Lauren + Dylan’s watercolor greenery wedding suite
Lauren + Dylan are just a couple of foodies in love, and their wedding at the Merrimon-Wynne house, planned by Gather Together, was based around their favorite restaurant in New York. I was inspired by the modern greenery they showed me in their inspiration photos and turned that into watercolor foliage that we brought throughout their suite.

Their invitation had an abstract watercolor background with delicate modern type overlaid. A background like this is tricky because you want to show movement and transparency with the watercolor, but you also need something solid enough that the overlaid type will be legible.

Because we wanted the invitation to be the standout piece, we kept the watercolor background contained to that and used greenery throughout the rest of the suite.

My favorite detail was the vellum belly band, tied together like a gift with a black cord, and held together with a wax seal.

This was slipped into their dark green outer envelope. I love a good colored envelope because you know as soon as you spot it in your mailbox that you’re receiving something special.

Lauren + Dylan’s wedding was beyond beautiful, and has been featured on BRIDES, as well as Carats and Cake - I felt so lucky to have been a part of it!
