How can you make your whole wedding come together and be cohesive with stationery? One of my favorite things in my business is to work with a couple from start to finish on their wedding stationery. Starting with the save the dates or invitations, and work all the way through to their paper goods for the wedding day. And then, it’s like Christmas when I see the gallery from the photographer capturing all of these beautiful moments and to see how all of those details we worked so hard on made such a huge impact on their big day. You can see some samples of how weddings come full circle with stationery in the Real Weddings section of my website. I like to consider what I do as Wedding Branding. It it truly creating a look and feel for your entire wedding.
So today I wanted to talk about some of the most common items that I work on with couples to help make their big day complete.
