 wedding cake display

for my wedding, rather than have a traditional stacked wedding cake, i designed several cakes to be displayed across a long table.  first, i made custom laser-cut acrylic "placemats"  that are either back-painted teal, green, or left clear.  next, i found varying heights of clear vases that i filled with silk flowers and pearls.  for the cakes themselves, i asked the bakery to make very clean simple cakes wrapped with ribbons of my choice and placed on a clear acrylic plate.  finally, i finished off the table with votive candles and fresh flowers.

lavender bridesmaids' earrings

to accent the dark purple bridesmaids' dresses in this wedding, i created a unique pair of earrings for each girl using a variety of lavender and purple swarovski crystals.  while each pair is different to match the personality of the attendant, together they read as a consistent set.
afternoon tea

i love the idea of getting inspiration from afternoon tea and macaroons.  here i've combined deep fuchsia with light pink and a cool lavender.  this theme is very romantic with the colors and choice of "White by Vera Wang" petal dress, yet kept modern with the use of clean centerpieces and chic Alfred Sung bridesmaid dresses.  as for the groom, nothing looks better with pink than a gray suit.
bridal jewelry

in addition to designing weddings themselves, i also make bridal jewelry for brides, bridesmaids, mothers of the bride/groom, and flower girls.  for emily, her husband marc planned to surprise her with this pearl necklace and wanted some earrings to match.  i worked with him on creating a this pair of classic pearl and swarovski crystal dangle earrings that fit the bride's look perfectly.

summer in bloom

this collage was created last year for my brother marc and his wife emily's wedding.  it took place in the heat of summer, so the yellow and blue color scheme was bright and refreshing.  for this wedding, i created the graphic design work including save the dates, invitations, rsvps, and ceremony programs.

this custom monogram was used on the invitations as well as stickers on the favor boxes that were filled with lemon drops.
