Yesterday I debuted Joo and Jacob's California wedding. And as promised, I've got some fun sketches from their stationer and event designer to share today.
Joo gave Erin, of The Indigo Bunting, some photos of herself and Jacob, the venue and its greenery, and some inspiration. This helped Erin with the designs. In this gallery you can see Erin's sketchbook, some very rough sketches of the preliminary design options, and all the final pieces.

3 More of Erin's sketchbook, with more location shots and a photo of the couple.
4 An option for the front of the invite, inspired by the plants and the signs of the Smog Shoppe.
5 A second option for the front of the invite.
6 A sketch of the back of the invite.
7 The actual front side. Joo sent Erin information about how she and Jacob would be dressed on the wedding day, so the illustration would be accurate.
8 All of the pieces.
9 The back of the invite.
10 Here you can see both sides of the invitation together.

Joo and Kelly (from Yes, Please Design) initially started chatting about a dessert bar, because in addition to being an event designer, Kelly also makes cute (and yummy) cupcakes. Here are some of Kelly's sketches of the dessert/candy bar, photobooth backdrop, table numbers, escort cards, and pom pom toss.
1 A preliminary sketch of the sweets bar setup.
2 A later sketch of the sweets bar setup, including the fabric swatches that would go behind the table.
3 A sketch of the scallops of fabrics that would overlap to create the photobooth backdrop.
4 A sketch of Kelly's idea for the table numbers, with the wood showing through in the cut outs of each number.
5 Kelly took a photo of the Smog Shoppe's interior wall and drew over it to show how the escort cards would be displayed.
6 A sketch of the pom poms Joo made for the guests to toss as Joo and Jacob walked back up the aisle.
