspired colors to help illustrate the concept even further. For the RSVP card, we created a custom logo {that was later printed on striped pool towels- obsessed} and placed it on top of a chevron pattern to compliment the design. We wanted the backs of both cards to feel very bold while letting the fronts feel open and clean. For the day of elements, Megan and Josh re-used a lot of their icons and created some great pieces that we’ll share here soon!

Palm Springs Save the Date

Even with the blue skies we’ve been having lately in New York, I can’t help but be a little jealous of the Palm Springs weekend KJ and Elizabeth planned! {Relaxing by the pool with a margarita? Doesn’t sound half bad.} Their travel themed save the date is full of bright colors and bold designs that reflect the retro 50’s vibe that makes Palm Springs so unique. We decided to do a custom designed brochure to get the guests excited for a weekend wedding extravaganza. Complete with a luggage tag to throw on your suitcase, there’s no excuse not to put this one on the calendar.
