Mrs. Buttons's Picture
Mrs. Buttons, Clearwater, FL Age and Occupation: 24, "Working on it" Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28, Financial Services Engagement Date: June 13, 2009 Wedding Date: May 2010 Venue: Carlouel Yacht Club About Me: I'm a self proclaimed perfectionist and a professional nomad (seriously, I've lived in TX, WI, MI, FL, NC, and now VA!). I love wine, cooking, curling up with a good book (nerd alert!), spoiling the furbaby, and of course, the wonderful Mr. Buttons! We are planning a lighthearted and whimsical wedding (with a good deal of DIY projects) in Clearwater, Florida, but from a distance of 800 miles away! We are looking forward to sharing our day with our family and friends, and most importantly, starting our lives together as husband and wife!
About Mrs. Buttons

After the trials and tribulations I experience with assembling my Save the Dates, I wasn’t particularly excited about the impending doom that could be our invitations. There are so many beautiful options out there, and I was completely and utterly indecisive about what I wanted. Did I want beautiful, classic letterpress? Did I want fun colors and funky prints? What about taking the easy route and just using the pre-made ones at Michaels or Target? I couldn’t make up my mind.

And then, a little birdie told me about Mrs. Gloss’ new invitation design business, 4th & Folded. Do you remember her wedding invitations? Well, if you don’t, go check them out… here! They were absolutely gorgeous; a blend of tradition with modern patterns. I was hooked. After perusing the designs she offered, I fell in love with the “Graham” suite, with a few twists, of course! Remember the custom monograms that I commissioned?

I really wanted to incorporate one of them into the suite, and she was extremely gracious to accommodate my request! The monogram is featured not only on the invitation itself, but on our custom envelope liner… how cute!

So, my invitation suite consisted of:

  • Invitation (double sided)
  • RSVP card (also double sided)
  • Envelope liner
  • Wrap around address label for the RSVP envelope

I was so excited about how the suite turned out; we used a combination of leafy green, night blue, and white. I love that each of the pieces were different in regards to their colors/patterns, but were cohesive overall with the color combinations! They were unique and fun enough for our younger, hipper guests, yet classy enough to make our more traditional guests happy!

Oh, I’m guessing you want to see what these bad boys look like, don’t you? Well, here is a little sneak peek at how the design turned out:
