A few months back my friends and I were talking about how we all like watching wedding videos of people we don't know. Call it creepy (maybe even bordering voyeuristic?) but it makes us cry all the time. Our favourites are those by Bob Nicolas & Jason Magbanua. For amazing (almost magazine editorial-like) wedding photos, Mangored just may be the best I've seen so far. Have you noticed that all of my faves are in the Philippines? I'm pretty sure I want to go back home to get married.
I stumbled upon this awesome site, For Print Only that is probably every graphic designer's dream. Heck, even as a normal human being (yes artistic & creative people are a notch above us simple Homo sapiens) this site is my dream. I wish I were more creative!
I saw these inspiring wedding invitations that I am re-posting for future reference. Who says wedding invitations have to stick to the gold & white, cursive, parchment paper and ribbon theme? I want mine to extra fun.
This invitation feels like a Mexican restaurant menu and now I want to head over to Tequila Sunrise for some sangria.
Oh wow! Talk about colour & fun! I can only imagine how fun this couple is in real life. It's almost like receiving a little art book. Those little packets on the bottom left are wildflower seeds with instructions to be planted 'to celebrate the beauty of this day'. Are you crying yet?
This was taken from an actual drawing on a whiteboard. The whole invitation is hand rendered & based on nicknames they have for each other (Firefly and bumble bee). Too sweet!
Calling all ICAns & Xaverians, this goes to show that even if you're Chinese it doesn't mean your wedding invitations have to be red and gold (resembling an ang pao envelope). The chicken and the pig stand for the couple's astrological signs and the favours are kitchen magnets with those respective animals. And no red or gold anywhere! Hen hao!
Oh my, this just may be my favourite of the bunch.This invitation/programme reads like a diner menu complete with diagrams, trivia (couple's favourite beer, history of venue), a prize ribbon and the best lay-out ever. Seriously, please click the link. You won't regret it.
Coffee and books = match made in heaven. Equally divine is this pairing of Ryan (coffee shop manager) & Jeshurun (design student) who used burlap coffee bags from Ryan's coffee shop to hold the buttons that feature her designs. The books (in the silhouette of a wedding cake) were her own doing as well. The Save the Date bookmark is an exceptional touch.
Good lord, a seafood (crawfish to be exact) wedding shower? Yes please! This makes me want to go down south and get married there! The bits about how the couples met are really heart-warming.
It reads like a welcome booklet of some sort, which is really adorable.
Ahh, stamps! I love this, I really do. Will definitely incorporate stamps in my wedding materials.
