Nolan's Baby Announcement

2010-12-11T12:24:00.000-08:00

How cute is this boy. He leaves me speechless... and those toes.... AHHHH I LOVE HIM! Check out Nolan's baby announcement. His mommy and I went to high school together and grew up in Annapolis, MD. Her and her hubby now live in Charleston and I get to see them here and there! Love having some Naptown friends in the south :-)

Stef and Jason are getting hitched!

2010-12-11T12:16:00.000-08:00

Not only am I in the wedding, but I also got the honor of designing their save the date magnet! It turned out great and it's hanging on my fridge right now! Love you guys!

After The Rehearsal Dinner

2010-11-22T09:18:00.000-08:00

Brittany and Ben wanted to be able to invite all of their guests to drinks after they do the Rehearsal dinner with immediate family. This way all out of town guests who are there the night before can join in on a little celebration before their big day. I love this invite and they do too! They didn't have a theme, just wanted something with a good feel, not too fancy, but not too casual. Here is what I came up with!

Wedding Invite Concepts for Ashley and Chris

2010-11-05T11:37:00.000-07:00

I am so lucky to have such a fun couple to design wedding invitations for. Chris and Ashley are very in touch with their romantic wedding style. Here are some options we've been working on for their special day.

Briana is having a baby girl!

2010-11-05T11:35:00.000-07:00

Stefanie and Jason's Save the Date Decision!

2010-10-27T08:11:00.000-07:00

We have a few comps going on for Stefanie and Jason and they're trying to pick. I will post the final soon but here are some of the ideas we have gone over :-)
Enjoy!

Kady and Kyle's Stock the Bar Invitations

2010-10-25T10:54:00.000-07:00

Kady and Kyle are having a stock the bar party thrown in their honor! Check out the invite I created for this awesome party!

The "Kady" Invite

2010-10-06T06:46:00.000-07:00

Every time I meet a bride it usually takes seconds for me to figure out what kind of invitation they are going to need for their big day. When I met Kady (we've known each other for about a year now) I knew exactly how I would design her wedding invitations one day. This is what I came up with and I call it the "Kady." I hope you enjoy it and let me know what you think. I love feedback!

Ashley and Chris' Final Save the Date

2010-09-16T07:45:00.001-07:00

Here it is! Drumroll please! We incorporated the Charleston style wrought iron signs/gates with their instyle wedding theme. Check it out and I hope y'all love it!

Save the Dates Galore!!!

2010-09-14T13:12:00.000-07:00

Get Ready, I'm on Save the Date Overload! Here are some designs I have been working on for my clients :-) Enjoy!

Brittany and Ben are going for the vintage/classy look for their big day. Their colors are light blue, light yellow and navy. Great Taste! They wanted to incorporate an oak tree as part of their decor, so I drew a little tree silhouette to put on their stationery! I can't wait to show you more of what I am going to design for this lovely couple!

Ashley and Chris are going for the INStyle wedding. Pinks, Greys, Ivory... They are having their reception at the William Aiken House downtown Charleston and what works better than crystal chandeliers for such an amazing venue! I can't wait to get working on their invites, but for now, here is a save the date that I designed for them!

2010-09-02T15:01:00.000-07:00

Need Pricing Information? Check out my Menu of Services! Got questions? Just ask. These prices are not set in stone, just a round-about of what I can offer to my clients :-) And don't forget, I can design anything you want. Let's play!

Caroline and Nathan

2010-08-20T06:59:00.000-07:00

Are tying the knot, and they needed a wedding program fan! Check out the design I came up with and let me know what you think! These fans are a hit. She's going to tie blue and yellow strings to the ends. I'll show a pic of the final product when they get printed :-)

Nikki and Terrance are getting married!

2010-08-17T12:15:00.000-07:00

And they're having an engagement luau!!! Check out the recent invite design I did for their luau! I hope you all enjoy! Congrats Nikki and Terrance!

Lauren and JD's Menu Cards

2010-08-11T09:46:00.000-07:00

I love working with Lauren! She's such a blast and such a great bride to be. We just finished her fans, and now we're working on her menu cards! Take a look, I hope you like them as much as she does :-)

Coffee Packets :-) - Guest Gifts

2010-08-04T07:42:00.000-07:00

Jessica and Michael met in a bookstore drinking coffee, as a gift to their guests, they are handing out bags of coffee with this sticker (the black and red one, those are their colors) on them :-) What a great idea! Don't forget, I can design your guest gifts for you too! :-)

Wedding Programs!

2010-08-03T07:10:00.000-07:00

I love doing wedding programs! They are a fun way to get your guests excited about the ceremony and let them know more about the reception and who all is in your wedding! Nothing better than putting a name to a face and letting your guests feel more involved with the wedding! Check out these recent designs! I can design simple one sided prints or fun fans to keep your guests cool during the reception! Enjoy!

Kady and Kyle are tying the knot!

