I’m a little late in posting this, but in the fall of 2009 we were approached by Lara Casey, editor of Southern Weddings Magazine to contribute to a “Watercolors” themed photoshoot. Knowing the amazing people she works with, we were thrilled to participate. The theme was described as “Marie Antoinette decadence and classic garden restraint, this pink, blue and stone palette is a sweet but surprisingly bold look.”
We chose to design the menu and knew that lux materials coupled with elegant calligraphy would compliment the theme perfectly. We started off with a powdery blue (real) silk backing. Then, my amazing graphic artist sketched the ribbon/banner design, and lastly we commissioned Robyn with Designs by Robyn Love to provide the calligraphy. Simple and sweet, and the end result, delicious.
Speaking of sweet and delicious, we also chose to provide the favors. Using adorable mini canning jars, we alternated between a tasty lemony/raspberry baked treat, strawberry/kiwi loose leaf tea, and aromatic bath salts. Completing the package we tied vintage wooden spoons and forks with hand ripped silk strands. I wish I could find a photo online, but you can see our work (and larger photos of our menu design) in the Southern Weddings Magazine, Volume II, pages 47-48.
