Bridal Show

04.26.2012

sorry for my absence lately! busy busy and everything seems to be moving non-stop. i was part of a bridal show this past weekend at the Hilton in Mystic as a wedding stationery vendor. excited to start working on invites for some new couples. the process is so fun, but i especially love the beginning getting to know the couple and learning the flavor and essence of their dream wedding.

i was torn about the best way to show all my work in a little tiny space besides an album which I did for my first show. i wanted to do something that would draw people in and i always had this vision of displaying everything on a birdcage. the daisy fabric gave it a backyard/garden look. I also had a white mailbox but couldn’t fit it on the table : ( next time. captured a few pics on instagram.

so excited about my new letterpress business cards with zebra print backside.

William & Julie Celtic Knot Wedding Invitations

12.31.2011

i think one of my favorite things to design are wedding invitations. i love to the challenge of representing the couple and the occasion on paper to share with all their loved ones. william & julie wanted to have a classic and sophisticated look & feel that integrated the celtic knot with their wedding colors red, black & cream. we fell in love with a felt cream paper and the rest was history. i loved every minute of it. now time to celebrate.

Happy Holidays

12.24.2011

It seems fitting to end the year sharing my holiday card sets I designed for the art+gift show at the Hygienic Art Galleries in New London, CT. Every year in the past I designed a calendar, but this year I wanted to do something different, so I switched it up and did three different card sets: Holiday series, Peace Love &…., as well as the Animal series. My Animal series sold out but they will be for ready and for sale in my Etsy shop in the New Year : ) Yay 2012!

Hope you have a safe and happy holiday!! xo

Not only do we all have a lot of fun working at Julia Balfour LLC, we create amazing work for some really great clients. One of our clients is Chamard Vineyard, the 20-acre vineyard in Clinton, CT. This is poster I designed for a recent event that took place there this fall. We all loved how it came out and most importantly the client loved it! When coming up with ideas for the holiday direct mail piece we took the same concept and spruced it up with some holiday elements. Ohhh and we just launched the new website for the vineyard too! It is gorgeous! Currently we are in process for redesigning the wine labels. What a job, right?

 

You can check out some more work we have done at Charmard on our Google+ page.
