April and May are an exciting time for soon-to-be married couples. June and July are HUGE wedding months and those few months before are when final details get settled, final fittings are done, and wedding invitations get mailed out!
I was so thrilled to meet the sweet Monica whose wedding I designed invitations for this spring in Laredo. This marks my first wedding, and it was a blast preparing the perfect wedding invitation for her and her fiance. It was also the first chance I had to work with Victor Soto III, an awesome event planner based in Laredo, TX, as well! (He's on Facebook)
She fell in love with the red dahlia used as a motif on the invitation as her colors were red and turquoise, a beautiful combination. In fact, Monica loved it so much that she decided to change the flowers at her wedding after seeing how lovely they were on the invitation and finding out they are in season this time of year!

Monica's invitation was a two-sided modern floral flat featuring a red dahlia as the chosen flower printed on gorgeous linen press paper.
Enclosed was a hand-crafted money envelope for this couple's non-traditional registry with "For the Newlywed" printed on the exterior. A sweet message on the interior requested guests to indicate how they wanted the couple to spend or save their gift.
The final touches were a ribbon with the wedding date "June 09 2012" around the invite and enclosure that was then tucked into a turquoise-lined exterior envelope. The ensemble was lovely and the bride AND wedding planner love it! I almost drew tears when I handed the box over to Monica after all was complete and ready for delivery!
