"Falling" in love :)

We met this bride a few months ago when she contacted us after seeing the stationery we did for the wedding of a relative.  The couple tied the knot in early November.  Absolutely Inviting created ceremony programs, menu cards, table numbers, and a seating chart for the fabulous event in a colour scheme of gold and orange (very fitting for the fall).  Enjoy this quick pic of some of the stationery from the event!

Wedding Feature: Tremmaine & Elwood - "It's all in the details"

As we mentioned in our last wedding feature, we absolutely LOVE when we have an opportunity to showcase our work beyond the borders of the Bahamas. We were once again given the opportunity to provide the stationery for an international wedding when we were contacted by the bride Tremmaine, attorney and owner of Tremm Jocale - a jewelry and accessory business based in the Turks and Caicos- about her upcoming Orlando, FL wedding to Elwood, a network and systems analyst.

After one telephone conversation and a few e-mail and instant messages, during which the bride advised that she wanted hanging programs which incorporated the colors fuchsia and orange, we created a design which was classic and clean yet bold and youthful.

Here’s what the bride had to say:

“Absolutely Inviting did an AWESOME job on our wedding programmes!! We couldnt have done a better job on the monogram which we will continue to use! The programmes were absolutely stunning and you made our vision a reality! We will definitely be recommending you to others!! Absolutely inviting rocks!!!!”

The ceremony programs were ivory and incorporated the colors of fuchsia and orange in the monogram element and the ribbon. We also created seat signs for the bride and groom, table numbers, and place cards where the couple included hand written notes/keepsakes for the guests.

We loved the décor; it was absolutely breath taking. With this wedding it was definitely “all in the details”. See below for a sneak peek into their event:

"Tangerine Tango" Inspired Invitation by Absolutely Inviting

As promised in our recent blog post on Pantone's Color of the Year 2012, here is an invitation mock up we did using "Tangerine Tango". This color can be paired with muted/neutral colors such as Blacks, Browns, Creams, Grays etc. for a bold yet classic look (typical of winter and fall weddings), or it can be paired with festive colors such as Greens, Yellows, and Pinks for a fun and flirty look (think spring and summer weddings)!

For our sample, we decided to do a three layered square invite with a simple damask inspired graphic. Because we know how hard it is sometimes to visualize your completed invitation, when you order your invitations at Absolutely Inviting, you can receive a 'true to life' digital proof like this one prior to us finalizing a design for your invitation mock up!

Quick Share: Pantone Color of the Year 2012

Last year, we featured the Pantone color of the year which was honeysuckle shown below:

This year, we are delighted to see the bold and vibrant color "Tangerine Tango" as Pantone's 2012 Color of the Year. We have already seen this emerging as a popular color in some of the weddings we did in the latter part of 2011. The future looks extremely bright for this color!


Next month we will be featuring an international wedding we did in December using both of these colors. Until then stay tuned for a "tangerine tango" invitation sample we did ...we will be sharing it VERY SOON!

"The Bold and The Beautiful": Wedding Feature: March 2011

We were approached by this couple to design the "day of" stationery for their March wedding. The couple's wedding incorporated shades of fuchsia and orange (a very bold and absolutely beautiful color combination). We knew right away what style we would use for this bride, and she loved the way everything turned out.

This couple was ABSOLUTELY charming
Their event ABSOLUTELY beautiful
Their stationery - ABSOLUTELY INVITING!

Baby, Baby, Baby: Baby Shower Feature

We have been so busy with our clients' events recently that we have not posted in quite a while, so here is a quick post just to keep you up to date! We did these invites for a repeat client a couple months back, and we got good reviews on them! The host wanted an orange and pink color scheme to match the linens and other decor and here is what we did (we were so happy that the honoree loved the invite - we just love our repeat customers)

A Reason to Celebrate!!!

As you probably already know, Absolutely Inviting caters to celebrations of all kinds! Last month we were asked to do invitations for a private cocktail reception in honour of Mr. Kevin McKenzie, the 2010 recipient of the Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Association's Supervisor of the Year award!

Such a high honour required an elegant celebration (which of course meant that elegant stationery was needed in order to set the mood for the event). The client requested burnt orange/rust as the color, and we were given creative freedom. We did a three layer invite incorporating the client's request, adding bronze and cream elements. They loved the final product.

This gentleman was ABSOLUTELY deserving
His accomplishment was ABSOLUTELY commendable
The stationery - ABSOLUTELY INVITING!

Spring Ahead: Wedding Feature

We have been so busy designing, we have been a little delayed with design updates recently; however, as promised, here is our first wedding feature for the year!!!

Looks like Absolutely Inviting is becoming more and more popular for "off island events" as this wedding was held on the beautiful island of Exuma in the Bahamas. The clients opted for a envelope fold invite and of course the colors, which were fun and bright, were representative of the season. This colorful invite used shades of pink, orange, yellow, blue, and green between the papers, graphics, and text. The stationery suite included invitations and ceremony program. Enjoy!

Nicole & Keith - May 2009

We were approached by Nicole (daughter of former Deputy Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas - The Honourable Cynthia Pratt) and Keith to design their stationery suite for their wedding on May 22, 2009. They wanted a style that was simple yet elegant. This was achieved by combining their chosen colors - ivory, rust, and gold - with metallic, textured, and transparent papers and adding elements such as ribbons, rhinestones, and raised printing. Their suite consisted of a three layer invitation set with coordinating response cards, ceremony program, bookmarks, and table names/numbers.

Here's what the bride had to say:

I am so impressed by the professionalism, patience, organization and creativity of Dameeka Roberts. The invitations are absolutely breathtaking. I love, love, love them. The guests have done nothing but express how beautiful and unique the invitations are. This was the exact effect that I was looking for so I must say that I came to right place. I am now excited about the final products - the program and the bookmarks.

Thanks Again,

Nicole, A Satisfied Customer
