a fall wedding
The leaves are finally changing here, just in time to make it feel a little bit like Fall right before Thanksgiving. Their pretty colors and shapes reminded me of my brother-in-law Justin and his darling wife Sarah's wedding, which happened two years ago this very week.
They asked me to design a simple wedding announcement, and we thought the fall leaves were a nice starting point. Three different colors of leaves with the text in a nice brown. I also printed some matching stationery for them to use as thank you cards.
Sarah was a strikingly beautiful bride. I loved her short pixie cut (she looked just like a young Mia Farrow).
It was also super windy and really COLD, and it had been snowing off and on all week. But what bride wants to wear a coat? Sarah is a dancer and naturally wore knit leg warmers.
My favorite part was instead of having traditional wedding cake, they had a tower of creme brulee. The day before the wedding the bride and groom made batch after batch. I loved how they stacked them up so it still felt like a wedding cake (though much more delicious in my opinion!).
Happy Anniversary Justin and Sarah!

I think her legwarmers look awesome . . . it kind of suggests mixing in a rougher, larger texture (like wool or acrylic knit) with the usual smooth and sleek texture palette of wedding dresses . . .
you had me at "a tower of creme brulee." amazing.
Yup, tower of creme brulee is probably the cutest idea ever! And most delicious!
Brooke, you always have simple yet stunning design solutions. Way to compliment this beautiful couple with your bang-up work!

Such a beautiful bride. I love nothing more than the color of fall leaves. They were perfect. Also the tour of creme brulee was marvelous; I just love that stuff.
