Mrs. Locket's Picture
Mrs. Locket, Ithaca, NY Age and Occupation: 25, Research Technician Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28, former Banker hoping to become an Officer of the Law Engagement Date: June 15, 2009 Wedding Date: September 2010 Venue: Heron Hill Winery About Me: I am a little bit of everything all rolled into one: A girly gal with rough edges---I love to get dolled up just as much as I enjoy throwing on some sneaks to toss a ball with Mr. Locket. My love for crafting and creating is quite apparent and I've been referred to as a Wonder Woman/Martha Stewart/Stepford Wife hybrid (yup, I'll take that as a compliment). I adore sewing, photography, sculpture, good eats (mmm tapas), baking, snugging and oh, pretty much everything in between (there's not much I dislike). I am super excited to be planning our vineyard wedding and couldn't be happier to be marrying Mr. Locket. We are a quirky, fun-loving couple residing in our college town with our two pups Maple and Molly. We love to go on hikes, visit our local dog park and to bask in the beauty of many of the local falls and gorges. We are an indecisive pair, but together we somehow manage to make up our minds (it's the easy stuff that's tricky).

Unlocked: The Lockets' Invitations Revealed :  wedding diy invitations ithaca stationery Locket1 locket1

Now that they’re off in the mail and our guests are finally starting to receive my li’l pretties, I can finally show off the final product!

When our guests open their mailboxes, they will be greeted by a pretty metallic Ruby envelope hand- addressed in shiny gold ink:

Upon opening this pretty envelope, they will see our invitation suite wrapped up in pretty ribbon and sealed with a “G”.

And, of course they will set it down, note the pretty lace liner, and photograph it like it’s a high-end model…

And, lastly here is a final picture of the Locket’s invitation suite all spread out in its entirety.

It was such a great sense of relief to finally have these finished, and with all said and done, I am glad I changed up the design. I think they have a nice vintage flair and hand-drawn authenticity to them and am happy I was able to incorporate our colors of plum, gold, and ivory into the mix. What do you think? How is that for compromise?

Beautiful! They sort of remind me of Pug’s invites.. which I know is weird since her’s were Artichoke’s not flowers. Either way.. I love them.
