programs...get your programs ♥

one of my favorite things about our wedding was being able to do all of the design work.  we were able to have so much fun with it and make it exactly the way we wanted without having to worry about stepping on anyones toes.  today i will share with you the design i created for our programs...i promise to share the save the dates and invitations soon!


here is the front of the program...are you sick of seeing this picture yet?  needless to say it was one of our favorites and thought it was perfect with the dave matthews quote :)


and here is the back!  my favorite part of our ceremony was the reading of dr. seuss "oh, the places you'll go!" and the memorial butterfly release (pictures of this coming soon as well).  we printed these on metallic cream paper...it looked so pretty.  i will take actual pictures of the programs soon.  we really embraced our vintage circus/carnival theme...it was so much fun!!

on a side note...i discovered a new blogger friend today rach with a pretty little space ♥ (go send her some love!!) and instantly fell in love with her recent post.  have any of you read water for elephants?  i am going to be purchasing this book tonight (as well as a few others that you all recommended on my other post a few weeks ago!)  once i set eyes on the movie trailer (about 5 minutes ago) i called matthew and said "we're going to barnes & noble tonight so i can buy this book!"


does this not look magical?  and hello the setting is a vintage circus...best thing ever!!!

  12. It's a good thing I have the day off work, because I have spent much of my morning reading through your previous posts and being filled with gratitude for having found your blog. I know this sounds strange and almost stalkerish, but YOU are exactly what I need right now (I'm harmless, I swear); your positivity and desire for good is infectious. Thank you. xoxo.

    P.S. Is it possible for you to email me instructions on how to make a blog button? I'm totally inept at things like this, but I wanna play along!

  22. A friend of mine designed her entire wedding stock in our graphic design class. They turned out lovely. Just like yours.

    Also, my cousins had a butterfly release. It was gorgeous.

  23. I can't wait to see more pictures from your wedding! These programs are just too fabulous! I try to keep as many as possible from the weddings I work. I have them all in a scrapbook. I just find printings so lovely. As for that movie trailer, I think I've just watched it 4 times. I found this spectacular goodie that Justin just bought me for Christmas. I can't wait to photograph it and show you because I know out of all my blogfriends, you'll love it probably the most. It's to die for :D
    Love to you darling!

  24. beautiful programs! I plan to make my own things as well because its so difficult telling someone else what you want and having them create something you don't want.
