We’ve been busy this season on a variety of projects with varying styles. Here is some work from the past couple of months:

Invitation and Welcome packet for a Hilton Head Bride. We loved the teal ink she incorporated into her set!

Save the Date Postcard for a bride from New York. Beautiful photography to work with!

Fun coasters for a reception!

Food signage for a very lovely recent wedding

This bride is all about some glam. We loved turning her style into a save the date!

The Charleston Trees are ever popular! We were happy to revisit this set for a recent bride. 

It’s warm in Charleston, and we’ve just indulged in the first beach weather weekend of the season. The above real wedding, though it took place last November, reminds us of the beach: cool greens, beach grasses, and fresh photography by Marni Rothschild. We loved working with Ellen Robinson at WED who designed Liz and Brien’s lovely affair last fall. Their letter pressed invitation was simple but beautiful and set the stage for their lowcountry event. The table numbers opened to reveal the dinner menu, a creative idea we used first for Liz and Brien. We love the natural, yet very classic look of the entire wedding. 

Happy warm weather and wedding season! 

Congratulations to the newlyweds, Casey and Zach Tarrant, who got married this past April. We had the great privilege of doing the couple’s save the date, invitation, and day of stationery. Carrie Glasscock of A Charleston Bride thrilled us with her great ideas bringing bright color and lots of ribbon into the event design. It’s exciting to work with COLOR especially in the midst of the current “neutrals” trend. Though we tied ribbons on menus for a while here in the studio, it was totally worth it. We loved working with Casey and Zach and can’t wait to see more photos of the event!

Here’s a quick overview of some things we’ve been up to in the studio this week:

Lowcountry themed stationery set using papaya, navy, and champagne. We loved how cute and small these inserts are and how this bride incorporated brown bag envelopes into her thank you cards and save the date folder. 

Gold Foiled Rehearsal Dinner invitation set. We love how the bright gold and antique gold compliment each other to make such a classic invitation!

“Cigars” station sign and table number for a wedding this weekend. We just love how fun these are! Can’t wait to see the pictures of these pieces in event action!

Have a great weekend everyone and happy spring!

We had a blast being a part of Courtney and Randy’s wedding celebration this past fall. Courtney, along with Melissa at A Charleston Bride, had wonderful day of stationery ideas that allowed us to be creative and truly contribute to the look of the event. Thanks to talented photographer Tim Willoughby, we have lovely photos to show how tags, signage, programs, and packets can help to make a celebration to remember!

This week has been FULL with the hype (yes, it’s hype) of spring wedding season—invitations in, invitations out, and conquering our first big day-of jobs for the spring months. Though we’ve been on our toes, it is always satisfying to see designs come to life, like the above three invitation sets we sent out this week. We loved the color palettes and patterns these brides chose for their sets. And after a full week, we are looking forward to a little Friday night cocktail like the one above…so springy and sweet. See the recipe below and happy friday!

Ingredients

1 Sugar Cubes, 2 drops Angostura bitters, 2 tablespoons cherry brandy, 2 ounces rose Champagne

We love the way that weddings can be so unique and specific to a bride. Truly, every event can detail the couple behind it and the things that they love. Here’s a simple way we have paired different inspiration with our designs to show how we can contribute to making your wedding day truly YOU. 

HAPPY WEEKEND!

We were happy to contribute to Jenny and Jason’s exciting wedding day this past fall. Jenny chose a lilac purple and this chain-link pattern at the beginning of her wedding planning stages. We kept this theme consistent from her save the date to her invitation and into her day of materials—menus, welcome box, and signage. As you can see from the above images by Melanie Nashan, Jenny, with Ellen Robinson at WED, used her color and pattern in pillows, napkins, cake, and other wedding details. This bride had a vision and it turned out spectacular. And check out that couple dancing. How fun are they? 

We’re excited to introduce our “Printing Processes” blog series to inform our readers and clients about the different printing options we offer here at Studio R! Sometimes it’s just helpful to know more about the options as you image and envision your dream invitation. We hope you enjoy!
