I wanted to share with you their wedding invitation because of the *buzz word* whimsicalness of it. And really, that's the only word that could describe it. With one of the best ceremony soundtracks to date, it was wonderful seeing these two start their lives together.<br /><br />Remember <a href="http://www.joliejoliedesign.com/blog/2010/04/15/light-on-paper-wedding-invitations-that-shine/">Deny</a>? He designed these wedding invitations for them. The first part was their faces on the royals intended to be playing cards. These were offset in two colors so they came out very vibrant.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.joliejoliedesign.com/blog/images/frontinvitation.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 392px; height: 567px;" src="http://www.joliejoliedesign.com/blog/images/frontinvitation.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Deny is a big typography buff and it shows in his work. Working with multiple fonts is difficult and has to be done with finesse. You can't just throw a bunch of random fonts together and pray that it looks cohesive. He's making the magician theme work and it isn't coming off too cheesy either.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.joliejoliedesign.com/blog/images/magic-wedding-invitation.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 600px; height: 371px;" src="http://www.joliejoliedesign.com/blog/images/magic-wedding-invitation.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>I was also a huge fan of the unique Playbill style wedding program. In essence, Joni and Simon are very much performers so it was only fitting to do a Playbill style wedding program. What I really enjoyed was the overall concept of the Acts and verbiage that was carefully thought out. If you zoom in, you'll see what I mean.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.joliejoliedesign.com/blog/images/wedding-program.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 544px; height: 808px;" src="http://www.joliejoliedesign.com/blog/images/wedding-program.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Now for some visuals from <a href="http://vividdelight.smugmug.com/">Vivid Delight Photography!</a> Guests were treated to <a href="http://www.treatbot.com/">Treatbot</a>: a karaoke ice cream truck local to the bay area. Since Simon loves ice cream and Joni is a singer, this was an entertaining combination. Our friend Mary was super excited for it :)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://vividdelight.smugmug.com/Weddings/simon-wedding/i-4RLR87b/0/L/bella11-L.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 618px; height: 544px;" src="http://vividdelight.smugmug.com/Weddings/simon-wedding/i-4RLR87b/0/L/bella11-L.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Paper flowers from song sheets<br /><br /><a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/297023_240828249286165_208336129202044_574188_5790991_n.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 612px; height: 384px;" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/297023_240828249286165_208336129202044_574188_5790991_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/314868_240828339286156_208336129202044_574189_1667197_n.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 618px; height: 411px;" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/314868_240828339286156_208336129202044_574189_1667197_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">CONGRATS AGAIN!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://vividdelight.smugmug.com/Weddings/simon-wedding/i-rRMjvRh/0/L/bella75-L.jpg"><br /></a><a href="http://vividdelight.smugmug.com/Weddings/simon-wedding/i-qLKRqQw/0/L/bella48-L.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 663px; height: 442px;" src="http://vividdelight.smugmug.com/Weddings/simon-wedding/i-qLKRqQw/0/L/bella48-L.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://vividdelight.smugmug.com/Weddings/simon-wedding/i-rRMjvRh/0/L/bella75-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 600px;" src="http://vividdelight.smugmug.com/Weddings/simon-wedding/i-rRMjvRh/0/L/bella75-L.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div>Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07648557354005139829noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7037975908678090853.post-33572341361380295172011-09-11T17:32:00.001-07:002011-09-11T17:36:26.818-07:00Laura George Illustrations and PrintsThis is what happens when you browse on <a href="http://www.etsy.com">Etsy</a>.

Naturally, everyone is on a tight budget so of course we turn to the internets for some DIY wedding ideas. With some time and a few good friends, a DIY wedding can really save you some money as well as make your wedding day much more personal. Rather than make you search all over the web for them, I have generously blogged about some of my recent favorites. You may thank me now.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The awesome DIY photobooth wall found on </span><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://50.56.117.209/diy-photobooth-vintage-wallpaper-frame-wall-backdrop/">Ruffled</a><span style="font-weight: bold;">. </span><br />Forget those expensive photobooth rentals.

Yes, her baby has already arrived if you were curious! The story behind the airplane theme is that her father was a pilot and so the plane has significant meaning to her. Also, it's a great theme for a boy's baby shower. The idea is that they are taking flight into parenthood.<br /><br />Now, I had just had my baby but I had all these crazy ideas I wanted to do to make it special for her but I had to limit myself but I did have help from some wonderful and creative people. Also, she wanted it to be a family-style picnic at a park so our job was to turn the picnic area and all its concrete picnic tables into something nice. On top of that, Lisa is very popular so she had 60 people at this baby shower! Regardless, it was great fun.<br /><br />The baby shower invitation mimicked the old par avion envelopes treated with some type. I also had some par avion labels and guestbook cards made as well.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.joliejoliedesign.com/blog/images/lb.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 817px;" src="http://www.joliejoliedesign.com/blog/images/lb.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>We set up a sweets table in the middle of the picnic area and tried to cover up of the ugly gazebo looking thing as we could. We had old vintage suitcases and wooden biplanes from Michaels! Lisa loves popcorn so one of her friend's made three different custom flavored popcorn of butter, cheddar and snickerdoodle. The suitcases were also stuffed with other delicious goodies such as homemade honey roasted peanuts and toffee chocolate chip cookies.<br /><br /><a href="http://joliejoliedesign.com/blog/images/1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 914px;" src="http://joliejoliedesign.com/blog/images/1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://joliejoliedesign.com/blog/images/3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 1213px;" src="http://joliejoliedesign.com/blog/images/3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />We had also bought these wooden airplane kits for $1 from Michael's as favors for people to build there or take from home. They were sooo cheap and you get paint and glue with the kit! We built a few to use as decoration on our runway tables. We had some Chinese food since Lisa was not eating nitrates or carcinogen-induced burgers at the time. I picked up these cute little bento looking trays for food and made custom chopstick wrappers for each one--slightly reminiscent of airplane tray food. Also no caffeine so we had delicious Shirley Temples to quench our thirst.<br /><br /><a href="http://joliejoliedesign.com/blog/images/4.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 1691px;" src="http://joliejoliedesign.com/blog/images/4.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>It was such a fun day and we are so happy that Baby Ezra is here to play.
