Love is Patient. Holly and Lee.

Holly and Lee are getting married this May, and we are busy working on her wedding invitations, rehearsal dinner invitation and ceremony programs. I met Holly through my mother-in-law. Small world...Holly and my MIL met while taking a class together and as they started to get to know one another, found out that their families are from the same small town in Indiana. When Holly got engaged and started talking about how hard it was to find the invitations she wanted, with a music theme, she got pointed in my direction. :)


Holly and Lee have waited patiently for each other... both longing for God to put someone in their life who was perfect and true. Two friends introduced them and the rest is history. They both have a love for music and a love for the Lord. Music and scripture are big parts of their wedding theme (Holly, a vocalist and Lee, a trumpet player). We incorporated those very specific themes into their invitations. First was the logo. After many discussions about the font and the incorporation of the trumpet and microphone, this was what Holly and Lee chose. You'll see how it is incorporated into the invitations next.

Holly and Lee's colors are Pool Blue, Black and White. Bright and sophisticated colors for a bright and sophisticated couple. We started off with the invitations - again, incorporating the music theme with the music staff, trumpet and microphone.

The invitation is mounted on pool blue card stock with a layer of white card stock and vellum, attached with a sheer black ribbon with a chevron end. You can see the treble clef, music staff, trumpet and microphone on the white layer show through the vellum. The response card also uses the treble clef and the logo is on the back of the outer envelope under the return address. We then turned our attention to rehearsal dinner invitations.

As we started talking about their guests, I suggested that we do a combo invitation so that guests invited to the rehearsal dinner would only need to send in one response card. We came up with a tri-fold invitation to include all the information these special guests needed.

The invitation is on the left, with the rehearsal dinner invitation in the pocket on the right, along with directions, a map with accommodation information and the response card. The logo was used as a clasp to keep the invitation closed.


We incorporated scripture in two different places: on the inner envelope and on the invitation. It reads:

...when they ask God's blessing on their union and His presence in their new life together...

and on the inner envelope...1 Corinthians 13:13: Love never fails...And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

These invitations are going out this week! So excited for Holly and Lee!
