The shower is tonight at church and is extra special because both the bride & groom are church members and come from very involved families. A match truly made in heaven, PTL! The wedding colors are Black & White with a touch of Hot Pink! I just love to use the wedding colors in my gift wrap and cards, and had extra fun playing with it because our couple is a bit "modern" in their style (unusual, but perfectly fine in our church). The bonus is that this color scheme fits nicely with the Challenge at the Some Odd Girl Blog: white (or kraft) with two pops of color. So fun!
Our bride Sarah is a true beauty, with rich dark tresses and beautiful warm skin, so I did my best to color "Bride Mae" to look like her. (Feedback from my mom *without prompting* was, "Oh, it looks just like her!" Yes!) I paired her up with these gorgeous Echo Park papers from the "Be Mine" 12x12 collection. I kept the layout simple to let the color tell the story. The sentiment is computer generated (note to self: stock up on wedding & baby sentiments), and die cut with two little crystals for a touch of bling. What is hard to see in pictures but super yummy in person (IMHO) is the organza ribbon. I used a glossy cardstock base to give it a special feel.
Thanks for stopping by! I'll have another bridal shower card for you soon, since wedding bells are ringing again this year at the office. ((((HUGS))))

Catherine! Your beauty shines out in all you do. This post and card are BEAUTIFUL!!! What a sweet and fun and GORGEOUS card for a new bride. She is sure to LOVE everything about it. The color scheme will make for a gorgeous ceremony. Elegant with a pop of fun and happiness in that bold bright pink.
I can imagine how beautiful the glossy card and ribbon are together. You are right, the camera never catches those special touches the way it should.
HUGS And lots of smiles.
