Stinkerpants Real Wedding: Stacie and Nick

Confession: I absolutely love drawing wedding themes. I love the idea that an entire wedding can be built around one of my illustrations, and the creative ways that my clients use their drawings never ceases to amaze me. I've been meaning to post some of the "real weddings" from my past clients to show you guys how a wedding theme can be used -- and what better wedding to start with than that of Stacie & Nick?

I had the honor of creating Save the Dates, Thank You Notes, Invitations and a wedding theme for this couple. Stacie was a ton of fun to work with - I love it when a client has fun style and a bit of a wild side. :) In case you missed it, here are Stacie & Nick's wedding invitations.

Stacie and Nick were married by the ocean, and wanted a very colorful wedding using the colors orange, pink and red. Playing off the beach theme, I incorporated sand dollars and starfish in a circular design (I prefer circles or squares for wedding themes -- it makes them easier for the client to place on different printed materials). When the wedding theme was complete, I provided Stacie with a few digital files. Using those images, she created all of the elements you're about to see. 

I absolutely LOVE how they used the theme I designed - check it out!

Their reception tables, with favor boxes and menus. 

And stickers for the candy buffet bags (I love candy buffets. I hope they never go out of style).

Stacie & Nick are the second couple I've worked with who provided their cake (or in this case, cupcake!) baker with the theme. Check out this gorgeous cupcake display, incorporating the sand dollars and the sea stars from the drawing!

Love. And now I'm hungry.

Thank you so much for permission to use the photos, Stacie! Congratulations to you and Mark, both on your beautiful wedding and your gorgeous new daughter!
