As a designer, I aimed for a consistent look and feel in our wedding collateral that reflected both my husband’s and my personalities. To create a unique "brand" for our special day, I incorporated silhouettes of our pets—our mini zoo of a dog, three cats, four chickens, a goldfish, and bees—into all invitations and signage.
The design process began with our "Save the Date" invites, featuring a romantic cursive font. I arranged the animal silhouettes cohesively and subtly integrated bees into a dot pattern in the background. The color palette of blue and pastel tones complemented our DIY venue and table setup.
This cohesive branding was a labor of love, and I’m proud of the hours spent creating various designs. The end result beautifully captured the essence of our wedding, and I hope you enjoy these designs as much as I enjoyed creating them!

This was the look and feel of the reception area. We created and set-up this space with the help of our friends and family. We even made the Toi Toi chandeliers! It was a designers dream with everything DIY and made by us.
For our table gifts we decided to give everyone wildflower seeds they could grow to attract the bees.
