Dallas Soft Blue and Gold Wedding

We loved the blue and gold color combination for the beautiful, upscale Dallas wedding, These tones carried perfectly from the invitations to the day-of stationery details.

Amanda and Cole really showed us how elegant blue and gold can look for a wedding! From the bridesmaid’s dresses to the tablescape and place settings, blue and gold accented the entire wedding weekend like a dream! We couldn’t be more thrilled to add our special creative touch to her wedding suite and big day with the custom monogram we created for her wedding suite invitations!

Romantic Luxury Wedding at Downtown Austin

Leslie and Matt’s luxe wedding was one that we’ll never forget! So much attention to detail was put in to every aspect of this invitation suite and wedding design at the historic Driskill hotel.

Leslie and Matt’s wedding had all the natural beauty, charm, and inviting feel that belongs to the city of Austin! The breathtaking Driskill, where they celebrated, was filled with pink and white flowers giving a heavenly scent to the historic venue! It was all about the delicate and intricate, gorgeous details at this wedding!

Leslie made sure to note to new brides not to stress at the what can be an overwhelming task of wedding planning. With a strong team of creative members and planners behind her, this day was perfect! We helped make her wedding suite super personalized with a custom watercolor of the venue inside the envelope liner, as well as her cat Louie in their wedding crest! We love adding these fine art details that level up the work and also touch heartstrings!

Why Your Brand Needs Multiple Logos

Do I need more than one logo? A lot of brands and small businesses think they just need a single logo design. That’s actually not from the case! You should have at least one alternate logo design to pair with your main primary logo.

Now more than ever before we are posting, blogging, and creating content to get our brand name out there in the world. And now we have so many platforms to work with. Within social media alone there’s Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest (more of search engine, but still considered under the social media umbrella), Twitter, Tik Tok, and Snap Chat. Did I miss any? Then there’s your own marketing tools like your website, email signature, watermarks, and business cards, just to name a few.

So what are alternate logos? Alternate logos are similar to your primary logo, but have small changes. Chances are your main logo won't fit on every medium you need it for. For example, if your logo is a longer horizontal design, then that doesn’t really look great as a profile photo on Instagram. Since that profile photo size is round, it’ll shrink your horizontal logo down smaller to fit the width of the area so it’s harder for the viewer to see. So having another logo that is more stacked is perfect for uploading to that Instagram profile photo.

As mentioned, these logos are similar to your primary logo and should always be consistent to stay on brand. The small changes could be color (but staying within your branding color palette), layout, or content. Let’s take a look…

Primary Logo

This is our primary logo, or main logo. This logo is what is on our website. We also use it for our Mail Chimp newsletters we email to subscribers to our email club.

Secondary Logos

See how these secondary logos more stacked than our horizontal primary logo? We use these for our social media profiles and occasionally print marketing. These secondary logos can also be used for your website or email signature.

Submarks

Submarks are great to add to platforms where there is already brand recognition because they don’t spell out your full brand name. Your brand name should be somewhere else on that platform. For example, watermarks, social media profiles, favicon (the little icon you see by your website URL in your internet browser), and email signatures.

It’s very important to choose the right logo designer. Your brand designer should be knowledgeable, skilled, communicative, and have professional software. I know that may seem obvious, but I’ve had many clients come to us for a rebrand with their original logo not vector and their original designer didn’t have the knowledge or capability to create it vector. Yikes! Big red flag. Be weary of those cheap custom logos. Just remember, you get what you pay for unfortunately.

Some of our clients ask, what is vector? Good question! Simply put, vector is when your image can be blown up or shrunk down and the quality will not change. Vector files, such as pdfs, are needed for high quality printing, so having your logo design be vector is a necessity. What if your logo isn’t vector but you don’t want to pay for a new logo? No worries! When you find yourself in this situation, there are resources out there for you. Just ask any graphic designer or email us. There are more affordable resources out there, too such as Sticker Mule. They can actually vectorize an image​ quickly with Redraw for only $29!

All your logos should be presented to you in your brand style guide. More on style guides coming soon! I hope this was helpful for you and if you have any questions, please let us know!

Summer Vail Colorado Wedding

We’ll never forget the custom stationery we created for Karli and Matt’s romantic, minimalistic Vail wedding. We loved these soft, sweet invitations!

Karli and Matt had such an enchanting and classic yet minimalistic mountain wedding in Vail. This was as sweet and romantic as it gets. The pictures tell it all in all the intimate shots of the evening! DWeddings agrees just how beautiful this event was as they featured the Spangler’s wedding in their magazine! Everything was custom, from her custom made 20’s wedding dress by a designer from Isreal, to her stunning vintage wedding ring and band, down to the very romantic ripped edged paper wedding invitations. These invitations done by us at Pink Champagne Designs beautifully shows the soft and romantic blush in the envelope liners. The hand-drawn flowers were drawn by the bride’s grandfather who she is very close with, adding that personal and intimate touch to the invitations that all the guests enjoyed.

Thrilled that we got to create day-of stationery for Brooke and Matt’s colorful, fun downtown Austin wedding.

What happens when you plan a wedding with all the colors of the rainbow?? Magic! Brooke and Matt’s wedding day was filled with as much color as there was love for this couple! Bright hues of yellow, orange, and red were the inspiration for the stationery we created for their wedding day.

Free Guest List Template for Guest Addressing

Collecting guest’s addresses and organizing them for your invitations can be tedious. Download this free template we created to make it easer!

Organization is the key to having fun during your wedding planning. We’ve created an organized a spreadsheet for you to download for free in either Excel and Pages. This spreadsheet actually has three sheets for you:

1. Examples with notes on advice based traditional etiquette rules for both single and double envelopes

2. Single envelope addressing template with additional columns to organize before and after your mail you invitations, including relation, phone number, email, and more

3. Double envelope addressing template with additional columns to organize before and after your mail you invitations, including relation, phone number, email, and more

*Unsure if you have single or double envelopes? A single envelope is when you have one envelope that keeps your full invitation suite inside. Double envelopes is when you not only have the main envelope that keeps your full inside suite inside (now called an inner envelope), but then another envelope outside that inner envelope (called an outer envelope). You can find a video of outer and inner envelopes on how to mail your wedding invitations here.
