Programs
I was originally going to launch right into our ceremony, but I almost forgot about our programs! These were one of my favorite projects for our wedding. Mostly because they weren’t necessary so if I screwed up then they didn’t need to get distributed. I wanted to do something simple but elegant, and a little different from the usual booklets with staples. I loved the Stardream Opal cover paper at Paper Source so I decided to use that for our programs (sorry, they don’t photograph very well).
I basically designed the pages of the program on two 8.5″ by 11″ canvases in Illustrator (one for each printing side). I placed a light grey vertical line down the middle of each canvas to separate the pages. After printing them out on a laserjet printer (a must for Stardream papers), I’d use a bone folder to make a neat crease along the grey vertical line. I’d then fold it down that crease, wrap a ribbon around the fold and tie it at the top. I think they turned out pretty well.
