A {Victorian} Grand Affair

Filed Under : Invitations - Paper Projects - Wedding

Remember the sneak peek I gave you all at the beginning of this month? Or even the backstage photo? Well, the images have finally been posted on Daniel Usenko‘s blog and now I’m excited to share them with you! But first, make sure you stop by Daniel Usenko’s blog to see his post of this shoot because these images would not be so beautiful if it wasn’t for his creative eye.

And of course Kae of Short and Sweet Design…who styled the shoot with a modern twist on the Victorian Era. Simply lovely, don’t you think? She assembled the table centerpiece and bride’s bouquet herself, so let’s tuck that into her list of talents. Read more about the details on her blog when she puts up the pictures soon.

The stationery was all about typography. Starting with the invitation and down to the simple table numbers, each piece was printed on creamy felt-textured paper with burnt gold, dark mauve, and burgundy inks. The invitation was coordinated with a brown envelope with shimmery gold lining; the reply card with an ivory one with the same gold lining. The dessert menu was “oomphed” up with a strand of gold ribbon, as were the place cards that were neatly tucked into the linen napkins and tied down with the same gold ribbon.

And of course, we needed some “sweetly ever after” next to the cake. Good thing I brought along lots of gold ribbon for the shoot because the cake looked even more scrumptious when it adopted one of the pretty strands and was then decked out with pretty flowers.

And wasn’t the model just gorgeous? And I just had to put that chandelier in. So beautiful!

It is quite the honor indeed to be featured on Southern Weddings today! The gals behind the inspirational blog and magazine are simply brilliant! Check it out here!

When Daniel Usenko contacted me about this inspirational wedding shoot, I was more than happy to be a part of it! Daniel was my wedding photographer for one good reason: his work beats all! To be part of another wedding with him? Of course! And then there’s the lovely Zherebnenko sisters: Kae and Alesya of Short & Sweet Design. They styled this wonderful shoot. And Anna of Flowerbelle made the most delicious flowers! Check out her blog for more details on those flowers! Below I put up pictures of the stationery I designed specifically for the shoot — but before you keep scrolling down, make sure you don’t miss out on the full shoot beforehand! You don’t want to miss seeing the bride and her bouquet, the cake, the vintage furniture, etc. It’ll make the stationery-viewing a lot more fun! Stop by the Southern Weddings blog post and leave some love!

It’s so exciting to be able to show you the pictures of the stationery now! Printed on creamy linen paper with muted turquoise, buttery yellow, and warm gray inks, the stationery is all about pattern. The stylists wanted something clean and crisp with a clean pattern. There went my idea of crazy embellishments! So I embraced a very simple symbol of sorts: the square bracket. Complimented with brown kraft envelopes and muted turquoise and ivory ruffled ribbons…check out the images on my website as well!
