The couple sent along an image of the elegantly detailed monogram that had been created for their wedding stationery by Ice Cream Social. [site is no longer available]
Christine and Kenny didn't expect it to be recreated entirely in quilling, but they hoped I would be able to take inspiration from the design. The many flourishes lent themselves perfectly to paper filigree, and I was in my element while quilling scrollwork, initials, and individual details in the wedding's silver and sage green palette. My favorite metallic-edged paper from England added a bit of shine, such as the cherry atop each of the miniature ice cream cones.
Once again, I worked with Riva Brown of Wilmington, Delaware who did the beautiful calligraphy. She also drew nearly three hundred penciled lines where the bride, groom, and guests would place their signatures.
I appreciate the way Riva carefully mounts our collaborative certificates on core board covered with paper in a coordinating color. A flexible acrylic overlay rolls down from the top to protect the 22" x 30" certificate during shipment and allows it to be easily handled and displayed at the wedding and reception.
