Will You Be My Bridesmaid?

We are so excited to share this fun project we just completed for one of our favorite customers whose daughter recently got engaged.

The bride was looking for a creative twist on the standard “Will you be my bridesmaid?” cards. Together we came up with the idea to create sets of paper dolls representing each of the bridesmaids.

Her colors are orange and navy blue, so we decided to “dress” the dolls in the fabulous Oxford gift wrap sheets from Smock. Then, we had our favorite Charlotte calligrapher Grace Edmands pen each of the girls’ names in orange ink. We printed the invitation on a 5×7 card in navy and orange inks, featuring a poem created by the bride.

Our original inspiration was from this OnceWed blog post by Anna Bond of Rifle Paper Co.
