Hello All! I hope you didn't miss me too much. I admit it has been a while since I posted something. This summer has been very busy for me, with many events and travels, spending quality time with friends and family. I've gathered multiple projects that I have done during this time and would like to share them with you soon. They are in the pipeline for my future posts. :)
Let me begin with something that I am proud to show you with excitement. It is in-line with what I would like to branch into, WEDDINGS!
This particular project was very near & dear to my heart. I was to create the invitation ensemble for my cousin's wedding. I felt very fortunate to have the pleasure to create such a personal and special creation for her and her fiancee. Regardless of our distance from each other, my cousin, who lives in Maryland, and I, in California, worked closely via email to finalize every detail until the final moment. After she approved the layout, I had them printed and cut. I then packaged everything and sent them out to her so she can mail them out.
As you will see in the images of the ceremony program, it was a wedding filled with the beautiful elements of Ancient Persian culture. The description of the symbolic items on display have been clearly explained for the guests who may not be familiar with these traditions.
It truly was a wonderful experience to work with such a sweet couple and I hope they were happy with the final outcome.
