2009 Bride's Choice Award

noreply@blogger.com (Retrospective Design) — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 22:17:00 +0000

Hi everyone!
Yes it's been a very long time since I've blogged, but I promise to catch up soon. I've got a lot of fun, new projects to share.

Now to the exciting news. I just heard that I received a 2009 Bride's Choice Award from WeddingWire.com

Here's all the info.

WeddingWire, the nation’s leading wedding technology company, just announced that Retrospective Design has won the 2009 Bride’s Choice Awards™!

In its inaugural year, the Bride’s Choice Awards recognizes and honors vendors from the WeddingWire Network that demonstrate excellent quality of service, responsiveness, professionalism, value of cost and flexibility. This year’s recipients represent the top three percent of WeddingWire’s vendor community, which includes over 100,000 wedding vendors from across the US. That means Retrospective Design is one of the very best in invitations.

Unlike other awards in which winners are selected by the company, the Bride’s Choice Awards are determined exclusively by recent newlyweds through surveys and reviews.

“We are excited to launch this annual award program to honor high-performing vendors based solely on the experiences of our WeddingWire community,” according to Timothy Chi, WeddingWire’s Chief Executive Officer. “This year’s recipients have set the bar high, exhibiting excellent service and expertise in the wedding industry.”

Retrospective Design would like to thank our past clients for speaking on our behalf and helping us win the 2009 Bride’s Choice Award!

Nicole & Michael

noreply@blogger.com (Retrospective Design) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 20:47:00 +0000

A few months ago, I had the pleasure of designing Nicole & Michael's wedding invitations. Nicole asked for 2 monograms, one that she used for the aisle runner and one for a gobo at the reception. I don't often get to see the final products of my designs so I was really excited to see these photos by Adrienne Maples Photography.

Here are the monogram designs.

Here is the monogram that Nicole painted on the aisle runner. Great job, Nicole!

And here is the gobo they used at their reception.

A big thank you to Adrienne Maples Photography for these photos!
