Catherine & Rob

Catherine Ang and Rob Carlsen were married in San Juan, Puerto Rico on June 28th. We had the pleasure of working with them from the Save the Dates through the “day of” paper products.

We were happy to be able to help them achieve their personal goal of reflecting an intimate beach feel with their wonderful, vibrant palate of navy, teal and orange.

They started with a boarding pass Save the Date from Perfect on Paper which set the tone for the great trip ahead.

Then we customized their pocket folder invite from Marsupial with elegant shell and coral images.

The folder style helped organize all the details and information for the weekend festivities.

Finally the programs, placecards and menus used the shell theme in a delicate but whimsical way.

Here are Cat and Rob’s answers to our Real Wedding planning questions:

1) Name four adjectives that describe the feel / style of your wedding

Elegant, understated, tropical, and joyous

2) What is your favorite memory of your wedding day?

The first time we saw one another. We decided to see one another before the ceremony; Cat has traditionalist tendencies, so she really struggled with whether we should see one another beforehand. In the end, we decided to do it, and it was one of the best things we did. Both of us were walking balls of nerves and excitement the whole day; but when we saw one another for the first time, all of that vanished. It was a “here’s-the-person-I-love-and-I’m-going-to-spend-my-life-with-and-nothing-else-matters-because-s/he-is-here-now” moment. It was such a happy, exciting, and comforting moment of the day.

3) If you were to do it again (to the same person, of course) what would you do differently?

Honestly, we wouldn’t do anything differently.

4) What is your best one piece of advice to future brides and grooms?

Throughout the planning process and the day of, remember to remind yourselves that the wedding is about YOU. Many people may offer their thoughts, opinions, and ideas and/or come with their own expectations, but at the end of the day, this is about you and your partner. Take the time to figure out what’s most important to you both; from there, you can determine which things you’re willing to stand up for, and which ones are not worth the stress of arguing over.
