The Not Wedding is sort of what it sounds like- a big party (thrown by artists and wedding professionals) that’s not really a wedding! This show travels around hunting for each cities’ creative wedding vendors…and we got to play a part! Invitations, programs, menus, and food labels were all created by Emily O. Holmes Custom Paper Lovelies to match this “Wild & Free” themed celebration.

Follow this series of posts detailing our experience at this super inspiring event! 

The party was hosted at One at Cannery Row…a dreamy venue!

Delicate floral illustrations were sprinkled throughout this set of wedding paper products!

The menus highlighted sweet little love quotes from Pablo Picasso and a verse from Song of Solomon.

Food labels are a great way to tie in personalized paper products that coordinate with your invite!

Mailing “save the dates” (or other invites!) as postcards adds a charming, old-school touch to your event.

We adored this white calligraphy on kraft paper envelopes by Ginger English.

Find more photos of my work and the Not Wedding on Ruffled, Ashley’s Bride Guide, and (our favorite!) Grey Likes Weddings.

Be sure to check back tomorrow for our favorite take-aways from this event that you can include at your next party! Floral crowns, bowties, gold trophy cups…We can barely wait to show you!

And a big thanks to the photographers for their beautiful work at the event! (Photos 1-3 courtesy of Declare Photography & photos 4-12 courtesy of I Love You Too Wedding Photography.)
