Jean's Wedding

Five Gocco screens, a little stress and a lot of ink….Jean’s wedding invitations are done! I finished the text printing last night while Rob was off volunteering with the Bike Coalition. The final result looks bright, fun and handcrafted – just what they were going for.

Weather permitting, the plan is to set one giant table down an olive tree-lined road for Jean and Trent’s wedding reception. I love the visuals impact and romantic symbolism of having all your guests share a single table. Outstanding in the Field seems to be the expert at setting long tables both indoors and out.…

As someone who has dabbled in marksmanship and is currently reading about zombie-slaying Bennets, I loved hearing about Meg’s surprise bachelorette shooting party. What a fun idea!

Save the date cards are done! I worked with Jean and Trent over the past few weeks to create designs that matched their “farm fiesta” theme. The cards are scalloped 4 bar from Paper Source. I used Jura for the navy fonts and made the picado design based on a scan of a flag we…

Jean’s wedding is moving ahead at full speed. I’m finishing the save the date gocco designs this week and shipping them out early next week. You’ll get a sneak peak at the final product! In the meantime, the paintings from our wedding are in the works. If you recall, we commissioned the very talented Paul…

A farm wedding would be just right for flowers mixed with fruit. This loose arrangement includes citrus ranunculus and geraniums.

I don’t think I’ve shared my “mini-donk” obsession with you yet. Yep, my imaginary country estate comes equipped with a Scottish deerhound, plenty of tweed and an adorable miniature donkey. Ooookay…too much information. Hey, look! Cute donkey stamped wedding favors. It would be a snap to make something like this on the Gocco.
