Save the Dates.. Finally

As promised our ... Save the Dates. We decided to go with our black and white kiss on the bridge. Our goal was to create a unique Save the Date that was :

1. Simple - not too much stress to create, assemble, or mail
2. Cheap- there was little to no budget for this project
3. Introduced our family and friends to the mood and style of our wedding- romantic Old New York

We decided the easiest way to keep it simple and keep prices low would be to go the postcard route. While I swooned over envelopes like these:




They were simply not in the budget. In the end it was for the best because life has been totally hectic these days so simplicity is best. We wanted the cards to resemble vintage postcards of the Brooklyn Bridge so we used photoshop to tweak the color a fit. The final print came out great and really captured the feel of what we were looking for.




Actually- the color is off for some reason here- but it looks really cool I swear. For the back we wet with a really simple message and design:


We love them. There are easy, affordable, and really capture the feel of our wedding.

E-Pics

As promised I will reveal out STD options. But first a little background. Shortly after our engagement I began to look at photographers for engagement photos. I wasn't even sure what people did with engagement photos, I just knew I wanted them. On a whim I searched craigslist and stumbled upon a fortuitous posting.A photographer looking to expand her portfolio was looking for a fun-loving couple to photograph for FREE. I replied immediately and figure best case scenario we would have great pictures, worse case scenario we would get a dress rehearsal for our engagement pictures. Turns out it was the best case. We were lucky enough to work with lovely Amber Knowles. On one lovely April day we got up super early headed over to ...where else.. the Brooklyn Bridge. I decided I didn't want to be too dressed up so I went with a simple yellow Jcrew dress and blue cardigan. I let the fiance choose his own attire but told him to pick a blue shirt. Overall I was pretty happy with our look. So without further ado... a sample of our E-pics.















Thanks again to the wonderful Amber Knowles. One of these lovely photos has become our Save the Date. Any guesses?
