I had so much fun designing a suite for Cheryl and Frank, a great, easygoing couple, who came to me for their save the date and full invitation suite. As soon as they said it’s a vineyard wedding, the ideas for this theme began swirling in my head like wine in a glass at a wine tasting!  The newly engaged couple had only two stipulations: they wanted a map of Long Island, a pretty special area – that’s where they spend a lot of their free time by the shore, where got engaged, and where the wedding would be held, and, obviously they wanted the wine theme somehow in there. Yes and yes, done! Cheryl being an artist and a creative designer, was already ahead of the game with a great vineyard inspired color palette, which proved to be a fantastic base to play with the colors and textures. For the save the date, I did a 3.5″ round coaster, letterpress printed with a ‘glass wine stain’, and the pertinent info inside it. A flat circular magnet was stuck to the back, for easy placement by the recipient. The envelope flap featured an old-fashioned cork screw and a cork – to indicate a relaxed setting of opening up a bottle to plan this event out.
