An ULTRA Hip And Modern Save The Date Card - For Mark & Diane's (aka Lady Dye) Wedding!

Yea!!!   I am E X T R A excited to introduce everyone to my fiance & I's personal Save The Date Card! Mark and I designed this card together, so it was truly custom designed by the both of us! It was designed with love and excitement for sure! For this card, we had no idea what we wanted but we both decided it had to be "hip", bold, modern, festive, and fun, with a touch of vintage!  So with this in mind, the design all started at my fingertips! With our wedding colors already finalized, I sat at my laptop and started designing and playing with graphics and layout.  And as usual, the design evolved and came to fruition! This is typically how all my fun and custom projects start out.  It's always best to give the Designer "artistic freedom"!
And even better, with our wedding colors of black, white, and yellow, with accents in turquoise, we totally nailed the design, creating a totally "hip", bold, and modern Save The Date!  With the scrolls and banner graphic our card has a touch of vintage, as it plays into our venue and fits our Nash Vegas locale as well!
We mailed these out just before the Christmas holidays, so we could hit two birds with one stone!  It worked out great, as we stuffed the envelopes with our save the date card and a personal photo Christmas card! We also decided to add an insert card to get our guests E X T R A excited for our big day! We listed our "Franklin Favorites" and "Sites to See" in the Franklin area.  I think for sure, we got all our guest's drooling over all the great food and drink spots!
 The brilliant turquoise accent color was incorporated into the design with the envelope and a graphic border on the card. All other details were in our main colors of black, white, and yellow. We used "rays" of dots and a double-lined diamond shaped checker board grid as a backdrop.  The set is designed with a mix of matte and metallic finished cardstocks.  As Frances Chamberlain (my Landscape Architecture studio professor at Clemson University) would say, "All great designs should be a "welcoming" design".  And such is this one, as the bold black graphics "open their arms".  As Emeril Lagasse would say, "BAM"!  That is the effect you get when you open and reveal this card! And that is exactly what Mark and I wanted!  It's definitely over-the-top but that is exactly what Save The Dates are for! Make that first great impression!
The design is full of movement and detail and we topped it off with a festive matching mailing wrap address label and envelope liner!  For our very close friends and family, we addressed the labels with their fun nicknames!