2010-07-13T06:57:00.000-07:00

And they want you to save the date! :-)
This save the date will be printed as a magnet for all of Kady and Kyle's guests to throw on their refrigerator and never forget when their favorite couple is tying the knot! They're pretty inexpensive too. Magnets are an awesome way for you to remind your guests that your wedding is coming up without your paper save the date being tossed away and forgotten about.
Congrats Kady and Kyle! I can't wait to design more for your special day!

Will you be a bridesmaid, standing by my side?

2010-07-13T06:45:00.000-07:00

Kady Oliver is going to be one of those brides that I just have an absolute blast with :-) but let's be serious, I have a blast with all brides because I am just so happy to help them out with their special day!

Kady wanted a cute notecard to send to her bridesmaids to ask them to be in her wedding so we sat down and got to designing. Here is what we came up with and here are the final printouts as well :-)

Enjoy!

Wedding Logos and Koozies!

2010-06-30T08:44:00.001-07:00

I have such a great time designing logos for weddings and even graphics for koozies for weddings! Koozies are a great guest gift for when your guests arrive at your wedding. And, guests LOVE THEM! What better way to for you and your guests to remember your wedding day than to pull out your wedding koozie over the next couple of years when you are at parties, the beach, the pool, or just sitting at home with a refreshing drink! Here are some fun designs I have come up with for my wedding. Nothing is final yet, I'm just having a blast designing for now! :-)

Enjoy!

Mac and Murphy downtown Charleston printed the invites on a beautiful Quartz/pearl cardstock. The shimmer was just perfect and the color came beautifully! Check out that shine!

Film Strips on Save the Dates?

2010-04-01T16:39:00.001-07:00

Yeah, crazy right? Not so much, your wedding is your chance to be your favorite models, it's the happiest time of your life so why not include some of the happiest pictures of you two on this Film Strip Save the Date?! All it needs are your engagement pictures or your favorite pictures together and of course your wedding colors and I can customize this Save the Date for your special day! The sepia tone feel with sepia converted (wanna do full color? SURE!, how about black and white, OF COURSE!) images will look absolutely stunning as a Save the Date postcard or even a magnet! Enjoy!

Wedding Programs!

2010-04-01T14:51:00.000-07:00

Programs are a lot of fun! You slowly start to learn the most popular bible verses, or the most popular songs, and it's a personal touch for all of the guests coming to your wedding. There are a bunch of different ways you can approach the program. A folded letter size sheet of paper is the most popular. But I've started to work on some fun ideas too! FANS, for those hot wedding days but it also has all of the wedding information on it with some cute, custom designs! How cool! I love these! Or how about a fun shape that means a lot to you and your soon to be hubby? I've seen some awesome ideas! I can custom design and make these for you too! But here is a simple front program design!

Lara and her fiancé Sam are getting married June 4th, 2010 and they had me design their invites, response cards and escort cards! Take a look at what I came up with. They were very happy and nothing makes me love what I do more than seeing a couple so in love and so pleased with what you design for their special day! Best of luck to the two of you, thought I know you don't need it, I love you guys!

Save the Dates!

2009-10-20T07:14:00.000-07:00

I absolutely love designing Save the Dates. Something about them is fun and exciting and there's so many different ways you can go about designing a save the date. You can use pictures, wedding colors, monograms, magnets, holiday cards... the possibilities are endless. So let me get creative with your save the date and create something that will get your guests excited about your exciting day to come :-)

Recently I designed a Save the Date Magnet for my friends Lara and Sam, Here is the final product! :-)

My good friend Ashley needed a Save the Date magnet designed for her Annapolis themed wedding to her wonderful Marine Fiancé Chris, and here's what she chose:

Lauren and JD saw Ashley and Chris' save the date and fell in love. So we made a few edits and made it fit their special day!

The Holidays are creeping up on us!

2009-10-05T06:33:00.001-07:00

Welcome To Graphically Ever After

2009-09-09T07:29:00.001-07:00

Welcome to the Graphically Ever After Blog! Thanks for visiting!

Graphically Ever After started as a side project for graphic artist, Kelly K. Gukanovich. One night, she was sitting around designing a Thank You card for a friend's wedding and she thought to herself, "I should really start doing this more on the side! But first, I need a name!" There were plenty of ideas between her and her boyfriend, Drake, with some yays and some nays... They were stumped, she needed something classy but cute for her future Wedding design business. Kelly got to thinking, and of course like almost every girl, got to thinking about Disney movies, Lady and the Tramp, The Little Mermaid, led her right to CINDERELLA which led her right to the idea of fairy tales and living happily ever after... A few moments later she shouted, "Graphically Ever After!" Drake laughed but then looked at her with an expression on his face that said, "Hey! That's not too bad, I like it!"

Graphically Ever After was born! First, it started as a wedding design business, but it has grown into a special occasion design business as time has gone by. Graphically Ever After is here for you to create a memorable day through our designs for your great events in life...

Weddings!

Babies!

Graduations!

The list goes on...

So please, do not hesitate to contact Kelly at Graphically Ever After for your next special day!
