Paradise is...

Just finished up an invitation order for a couple getting married this summer. Based on the photos that the bride showed me of their rental house in Kailua, the ceremony site will have a SPECTACULAR, unobstructed view of the Mokulua Islands off Lanikai Beach. It's the kind of scene that, even when viewed on an iPhone, makes you want to crawl into the screen and dip your toes in the water.

Because the Mokulua Islands will be making a cameo appearance at the wedding, the bride asked if we could incorporate them into my Palm Trees invitation design. She designed the graphic for the islands (complete with rising sun, birds and waves), and we completed it with layers of taupe and chocolate brown cardstock, and a couple of Swarovski crystals.

It was a fun collaboration and the perfect "teaser" for their beautiful oceanfront wedding!
