Normally, I would save this post for the following week but I just got these photos in my inbox from the wedding of Jeannie and John Lawlor, sister and brother-in-law of Michelle Beller at Mi Belle Inc. Photography, and I just had to post them immediately.

The bride and groom were married at the Parker Palm Springs — a fabulous hotel!

On this wedding I primarily worked with Michelle Beller, sis of the bride, on all the stationery items. I did talk to Jeannie as well, and these are two of the sweetest gals!

I could not resist posting this pic of all the bridesmaids’ shoes lined up in a row!

The groom's adorable pup Chauncy decorated all the tables in the form of Polaroid pictures.

For escort cards/favors, Michelle had us do large folding cards with each couple's name and table number, affixed to a lotto ticket. At the bottom of each we had pre-printed “Hope you get lucky tonight!” as a funny quip. The escort cards are lined by real pink gum balls.

Instead of the large chalk boards I've been doing, I suggested to Michelle that we print a huge 22×30″ sign to display the drinks and hors d'oeuvres in the design to match the escort cards, place cards and menus.

The table signs were smaller versions of the huge cocktail hour sign and sat on the table in 5×7″ tents.

Small menus were tucked into the napkins at each place setting. Placecards indicated where each guest was to be seated. We did the wording of the placecards in different colors according to the entree choice: pink for lobster, brown for steak, and green for veggie.

Congrats to the Lawlors! For more pictures, be sure to visit Mi Belle's Blog!
