Your vote counts!

2008 4 the Best Nominated: Best Invitations in Detroit

Last year, I had the fortune of being nominated by one of my past brides for WDIV Channel 4's "4 The Best" Contest. I was flattered by the gesture, and thrilled that I came in third place! I am so grateful to have the opportunity to work with such wonderful clients, I truly owe the success of my business to the brides that not only purchase my designs but refer me to their friends, family, and co-workers!

I have been nominated again this year, and need your vote! Please click on the link below, and thank you for all your support! I wouldn't be here without you!

Adding a Diagram to your Seating Chart



Barb's seating chart just goes to show the possibilities are endless. Barb had a small, initimate wedding ceremony with close friends and family. They did not want to label their tables with numbers, but opted to use different types of wine to name their tables. The issue that arises with using names in lieu of numbers is your guests may have difficultly finding their table since they are not in a "sequential order"! I was able to design a diagram showing the guest the layout of the recpetion area based on a rough sketch that was provided and still list all of the guests' names without making them hard to read. Besides a floor layout, a photograph, menu, or graphic could easily be designed into the seating chart!

Lauren's Seating Chart


Lauren's invitations had a very modern flair, with a fun circular graphic in shades of grey to match her graphite pocketfolds. For her seating chart, I blew up the graphic and broke up the pattern so that it tied into her theme but was not a duplicate of her invitation ensemble. I also created programs, table numbers with donation information, bathroom signs, thank you notes, and a wish bowl sign to tie all her reception pieces together! Check back later and I'll post the other pieces once I've had a chance to photograph them and upload the images!
