A Montana Wedding

Prepare yourself — this one is a real stunner. Back in March of 2011 I was hired by Rachael, one of the sweetest clients I've ever had the pleasure to work with. She came to me with a rich color scheme of purples, greens, and blues, and a gorgeous invitation suite designed by none other than Rifle Paper Co. For the calligraphy, I mixed hues of gouache to match colors in the illustrations Rifle had done, and we ended up with hunter green envelope addresses and yellowy-sage place cards.

Just last month, Style Me Pretty published a three-part feature on Rachael & Justin's Montana wedding (here, here, and here). I suggest taking a look at the expanded image gallery to see more of the amazing taste and talent that came together to make this celebration so jaw-dropping.

The wedding is also featured in Style Me Pretty Weddings: Inspiration and Ideas for an Unforgettable Wedding, published last month by Clarkson Potter. This book is seriously beautiful so get a copy!

As a final touch, I created a logo of the couple's names that was printed in their wedding album.
