RECENT WORK: A CREST WITH MUTED FLORALS

Another pretty crest design with a muted color palette.  Loved the floral inspiration I received for this and the addition of the barn illustration (where this couple will get married) is the little cherry on top!

RECENT WEDDING WORK + A FEATURE ON TOWN & COUNTRY MAG

Recent 'day of' stationery for a fun couple! I loved that they included their pup in the design and all the bright, pretty colors I was able to incorporate.  We printed individual menus, hand painted the 16 x 20 welcome sign along with 8 smaller hand painted signs for things like sparklers, cards, etc. I cut and painted the Mr. & Mrs. wood signs (plus two for their moms) to hang on the back of their chairs. All kinds of fun stuff for these two! 

THEN... Town and Country Magazine featured this crest design on their list of top wedding illustrators.  When I realized I was one of eight I was completely floored. I am so honored to be included in some amazing press lately!

RECENT WORK : A HAPPY CREST FOR A NURSERY

The colors of this bright, happy crest have to be some of my favorite so far.  This was created for Summer of Grey Likes, to print large scale in her baby girls nursery. LOVE! We based the idea off of the crest that was originally designed for her wedding by Mae Mae & Co.  We used the same animals and crest shape with the addition of my bright florals and their family motto. 

She's just the sweetest and this was so much fun to work on!

A BRIGHT, BOLD CREST

Making crests are so much fun, a process, but fun none the less.  You can see here how my scatterbrained sketches turn into the final product.  I like to see how my mess of florals, initials, and lettering comes together so nicely in the end.  I worked with Amy to create something bright and colorful, something that would reflect their wedding day and personal style.  We ended up with a more simple save the date as well. I love to see how people end up incorporating their crests into their wedding design.  So great! xx
