Over the summer one of my dearest friends asked me to design an invitation for a bridal shower honoring her "soon-to-be" sister-in-law! How exciting! Although all of my projects are amazing to work on, I have to tell you, when you know the client, it is especially enjoyable. The shower was going to be held at The Cotton Row Restaurant in Huntsville, Alabama. From poking around on their website, I was immediately inspired. Their location boasted sleek and modern table settings with rustic, country charm. I decided on a "country chic' theme for the invitations and settle on using a traditional toile in hues of taupe while dressing it up and printing the invitation in this luxe design shape...here, is what we came up with....
Keeping with the spirit of true southern hospitality, a jar of strawberry jam was among the favors given to each guest in attendance. My friend decided to sit a jar, topped with a custom, hand-knitted topper, at each place setting for each guest. We created and attached a coordinating label to each jar, personalized with each guest's name, to act as a place card. Take a look at a couple of the pictures! I absolutely LOVE the way these turned out! Small baskets of homemade scones and fresh strawberries and cherries were also given to the guests, in hopes that they would be enjoyed with the strawberry jam!
