Pixel Cowboy Part II

Wednesday, November 30th, 2011

So, did you miss Part I? Go catch up here. Let’s get back to the goods. SO many fun design details!

The guests departed from the gorgeous chapel in the woods to then step on to a gondola, with a “morin-ita” in hand, to take a breathtaking trip up the mountain to the reception. Once at the top of the mountain, guests were greeted with the “pixel” initial sign with D+B. It was a fun one too, we made that out of plain cardboard boxes outlined in duck tape!

The most important design element that Brit wanted to go crazy with was our ceiling installation. We hung square paper lanterns in our color scheme then strung LOTS and LOTS of “pixel garlands” in between hung by twine. It was spectacular in person, I wish everyone could have seen it!!

Other fun details we brought in were LED party glasses, cowboy boot beer mugs (instead of bouquet and garter toss, they did a chug off), LED ice cubes were placed in the cocktails, a pixel rope backdrop for the cupcake station (guests decorated their own cupcakes then Brit and Dave judged them and chose winners), and my personal fave: the raw lightbulb food station signs. I LOVED these, even though transporting them via plane, then rental car, then loading them up the gondola to get them into the venue was quite an adventure

Go check out their feature including their wedding video on Green Wedding Shoes, it’s amazing!

Pixel Cowboy Part I

Tuesday, November 29th, 2011

When Dave and Brit and I first began getting to know each other and brainstorming, it was VERY apparent that these two were some serious technology celebrities. So I presented them with an idea I called, “Pixel Cowboy”. It came about by all of the inspiration pictures Brit sent over to me. Equal parts gadget:cowboy rustic inspiration. Their venue was a mountain top in Jackson Hole, WY so naturally the cowboy part fit right in. Then we kind of just went crazy with the pixel part! Brit was a key designer in this entire process as she acquired a brilliant laser etcher machine that was the muscle behind ALL of the wood etching that Brit created. I was in heaven! The bridesmaid dresses with boots, the tutu flower girls, the groomsmen in their cowboy hats, all of it was amazing. We added a touch of “pixel” goodness to the already breathtaking chapel by hanging garlands of pixels topped with a burlap bow.

One of the things of this amazing weekend that I thought was SO KEY in Brit and Dave really TELLING their story was how they used technology. They even built their own wedding website complete with Facebook integration so that all their guests could meet and get to know each other before the big event. It was such a hit that Brit has spent the past few months building a version of the site that any bride or groom can use. The new site is Weduary, a more innovative wedding website creator, complete with themes and all kinds of social features for you and your guests.

Brit also decided to launch her brand new company, Brit. It’s an online guide full of innovative ways for busy, but inspired people to get creative in and around the home without spending too much time or effort.
