Tess and Erik | Bermuda Wedding Invitations | CMP for à deux : bespoke bridal paper

I think that I had a freak out moment this afternoon. Ok, I know that I had a freak out moment this afternoon when I opened up the over the top Save the Date that I worked on with my print partner, à deux : bespoke bridal paper. The level of detail is amazing in this multi layered, multi-texture one of a kind Bermuda wedding Save the Date. Well, it really is much more than a Save the Date. When planning a destination wedding it is important for guests to book their airfare and flight far in advance from the date of the wedding to obtain the best prices. In the print material we were certain to include information not only on rates at the Fairmont Southhampton Hotel, but air fares etc. for the guests travel convenience.

The bride wanted sand, and sand she got. It is after all, all about the pink sand of Bermuda. The applique sand and shells on the inside cover on the Bermuda Blue Box Blew me away. Say that one five times fast. All in all, I am a tough critic, this is one of the very best that I have ever seen. I almost forgot that I will get to go to this wedding. That I will again have my little toes in the pink sand and Kevin, my dear Kevin will be there too as a special guest of this most amazing family. Getting the save the date brought me right back to our most recent visit to this lush island to plan the wedding. I am getting a little misty eyed to think that the wedding is upon us......and a little thirsty for a rum swizzle. To Tess and Erik and the rest of my beloved Griswold clan, I love you guys. AND if that dog pees on my Louis this time it will be a deal breaker.......A little insider Rochester, MA humor. 

Thank you Kelli. Brilliant!!

Tess & Erik | Destination Wedding Save The Dates | à deux : bespoke bridal paper

 

 When planning a destination wedding, the Save the Date becomes a much more important part of the wedding stationary suite. Of course, it announces the wedding, but for destination weddings it is also important to get a good understanding as to who will be coming to your wedding. There is so much more to plan for when your guests are travelling to your wedding. For example things like hotel room rates, travel to and from airports, hints to international travellers and things to do while you are at the destination should all be included in the Save The Date Design.

Tess & Erik are so excited about their wedding as are their parents and the rest of the family as well. Who wouldn't be right? Hello, ......we are all going to Bermuda. The design for their Save the Date is coming along really well. I love how à deux has used the bride's signature shades, inspired by the stunning waters that surround the cluster of islands known as The Bermuda's. Adding details such as the shells and a bit of sand to the invitations will give the guests an experience of travel from the moment that they open this fabulous invitations.

We will have an additional printed card in the suite which will outline air travel and accomodations so guests can take advantage of the lesser fares by planning in advance. When we send the invitation, the guests will be able to visit a wedding web site designed just for Tess & Erik. Along with their engagment photos, we will be able to give her guests a digital glimpse into the Fairmont South Hampton Bermuda and it's amazing grounds. My guess is that they are going to be thrilled. I can hardly wait to get mine in the mail!!!

Gold and Crystal Wedding Invitation | Signature Partner | Praez Occasions

While I was on Facebook today, I saw that one of my favorite hotels, The Fairmont Copley, turns 98 years old today. That of course got me thinking about all of the magical moments that I have had within that hotel for the work that I do. It also got me thinking about my bride Lucy and Greg. Their wedding to be held in the Oval Ballroom is a just a few weeks away. The print material always sets the tone for a wedding and gives guests an idea as to what the theme of the party will be and at what level it will be done at.
