Mekina and Nick's Bluffton, South Carolina Wedding

July 11, 2022 Sarah Lewis

When you’re designing wedding invitations for an extremely talented wedding photographer, you know you have to create something really special and unique! Mekina of Mekina Saylor Photography had seen my work after photographing my client’s wedding stationery and I was so excited when she reached out to me for her own wedding stationery! Since she was getting married in Bluffton, South Carolina at Colleton River Club she wanted to keep things bright, airy, classic, and incorporate shades of blue throughout. She had also picked out some amazing chairs for the reception that had watercolor detailing in the design so the invites needed to coordinate with those. The couple also wanted to add a welcome card for their guests since it was a destination wedding for a lot of those attending, which I think is a beautiful and thoughtful touch! Add in a pretty floral wax seal in a pearlescent color that popped against the invites and they were ready for the mail!

Closer to the wedding date I also created their menus. While the usual go-to shape of menus is rectangular, we went with something more modern and instead opted for a square shape. Using the same paper, fonts, colors, and parts of the monogram, the menus coordinated perfectly with the invites as well as their stunning tablescape. The florals were absolutely breathtaking and tied everything together perfectly in the tent!

Another extremely exciting point about Mekina and Nick’s wedding was that it was featured in not one, but two major publications: Style Me Pretty and Carats & Cake! It was such a huge honor to officially have Slate + Brush invitations featured in both and I’m so incredibly grateful for it. I can’t wait to share more features soon!

Congrats to the newlyweds Mr. and Mrs. Pennetti - your wedding was perfection!
