Sex and the city style NY bride & girlfriends day

Recently, I created several design items for a modern, SATC inspired bride & girlfriend photo shoot in NYC. Today, it was featured on the most popular wedding blog of all times, Style Me Pretty! Here are a few sneak peeks… get ready – there are some illustrated design items and unique wedding celebration ideas that I have never made before!

The bride and her girlfriends having a ball at Gabriella New York bridal salon. I particularly love the white gown in the middle, with the gem patterns – it’s so unique, isn’t it! And it looks absolutely ravishing on the bride. Bridesmaids gowns by Two Birds Bridesmaid. Custom-made perspex rings with tailor-made illustration: yes, I made these for the bridesmaids! If you’re interested in more design items like this, visit AstridMuellerExclusive.com or email me.

As you see above, I also made matching illustrated perspex drink stirs for the occasion. For the concept of the gem illustrations as glamorous NYC style element, I drew inspiration from the recently auctioned Elizabeth Taylor jewelry collection. What inspiration that was!  I also created several hand-debossed velvet design accents, which featured the designs. You see above a napkin ring and a glimpse of another debossed fabric piece. I had also made a velvet scarf, chokers and hair accessories, as well as a tailor-made matching perspex clutch (not shown).

All of my design items you see above are tailor-made to order. If you’re interested in accentuating your celebration with your own unique design pieces, and in new wedding design accents and gifts that may have never been made and seen before , visit AstridMuellerExclusive.com for initial inspiration, or email me directly.

Hope you enjoyed the glimpses above! See more in the Style Me Pretty blog feature here and browse the full gallery with all photos here!

Unusual Wedding Inspiration: modern architecture

A week ago, I teased you with award-winning architecture by New Space Architects Pte Ltd. as unique wedding inspiration. This was the image that had tantalized me:

modern luxury home in Singapore’s stunning Sentosa Cove, architects: New Space International Ltd.

Though, at the moment, no couple has commissioned me to create a stationery concept with this design direction, I was so inspired I created this save the date card concept:

save the date card sketch, as card is closed.

I playfully mimicked the home’s perspective (the above card sketch is shown as it’s closed).

Some elements would be laser-cut, revealing parts of the card’s interior, thus resembling an actual building. As the card opens up, it could look like this:

..and when fully opened and laying flat, it could look somewhat like this (again, the perspective would just be a trompe l’oeil effect):

avant-garde architecture-inspired save the date card concept

To infuse this avant-garde design with a touch of life, I could add a sophisticated tailor-made illustration resembling you and your fiancé. Within the architecture-inspired and laser-cut card, the figures would almost look as if they are living in a house!

If there’s something you’re passionate about that you’d love to bring to life in a very unique wedding stationery concept of your own, I’d be excited to hear from you!

Unusual Wedding Inspiration: Sentosa Cove Architecture

If your heart beats faster seeing groundbreaking architecture such as this:

modern luxury home in Singapore’s stunning Sentosa Cove, architects: New Space International Ltd.

…you doubtlessly have a very distinguished sense of modern, minimalistic design, and I’m certain that you’re envisioning a unique wedding design!

The above image inspired me so much I devised an architecture-inspired save the date card concept, even though no one has commissioned me for it (yet).

Come back in a week to see how the architecture piece above could set the tone of your wedding celebration or upcoming exclusive designer party!
