tricia + bryan

I was very excited to work with this Tricia & Bryan after hearing about their bright color palette and gardenscape reception location. The couple lives in California, and the only chance I had to meet with Tricia {and planner, Aletha} was at their venue, the Laketown Golf & Conference Center in Saugatuck. I’m glad I made the drive because the location, even though a little secluded, was such a beautiful place for a reception! Seeing it also helped me visualize the details for the day of the wedding.

We created an invitation set with Tricia & Bryan’s 3 colors, using a ribbon double band and a swirl design (now featured as Paul in the Studio Collction, this same design was used on Libby & Paul’s stationery as well!). We also did table numbers, programs, escort cards, favor tags & Thank You notes to round out the ensemble.

One really great decision we made was to tone down the use of colors for her day of stationery. Tricia had decided to get table cloths in her palette, so she had green, pink and a slightly darker magenta colors on the tables. I suggested we do the escort cards and table numbers with a white shimmery backing paper instead of the green or pinks. I think this looked really elegant and did not clash with the table colors.

Aletha from Pearls Events did the planning for this event, helping Tricia find all the right colorful details (like those beautiful flowers from Stems Event Design and Julie Strating for her lovely makeup!)
