Wedding Recap: The Branding.

So we started the day with the beautiful invitations by Paper Moss.  Not to shabby. Well this afternoon, we'll continue on the paper train with all the wedding branding stemming from the invitations. This was another thing that was high on my priority list - a cohesive message from beginning to end.  The invitations set the tone and then when guests arrived the Welcome Bag picked up where they left off. Once again, I had a crazy vision in my head and like a fairy godmother, Emily waved her magic wand {or perhaps computer mouse in this case} and wallah!

I love them and I may or may not use the leftover bags for grocery bags. Just trying to be green here people! We also had shirts made for our rehearsal dinner guest with our smaller monogram, which I now live in.  Ok, back to the paper. Mr. C and I are known to enjoy a nice cocktail, so I knew custom coasters and stirrers would be part of our paper story. We took the quote that was on the back of the belly band on the invitation and Emily created a fabulous coaster.  The stirrer was in each of the Del's cups with our little monogram.

And now we shall talk escort cards. I had another crazy idea that I just wouldn't let go. Mr. C and I met in a quiet little beach community, and to get on the beach there you have to have a beach button. I wanted those buttons to be a part of our escort cards - Emily not only made it happen, but they were perfect. I swear she can get into my head. We pined them on cards with the same print that was on the back of the invitation. Tying it all together.

Megan Chapin of Megan Chapin Calligraphy did all of the calligraphy work. To say she is fabulous would be an understatement. Not only does she do beautiful work, she proofreads and finds mistakes I shouldn't admit to making!

Emily also whipped up signs for to make sure guests were all on the same page. I wanted these to add a little personality so I pulled together some goofy sayings for the escort table, guest book and dessert table.

I feel like I am missing a million things - but I think this will suffice for your afternoon pick me up! And have no fear, wedding recap week is not over my friends!
