I’m in love with Hayley and Ryan’s chess themed designs! Hayley made the design in Photoshop with a google-searched image and a free font downloaded from Dafont.
I asked Hayley to tell me a bit about her inspiration, and here’s what she wrote:
I came up with the tagline ‘He made his move, please save the date!‘ while i was riding the bus. This tagline actually helped to decide my overall theme for the wedding. The inspiration was a couple things; 1) My man is chess obsessed! 2) I think STD’s can be cute and flirty and this idea that he ‘made his move’ on me is so sexy!
Hayley says she felt the tagline set a masculine tone for what is normally an overtly female event. She made a couple of versions and sent it to her sister, mum and sister-in-law for review and feedback. (Kuddos to Hayley for that ‘move’ — honest feedback from some trusted sources is always a great help in the design process!)
Hayley and Ryan are hosting a nighttime cocktail wedding, which will feature a homemade, over-the-top mad tea party dessert table – including a chess board cake with sculpted chocolate pieces and lots of wine! Hayley send through a few mouth-watering photos to give us an idea of what she’s planning.
