Introducing… Barcelona!
Barcelona - Tiffany Blue and Silver Silk Luxury Wedding Invitation
I’m so excited about the new invitation design that is going out this week! Heidi came to us wanting a really luxurious wedding invitation suite that would capture the glamorous and romantic look and feel of her upcoming wedding in Barcelona, Spain. At Carciofi Design we relish the chance to create truly luxury wedding invitations using sumptuous fabrics, colors and textures. The result is always unique and beautiful. Shown here is theinvitation in shades of silver, pale teal and tiffany blue. We created the hardcover three-panel gatefold using dupioni silk, satin ribbon and finished it off with a gorgeous Swarovski crystal buckle closure. I just love how all the personalized elements come together with the beautiful letterpress press printing. This is one invitation that is sure to be a show stopper!
My Fair Wedding – Redux!
Carciofi Design had the pleasure of designing stationery for two episodes of My Fair Wedding with David Tutera this season. Both shows were a lot of fun to work on. Working with David and his team is always great and they really do give you creative control to do your best. We first worked with David last season on the Minitruck Bride episode. This season we designed the printed materials for Tuscany Bride and Motown Bride. All three episodes are in rotation now on WeTV, so be sure and tune in and catch us!

I Do Bridal Show Flashback
We meant to put up this post weeks ago, but got sidetracked by birthdays, Thanksgiving and the WIND-POCALYPSE that we experienced here last week that left us without power for 3 days, but better late than never we always say!
Carciofi Design had a great time at the I Do Bridal Show, held November 20th at the Langham Pasadena. The show was packed and a great success despite the rain. We had the pleasure of showcasing our invitations to over 1000 brides. Click here for a video recap of the show (some amazing vendors!). Kudos to Fancy That Events for putting on a great show and to BGS Events for the beautiful video. Enjoy!
Real Wedding: Fall Glamour
This real wedding features our clients Tina and Paul and their fabulous Greek wedding that took place at the amazing St. Sophia Cathedral in downtown Los Angeles. This couple pulled out all the stops with a beautiful, traditional Greek Orthodox ceremony followed by a fun-filled, and incredibly designed, reception that had their guest’s jaws dropping (ours included)! Everything was done so elegantly and sparkled from top to bottom… from the enchanting Chanel inspired paper flower wall, to the incredible centerpieces (we’ve never seen so many beautiful flowers), the wonderful food and great music. Of course everything tied in with the glamorous invitations, programs, menus, escort cards and table cards we designed for them. It was a special treat to be invited as guests to this wedding and seeing their complete vision for their special day come together in such an amazing way!
