Designing Anna & Josh’s Perfect Blend of Disney and Elegance
Meeting couples and designing wedding invitations for them is always a special experience, but creating Anna and Josh’s was truly magical. Their love story began in the most enchanting place—Disney World—where they first met while working together. When they decided to tie the knot on October 24, 2022, at the stunning Old Edwards Inn in the Highlands of North Carolina, they knew they wanted their invitations to reflect both their Disney roots and the rustic elegance of the Highlands. The challenge? Infusing Disney elements in a way that felt sophisticated and timeless.
The Design Concept
Anna and Josh envisioned invitations that exuded a refined, woodsy charm with a touch of Disney magic. They were drawn to a color palette of deep greens and merlot, perfectly complementing the lush landscapes of the Highlands. To achieve their vision, I incorporated hand-illustrated Highland trees as the backdrop—an homage to their breathtaking venue—while subtly hiding Mickey silhouettes within the branches. This allowed them to bring in a beloved Disney detail without overwhelming the classic, elegant aesthetic.
Nicole heard everything we asked for and even the things we didn’t and made something perfectly matched to us.
Elevating the Details
To add depth and sophistication, I introduced a vellum overlay, giving the suite an airy, ethereal quality. Their custom monogram, featuring their initials intertwined in an elegant script, sat beautifully atop the vellum. Gold foil accents added a luxurious shimmer, highlighting key details like their names and wedding date. The final touch? A wax seal that sealed each envelope with a timeless, romantic flair.
A Dream Collaboration
Working with Anna and Josh was an absolute joy. Their excitement for the creative process was contagious—they truly embraced every step, from selecting fonts to choosing the perfect shade of merlot. Their love for each other was evident in every decision they made, and it was heartwarming to see their enthusiasm as the invitations came to life.
Their wedding invitations were more than just a piece of stationery—they were a reflection of their story, their love, and the beautiful journey they embarked on together. It was an honor to bring their vision to life, blending Disney magic with the charm of the Highlands in a way that felt uniquely theirs.
Congratulations again, Anna and Josh! Your love story is as magical as the invitations we created together.
If you’re dreaming up your own wedding invitations and want something personal, elevated, and full of meaning, I’d love to help you bring your vision to life! Let’s create something magical together.
