Wedding INVITE design

I designed my own wedding invites with a Vatican and Roman theme. Wedding planning is ridiculously expensive and full of a million ridiculous decision-making opportunities that you would never think you'd have to make: chair covers or bows, hair up or down, DJ or band? This list goes on.... Beyond the stress involved in planning a wedding, luckily I am knowledgeable in the printing process and so creating this design allowed me alleviate this particular stress.

Amazing Vatican square!!

Rome is by far one of my MOST favorite cities in the world. Granted I have not been everywhere, but during every single visit this city manages to keep me engaged and amazed!

The image below is from my wedding reception. It's a closeup view of a display that contains a collection of 'fake' Polaroids pictures. My fiancé (now husband) proposed to me here in Rome (in front of the Vatican actually) and so I decided to run with this theme and use the 'essence' of Rome for my reception decor. The "Polaroids" document our journey from that day. There is a certain magic here that is only matched by the beauty, art and design of this great city.

Simply breathtaking.
