candy bar options...

Becky!  How lucky are we to have Autumn in our life?!?!  So fun to see you... I'm trying to nail down your candy bar.

Which style is your favorite?




Triangle Banner


Puff decor
rustic Brights
asymetrical, simple
framed backdrop/quirky

branched..



vintage (below)
chalk wall?
wood elements

Very simplistic
Monogram


white candies, with color pop-outs?
(I found this cake I loved the randomness of it... just threw it in there)
candy bar with earth elements like wheat grass as a base?

I just had a party at my place and made this candy bar...
                                                                  Mixed patterns.
               The lighting is horrible in these photos, sorry.

Let me know what you like/don't like!
xo,  Annie

INVITATION DESIGN


Becky chose the colors of Yellow,  Fuschia, and Green. Hand Written Lettering with a hand drawn leaf pattern giving the invites an originality. All of the above pictures will look very different once they are letterpressed...so exciting!

Yellow theme:






I really love this shot above, I like the trees with the birds..fun outdoorsy.
I think the peachy pink (just a little look great with the yellow.
I thought the idea for a flower girl detail...not the dress the ribbon border...I know it looks crazy but could be really fresh and inexpensive to try on some of the little girls, even the big girls.

Dutch: Blue and white ceramic

Just ideas...
Okay stay with me....Remember the shredded fabric strips above Annie's cake you could do a washed out version of that in any color...here it is in the blue and White





DUTCH folk art theme

Below are examples of Dutch folk art...not blue and white. Style can be incorporated into your invite/colors/flowers/ etc.

Like or Dislike?

Invite inspiration.....

Becky- these are a wide variety of invite styles. I would look at these with Dave and get an idea together what style you are leaning towards....select a few and I will post more in that style.

















Yellow and Fuchsia



Close up of a hand written style..in right now...


I thought this shape was original.


I kind of love the Idea of the one above but maybe in a circle rather than a heart. Made up of little things that mean something to you both..like traveling a place, a tree where you first kissed, a place, a car, the ring, etc...I would love to illustrate it and get it letter pressed maybe yellow on white...or whatever your colors end up being.



Hard to see but it is a map of places the couple has been up to now and the story of there meeting...lick on the picture to make bigger.

I do feel like you to are about the journey/ travel...I like the idea of globes and airplanes, and boats, and climbing mountains to find each other....could be a cool subtle theme to work from..just thinking out load.
