Katie asked me to come up with a design for her August, sunflower-themed wedding. I was thrilled. Not just because I love designing invitations, but because she’s my niece!
I married a man with three sisters and they all have daughters… seven of them (and one, very out numbered, son)!! I wasn’t in the picture when they were little. I came along when they were teenagers and I’ve watched them grow into beautiful young women. And now, I’m getting to know them better… through their weddings.
Katie was the third family wedding. She’s sweet, smart and easy going. She has a fun party side, and a sophisticated side. I tried to show all of that in the design, how did I do?

There were several components. The wedding invitation, reception card, and reply card that were pulled together in a black linen pocket folder. We did a program for the ceremony and place cards for the reception. Since the groom’s family lives in another state, there was a second invitation for the reception being held there.
Thank you Katie, for letting me share in your wedding. Best of luck to you and Ryan!
