Good Monday Morning, Friends! We are back from a wedding weekend in San Diego (gorgeous!) and excited to share another Stamped Celebration with you, this time featuring Catherine and Ben’s gorgeous southern summer brunch wedding. The first time I met Catherine and Ben, I was struck by their sincere southern charm. Catherine is a true southern belle, in the best version of that, with a warm, inviting house, kitchen exuding homemade fragrance, and even a sweet accent to boot. I knew she and Ben would have a down-to-earth and classy, heart-warming wedding. When they mentioned they were having a morning ceremony and a creative brunch menu to follow, I knew this would stand out, just like this fun couple. One of my favorite parts of creating the paper goods for Catherine and Ben’s wedding was working with a dear family friend of Catherine, Wanda Hanszen. Wanda calligraphied her daughter’s wedding invitations years ago, and Catherine knew as a young girl she’d always want Wanda to write out her own invitation. Wanda lives in Catherine’s hometown of Carthage, Texas, where I swear, everyone is related to Paula Deen in sweetness and sugar. We started with a save the date using coral and cream with hints of navy to pick up on the colors from their adorable engagement photos.

Check out their entire shoot here from ee photography. (Quick aside: Erin Woolsey is a great photographer! She has loads of great engagement shoots featuring unique locations and lots of cute sessions with couples holding various signs. We love those for engagement shoots!) The save the date featured some of Wanda’s unique handwriting, which we then used fully on the invitation suite, which we letterpressed in a warm grey on heavy lettra paper.

Catherine and Ben’s program utilized more of Wanda’s handwriting and was accented with a coral ribbon. We jazzed up the festivities with coral straws (love) and some custom napkins in gold, cream, and coral using C+B’s new monogram.

We just adore the color palette, Catherine’s dress, Ben’s loving gaze, and all of the soft details. We love the creative menu from The Mansion on Turtle Creek. Branching Out created the amazing floral design. Paige Chenault Events pulled it all together flawlessly.

Check out the flowers and design of the guestbook table. To die for, right?!   We adored working with Catherine and Ben (and Catherine’s cat-loving mama as well) and are thrilled to be creating some holiday greetings for them, too. It’s just the beginning! Check out the rest of the gorgeous photos here.

Cheers! SPC
