Save the Date: K and M!

June 22, 2009 in Blog • Weddings-Blog • Custom Weddings • Save The Dates

Happy Monday, people!  I am feeling *much* better since devising a new (well, sort of) direction for my business.  But more on that later.

For right now, I have a project to show you guys.  Actually, I have a backlog of projects!  My friend Marianne pointed out last week that I’m a slacker with sharing my finished projects on the blog, and she really enjoys seeing them.  So here’s a recent Save the Date!

When M first contacted me, she got me *very* excited about drawing a cheongsam (a Chinese red wedding dress).  As some of you may remember, I had the cheongsam for my wedding custom made, so I learned a lot about the beauty of these dresses.

M had a lot of other details to incorporate, too, including the date written in red diamonds (I’d never noticed that before, but it’s  a common way to write dates in Chinese culture!), paper lanterns with Chinese characters, and their pet turtles, climbing all over one another.

Here’s a detail shot of the turtles.  M sent me a photo of her turtles to work from!  I love including pets in drawings, and the turtles were a first!

I really love how these Save the Dates turned out! It was really fun to incorporate Chinese traditions into fun Save the Dates.

And as I said last week, I just finished a BUNCH of projects that were *really* fun to draw, so I look forward to sharing them with you, too!

I am totally thrilled with these Save the Dates!  They’ll be going out in a few days.  I can’t wait for M to receive them!

C & C’s Save the Dates

Remember last week, when I told you C & C’s Save the Dates were on the way?  Well, they received them, so now I can show you the whole thing!

Here’s the front:

And the inside:

C & C are getting married next year on the Fourth of July, and wanted to incorporate the holiday into their Save the Date.   They also have a VERY handsome pooch named Brewer, who (as you pet lovers will surely agree) had to be involved.

I love how these turned out!  C & C were a lot of fun to work with–they have such fun personalities.  And of course, I love drawing people’s pets.  :)

Thanks for letting me be a part of your wedding, guys!
