Our Wedding Details

My fiance and I got hitched this June. Hooray!With limited time and energy between a job and freelance work, I focused on projects that I knew I could handle. I needed to avoid a total bridal meltdown! Some of those projects were our invite, our wedding favors (which also served as our table assignments), as well as signage for the event.

For our invitation, I illustrated the front, the inside map, as well as the assets used throughout the invite. My fiance worked on the inside typography and layout. We decided on a limited color palette of black and yellow to ensure a minimal use of ink. We printed the invitation suite on our own and wanted to avoid buying tons of ink cartridges. Plus the color palette kinda screamed "NYC" to me. Taxis, stoplights, black and white cookies, oh my!

BALBIERZ_WEDDING_WEB5 For the table assignments, it was important to me that they were both functional for the event, but also useful after the wedding. So, I decided on illustrating notepads that would have the table assignments written on them, but could also be used afterwards for list making or note taking. I had a lot of fun illustrating this whimsical NYC scene.

BALBIERZ_WEDDING_WEB To complete this favor, I bought some adorable pencils from Knot & Bow that were engraved with adorable food pairings. Mac & Cheese, Meat & Potatoes, Pancakes & Syrup!

And thank you for reading about our wedding details. I hope to share some photos from the wedding in the next few weeks. Take care!

Wedding Season

Before I left for Japan,  I completed a quick-turn-around job illustrating a sign for a wedding.Sam, the bride, was a previous co-worker of mine at American Eagle. I was so humbled when she asked me to illustrate something for her big day!

Sam was looking for an illustrated sign that would sit on the favor table and would tie back to their handmade granola favor. The granola recipe was her mother-in-law's, so Sam wanted to make sure her MIL was mentioned on the sign. I think it is a cute idea and gives a nod of appreciation to her new in-law.

Congratulations Sam and Nick!

It's the start of wedding season! If you have an idea for your wedding that includes illustration, I would be happy to bring it to life!

Type Practice

I've been enjoying drawing type lately.I bought a bunch of metallic pens at Kinokuniya last week and draw all over a huge black sheet and some colored envelopes. Check it out.

And hooray! Here is a sneak peek of the invites I designed for my sister & her fiance. More to show after the wedding!
