Carolina Grove Styled Shoot
There is a gorgeous new venue in the Triangle area and I think you are going to love it! Carolina Grove recently opened up in Hillsborough, North Carolina and in their words it is a “classic barn elevated with modern style” and if that isn’t my kind of place then I don’t know what is! I love all things that are classic with a modern touch, so I was honored when Amy from Plume Events asked me to create stationery and signage for a beautiful styled shoot to showcase this new and absolutely fabulous venue!
For the stationery design we opted for blues and creams for a soft, romantic vibe. For the invitation suite specifically, I incorporated a lot of deckled edges and a details card on blue handmade paper for texture and a feminine feel. One of my favorite touches was an oval monogram card with deckled edges that we included to top of the suite - and of course a silk ribbon to hold it all together!
For the menu that was placed at each place setting, I used a medium blue color for the font with a light gray faded floral illustration in the top left on deckled edge paper. The program was of similar design as well. We did large signs for both the welcome sign and the bar sign that was hanging from the rafters. The bar sign was so much fun to create - a light blue background with dark blue lettering and a large gray floral illustration in the top left. For the welcome sign I did a light beige background with blue lettering that incorporated the wedding monogram.
For the escort cards I wanted to incorporate more texture, so the base was a light blue square with a white deckled edge card with name and table information secured to the backing with a gold floral wax seal. Atop the bar with greenery they looked incredible! I went with a similar design for the table numbers - large light beige squares with white deckled edge cards with the table number and floral illustration. I incorporated so much fun texture into this design for a romantic and feminine feel, and I am very much a fan! Now on to the gorgeous photos by Becca Rizzo Photography!
