It's been a long process, but worth all the time and effort that I have put into it thus far. Being the Event Designer is much work, but it will all pay off to see the finished product on their wedding day. I must say I am getting anxious and excited at the same time for this wedding in late May. I am teaming up with some great vendors local to the Kalamazoo, Michigan (the location of the wedding).
This past weekend I met with Diane over at Sofia Floral to discuss the vision of the florals that will be present for Brandy + Tafari's wedding and reception. Diane and I were totally on the same page, and she took the Classic, yet Bold, European Inspired Wedding theme to the next level for the reception tablescape. She only had great insights to add including the different textures of white flowers that we could use in the wedding such as Peonies, Freesia, Queen Anne's Lace, Spray Roses and Gerbera Daisies with a dark center. The original hope for White Anemone's isn't going to happen since they aren't in season to the wedding date which is fine since Diane had great alternatives to get the same visual look. I don't want to give away all the tablescape details just yet, but it's definitely very intimate, an ecclectic mix of vases/containers and a mix of the old (history) and new (contemporary).
I have been talking with Dena over at Shabby Chic Cakes and she does wonderful custom cake designs, and I can't wait to see + taste the final result. Kimberly over at The Lighting Guy is going to transform the mood of The Arcadia Ballroom at The Radisson Plaza Hotel with amber lighting and dramatic draping. And one of my favorite photographers, Jessica of Jessica Johnston Photography is going to capture all the details and precious moments from Brandy + Tafari's wedding day!

Here's a visual refresher to Brandy + Tafari's wedding moodboard in case you all forgot and a link to my old post on this wedding.
The printed product:
Printing Technique: 1-color Offset Printing on Crane's Letra Pearl White, 21 pt thickness. Letterpress only on the envelope flap. And the accent piece that finishes the presentation of this wedding invite design is a custom die-cut "green" key. This isn't your cheapest wedding invite, but if you are looking for a wedding invitation statement, this is the way to go! The wedding guests will be intrigued, and it will definitely not go unnoticed. This invite is the guests' first impression to what the wedding day will be like.
The invite was printed by Gary over at AccuColor Plus, Inc. He's one of my preferred printers and has an impeccable eye for the printing process. He only churns out excellent work and that's why I go to him for a lot of my specialty printing needs.
