i luv…wedding branding

13 11 2009

I luv wedding branding. We normally think of branding as a clever technique used by Fortune 500 companies to make their products memorable, recognizable, and sellable (is that a word?). So why not brand your wedding? I’m talking from invitation to map to programs to favors. I have been thinking about a retro-themed wedding inspired by the good old-fashioned telegram. Be inspired.

#11 i luv…monogrammed vintage pages

21 10 2009

I luv monogrammed vintage pages. I bought 3 pages that were painted with an “A”, “C”, and “H” today at Rock and Shop Market. The pages were vintage Trigonometry and Sheet Music pages. The subject matter describes Mr. Cherriz and I. I’m a math brat and he’ s a classical music lover. Planning to display these at the reception. I love the lil details. You can buy 100 vintage pages for $5. The DIY possibilities are limitless!

I luv these old school wedding pix. The style is bananas. Let’s take notes, divas!

1. Gloves: Wearing gloves back in the day was the calling card of a classy lady. The ‘open’ glove in the top picture is very chic.  I could see them being worn today.

2. Corsage: We don’t see that very often now but believe it could add a nice touch to a simple reception dress.

3. Veil: I luv the veil on the bottom pic. It is very flashy but still very elegant. It’s just sitting up there but she looks fabulous and knows it.

4. Groom’s Hat: I luv a man that can wear a mean hat.

For a vintage inspired wedding, I would find pix like these from each of the two families (bride’s and groom’s parents, grandparents, etc.) and post on each table. Next, surround the pix with florals and votives, then finish the look with a table number (vintage font is a must).  As an alternative look, you can also place the pix on an accent table then put the current bride and groom’s pic in the center. It would be like a family legacy or heritage inspired theme. Simply beautiful.
