Wedding Invitations — Michael Fusco Design

I’m so glad that everyone loved Mike & Emma’s invitations as much as I did, but you may not know that they weren’t Mike’s first set of invitations. Mike is a talented graphic designer and runs an eponymous design studio called Michael Fusco Designs and I’m excited to share some of his other wedding invitation work with you today.

Happy Weekend!

Hi Everyone!  So, I’m going to try out a new feature – a weekly round-up of paper-related links.  I might make this a more frequent feature if folks find it useful, so please leave me a comment or send me an e-mail to let me know what you think.  Please also let me know if you see that I’ve missed something or have a link that you found useful.

First, I just want to send a huge “thank you!” to  Meg and Christine for their posts about Mike & Emma’s wedding invitations that I featured last week – and say a quick “welcome!” to any new readers who might have found me from A Practical Wedding or pretty.pretty.paper.

So, now to the round-up – here’s what was floating around this week:

That’s it for this week — have a great weekend!

Wedding Programs – Darling Dexter

I love, love the design that Whitney from Darling Dexter came up with for her wedding ceremony programs. You can just tell that Whitney thought about every detail – from the overlay of patterned paper as a cover to the baker's twine used to bind the pages together:

Whitney also incorporated the nest and other graphics from her invitations into the programs

I love the idea of incorporating quotes into wedding programs. In my own wedding, my husband and I recited poems in lieu of ring vows, and we included both those poems and our marriage vows in our programs.
