At Blush & Whim, we take Event Design seriously. With an emphasis on all things stylish and pretty, our Event Design Package is definitely one of our most popular packages and truly a service that all brides and grooms can benefit from.
Our Event Design Package starts off with an in depth design meeting to review Pinterest, blog and magazine inspiration to discuss all the color, texture, pattern and image inspiration you have been daydreaming about and drooling over since saying YES to forever with the man or woman of your dreams. Our first design meeting also focuses on set budgets for floral, rental, lighting and paper design so we can ensure that your vision centers around a design direction that you can actually afford. From here, we create a design packet to communicate color palette, font direction, pattern and font accents, sketches and image inspiration from Pinterest and vendor work. Once the design packet is tweaked to perfection based on your preferences, we finalize your design and send along a fabulous list of vendor recommendations specializing in floral, rental, lighting and paper design. Not only do we recommend and look for innovative and stylish vendors to help bring your visions to life, we are also send our brides and grooms to vendors who can create unique, high quality work no matter what the budget may be.
Today we are so excited to introduce you to a vendor we are thrilled to be working with on all your save the date, wedding invitation and day-of wedding paper needs- Basic Invite! Paper Design is hands down the most important area of event design when planning your wedding. Your Save The Dates will be the very first piece of your wedding that guests will receive and you want to ensure you make a great first impression and a stylish splash with wedding colors, fonts, textures and pattern.
Basic Invite makes event design a snap with customization available at every step of the way. Here are some of the ways Basic Invite sets themselves apart in the paper design world (and why we love their products so much!):
Unlimited Colors Basic Invite is one of the few websites that allows customers almost unlimited color options with instant previews online. Once you select a design you can change the color of each element on the card to over 180 different color options. How amazing is that? This allows you to make sure the card is exactly how you want it - down to the littlest detail. This is definitely a HUGE piece of what sets them apart from almost any other online stationery company on the market and is hands down one of their biggest draws.
Envelope Colors Basic Invite is just as colorful with their envelopes as they are with their invitations. Brides and grooms can choose from over 40 different colors when it comes to their envelopes so that they can make their invitation stand out even before it is opened. All of the Basic Invite envelopes are peel and seal so the envelopes can be quickly and securely closed- no need to wrestle with a glue stick or lick all of those shut!
Font Selection Basic Invite strives to ensure that their brides and grooms can create a card as unique as they are. They’ve hand-picked over 100 different font styles to make sure your card is uniquely yours. Switch to any font in their library on any design.
Foiling Basic Invite is excited to announce the addition of gold and silver foiling to their formal invitation suite designs! Foiling is the perfect way to give your wedding day paper that extra flair.
