The Programs

As an artist, Kirsten had been looking forward to making her own wedding invitations for years. This was one of my favorite parts of preparing for the wedding, she says. She chose burnt-orange card stock and deep red papers to complete the seasonal look, along with a hand-drawn map of Des Moines. The papers were held together with a striped paper belt in various warm colors. The ceremony programs, also made by the bride, used the same color papers and unfolded to reveal a small accordion of ivory paper with all the pertinent information.
