Inspiration – Starfish
Posted by Amanda on August 2nd, 2009
My friend Erin is getting married next July and she asked me to help her on her invitations and Save-the-date cards. Well I guess it was half her asking half me volunteering.
She is going for a beach-themed wedding but I decided I wouldn’t take it too literal because I find that when things are too literal they can become tacky. She is going with the slate/steel blue color scheme which is beautiful. I also decided to work starfish and sand dollars in to my design to keep with the subtle beach theme. These will also lend nicely to the decor at the reception.

During my initial search for inspiration I came across the pendant above and had a lightbulb go off. This is the piece that led me to finish the outside the way that I did. The invitations are still very much in the works but with Erin’s permissions, here are a few shots of the initial design to give you an idea of where the theme is going.
I love designing!
