Bianca and Stuart's Stationery

Bianca and Stuart are one of my favourite's couples I've got the pleasure to work with; they got married last weekend at St. Cyprians Chapel in town and had their reception at the Vineyard Hotel in Newlands. 

Soon, I'll post some pictures of their beautiful wedding. But in the meantime here is a preview of the stationery I designed for them: menus, church order of service, table seating, souvenir tags, etc. 

I hope you like. ♥

Cedric and Kirsty's Modern Invites

Cedric and Kirsty got married a week ago. They both live in Francistown, Botswana but decided to tight the knot in Cape Town, Kirsty's home town. 

Many of their friends flew in specially for the wedding not only from different African countries but also from Dubai, United Kingdom, USA and Canada.

Mocho Loco designed the wedding invitations and stationery for their special day... 

These are the invites: clean and modern perfectly square cards in cream, gold and olive tones. The suit consisted on 3 cards (light cream, Ivory and gold) packed in a beautiful folder with the couple's monogram detail. This was then packed in an envelope same colour as the folder and middle card with the guests details printed on each envelope and sealed with a custom made sticker.

I hope you like! ♥

Nadia and Alastair Bohemian Elegant Wedding

A few months ago I posted the invitations I designed for Nadia and Al: here are some picture of their stationery and the beautiful wedding they had on 11 February 2012.

They got married under the trees at Towerbosch Earth Kitchen in Knorhoek, Stellenbosch: stunning venue! The theme for their wedding was bohemian elegance and the color palette they used was cream, purple, pink and cherry red.

Nadia's dress was designed by Robyn Roberts and the beautiful wedding photographs were taken by Madre Kohn. Mocho Loco designed the wedding stationery including order of service, wine labels and tree signature book. 

I hope you like!

Wishing Nadia and Al best of luck in their new life together as Mr. and Mrs. Coombe!!!

Sol and Luis Wedding

 

So as promised: here are some pictures from Sol and Luis's wedding in Punta del Este, Uruguay!

This must have been one of the coolest weddings ever: love and joy was all around! A real Argentinean wedding where formalities were left aside and it was all about sharing and having fun.

The wedding started at 5pm, and even though the ceremony that was prepared for the beach, had to be moved inside due to the rain and wind, I really could not have imagined it any better. Vale and Ezequiel, best friends of the groom and bride, married the couple. They had prepared everything very neatly and put so much effort into every detail. I've never before witnesses such a deep, emotional and rich ceremony, where tears and laughs were all shared.

The reception was held at La Huella, the couple's favorite beach restaurant and I must say, I understand why: the food was just amazing, crab and prawns would melt in your mouth like butter, risotto, like home made by a real Italian granny, pacific salmon and lamb as mains. And not to forget about the decadent chocolate wedding cake...mmmmmm

The party was the highlight of the evening, the pictures can tell. We partied and partied until 5h30am; bride and groom into the air; "rey momo" foam and the typical argentinean "carnaval carioca" couldn't not be there. I hope you enjoy the pics...

Sending all my love to Sol and Luis! Thank you guys for having us and wishing you the best in your new life together as Mr and Mrs Esrubilsky…

Take me to the Seaside Event

Yesterday I posted the invitations I did for 24.com (Media24). Here are some pictures of the decor for the event!!!

This was the first time I was given the opportunity to be not only in charge of designing the stationery for an event, but of doing the wholesome decor and styling of it. I must admit it was a great project and I enjoyed it so much that I'm looking forward to doing more of them. 

Flowers, jars, lanterns and even the hand-made napkins and table runners where all supplied by Mocho Loco...  

Of course, the drink and food menus together with the flop tags and all the signs were designed by Mocho Loco. 

But anyway, will let the pictures speak for themselves.

Wishing you a happy day!

Take me to the Seaside Invitations

24.com (Media 24) recently had their staff meeting. As last year they went through many changes, they decided to have their annual staff get-together only at the beginning of this year. They called me

to design their invitations and I couldn't say no to such a fun project. They not only asked me to do their invitations but to also work on the styling and decor of the whole event :)

The theme of the party was "Take me to the Seaside" as they booked lunch at The Grand, a beach restaurant in Granger Bay, a few steps from the Waterfront in Cape Town. 

These are the invitations I designed for the event. I hope you like them...

In the next few days will show you more details and pictures of the event itself

Mark and Jes Clean and Creative Invites

Mark and Jes dated for about 8 year before taking the next step. They are a great couple and they are definitely  meant to be together. He is an architect and she is an accountant. You can tell they like structure and order but at the same time they are really creative people. 

They got married mids of January in a little town in Western Cape called Arniston. Jes has been going there with her family on holidays since she was a little girl so this place has a real special meaning for her.

They asked me to make their invitations; they were looking for something clean, simple but edgy at the same time. I think this is spot on!

The color palette they used for the wedding was mainly green and white; for the invites, I decided to also include a little bit of grey. To play with design, we all worked together to decide on the final shape of the invitation. After many tests we decided to make invite and envelope all in one. Basically the envelope which is sealed with a sticker with the couple's monogram, opens to be the invitation itself. A die cut of the couple silhouette pops up on the top of the card and the information and details are distributed through-out the inside of the envelope.

To finish this design and make the invite a bit more interactive, a little note with a magnet was included. Guests were encourage to stick the magnet on any part of the invitation and transform it into a fridge magnet. Cool, don't you think?

If you like this invite, wait until you see their stationery... Stay tuned for pictures of their wedding coming soon. ♥♥♥
