Oyster Shells & Wedding Details in Naples, FL

Thank you to the beautiful bride, Sophie, for this lovely review:
"El is a dream to work with!!!! She is so thoughtful and just an overall joy. We worked with her for our save the dates, invitations and all paper goods for wedding day and she made it all so so so stunning and our dreams come to life. I STRONGLY recommend working with El you will not regret it- she is the absolute best!!! Thank you for everything El!"

We had the pleasure of working with Sophie and Jonathon from Save the Dates right through all the wedding day details.  The bride reached out the summer before the big day was to happen, and was interested in ordering our Oyster Shell Calendar save the date-and added a gray cardstock backing.

We carried through the oyster shell theme with the Oyster with Sand Border invitation-and the most special detail...hand calligraphy on the guest envelopes.  Hand calligraphy is always a great addition to the wedding invitation. It's just a special detail that honors your guests. Sophie picked the most perfect pearlescent light blue cardstock backing for the invitation as well. We used our map of Naples, Florida as the envelope liner-and that added a real pop of color to the invitation suite.

There were a number of customizations for the wedding day that were unique to this beautiful Naples wedding! You can see those in the gallery above-and here are a few of my favorites highlighted here:

--The seating chart featured table names of all tropical and Florida themed items-including places from our Naples map, like Old Naples, The Pier, and Starfish.  Each of the table signs coordinated with those images from the seating chart. This semi-custom seating chart was so personal!  We also matted a large map of Naples to be used as a sign in board (a version of a guest book).

--Menus at each guest's seat, the welcome sign and cocktail napkins included a crest designed with shells, starfish, and other beach treasures encircling the couple's initials.

--On each welcome bag, there was a special tag with a mix of beach treasures and Welcome with the guest's names written in hand calligraphy. What a thoughtful and personal detail!

The attention to detail every step of the way through this wedding was truly a pleasure to put together for this sweet bride and her groom. Sophie and her Mom were wonderful and so responsive about all of my creative ideas.

This wedding is a great example of how we can use one of our existing map designs in a custom way, just for you.  Happy 1st Anniversary, Sophie and Jonathon!  You were a special part of our 2024. Wishing you a lifetime of love together.
