Labor of Love Couple #2: LaTisha and Adrian

LaTisha Brunson and Adrian Smith

September 5, 2010

Little Rock, Arkansas

LaTisha Brunson and Adrian Smith approached me in March to create an invitation that would set the stage for their peacock themed wedding. Their dream wedding would reveal the colors of teal, purple, silver, green, while enhanced with peacock feathers.

At our first consultation, the couple presented me with two words SIMPLE and DIFFERENT. As we all know peacock feathers are a new wedding “FAD”, and Adrian insisted that the invitations did not replicate any of the “Peacock Invitations” that were on the internet and that real peacock feathers were incorporated in the invitations. Wanting to present the couple with an invitation that they would love and enjoy, I just had to wait on the new line of cardstock colors to be presented by Envelopments in the late spring. After much anticipation, I created……





A two layered teal and silver metallic invitation, with a gorgeous peacock feather tucked into a knotted green ribbon that surrounds the invitation. Travel directions and response information was also printed on the Dragonfly cardstock and information for the guest to RSVP on the couple’s website was printed on a metallic silver insert card. Each website RSVP card was personalized with the invitee’s name and RSVP login code.


**Just a side note*** The teal cardstock used is not your ordinary metallic paper. It was and of course is the famous Dragonfly by Envelopments. A shiny, metallic cardstock that has a fabulous silky appeal that enhances the dark teal color. This paper makes anyone in the stationery business….want to cry tears of joy! Finally a teal cardstock that is sophisticated, pretty and true to color! Okay, okay enough about the paper! Back to the invitation…..






Now one more “POP” of color to bring the whole look together…..dark purple envelopes! The envelopes precisely matched the font color of the bride and groom’s names on the invitation. This invitation reflects a wonderful couple who embraced a fantastic color pallet that reflects their BOLD love and passion for each other. Congratulations Adrian and LaTisha!




Until next week...... Designing Memories with Style, Tracy
