Our Programs

It's been far too long without any ABCD goodness on this blog... please allow me to correct that!

Because we all know how much I love paper, I knew from the beginning that I wanted special programs. I found my inspiration via Martha. Take a look (if you can avert your eyes from the groom in seersucker, of course): Landscaped design, ribbon binding, small enough to slip into a suit jacket pocket or a clutch. Adorable!


Amy cooked up a few fun designs for us. Here's the one we chose:


We're working on the interior now, but I think once the insides are printed, I'll be binding them with these ribbons:


I always keep programs from weddings (this explains why I'm a packrat). But I love looking back at them over time and remembering the ceremony. I think these little beauties will definitely be keepsake material.

PS: I'll take photos of the real deals when we have them all assembled, and they will make my ever-expanding Detail Shots List for our photographer, too.

can't wait to see! the designs and the ribbon are great. my program ended up being about 12 pages long because i wrote stories about each attendant in the program and printed lyrics to one of the songs. i think ours was a keepsake, too-- at least it was to me! :)

and i keep wedding programs all the time too!

You know, seersucker ain't actually immoral. Except, like madras, its heritage is one of Anglo Saxon response to colonial heat and humidity. I personally am still quite fond of seersucker. From an aesthetic, rather than political, perspective.

As is Maggie, LPC, I assure you. Otherwise she probably wouldn't let me wear it on our wedding day ;-)
