Cincinnati Wedding Stationery: The McVey/O'Keefe Wedding

Meg and Kevin have a wonderfully classic and sophisticated taste. Their March destination wedding weekend in Pinehurst, North Carolina included a welcome barbeque, croquet and bocce ball tournament, a golf tournament, rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony, reception, and farewell brunch.

To celebrate their love of wine, Meg and Kevin held a rustic, Tuscan-inspired rehearsal dinner for all of their guests. They incorporated red, gold and chocolate in their family-style dinner. They included personal details, such as having their guests sign a wine barrel top, which was embossed with their wedding date, and signature drinks, one named after the golf course where Kevin proposed. Their wedding invitations and day-of stationery utilized soft ivory and rich navy blue with a touch of deep gold.

They added romance through their lush pink and white florals, and fun by adding a cigar bar. Cigars were wrapped on-site and finished off with their monogram. Each table was named after a golf course with which they’ve had a personal experience. Meg and Kevin had a sophisticated affair and really let their personality shine through with the details.

Cincinnati Stationery : Poeme's table books

This year we changed the format of one of our signature designs, our table book. If you aren't familiar with our table book, they're a definite must-have for your wedding! The design combines the purposes of table numbers and your guest book.

Guests are encourage to write a wish, anecdote, or words of advice for the new couple. After the last dance has been danced, and the last glass of champagne has been sipped, we bind all of the pages into a coffee table book to be read for years to come. 

The books have been known to contain adorable drawings by the flower girl (of the new couple with their future children,) heartfelt thoughts of the mother of the bride, and the occasional game of tic-tac-toe. A huge upside to the new format is that, if your guests' entries become more "entertaining" as the night goes on, that page can be removed and tucked into a drawer!

Poeme will address your holiday cards for FREE!

Ho, Ho, Holy Moly it's time to think about Holiday Cards! During October, we are offering complimentary addressing on all custom holiday card orders. This is in addition to the specials that some of the individual designers are currently offering (for instance, William Arthur is offer 10% off all holiday card orders through October 24, Checkerboard is offering free return address printing through October 31st, etc.) Check one more thing off of your holiday to do list  and enjoy a stress-free season!
