Katie and Chris

LOVE AND HAPPINESS 

For Katie and Chris, the perfect wedding meant gathering their favorite people on the shores of Narragansett for a celebration that felt as fun as it was meaningful. The couple looked to Cheree Berry Paper & Design to reflect their lighthearted sensibility across the branding and stationery, a delightful task when the two were sweeter than a scoop of Baron’s ice cream.  

KC AND THE SUNSHINE BRAND 

Our visual identity for K+C evoked those happy-go-lucky summers spent on the New England coast. Sorbet yellow, harbor blue and powder green pastels received a dose of celebratory energy from bolder primary shades. The loose, hand-lettered script and monogram helped maintain the couple’s easygoing spirit throughout the collection, while stripes, wavy scalloped edges and seashell imagery anchored the brand firmly in the Ocean State. 

AN INVITATION SENSATION 

In designing Katie and Chris’s wedding suite, our goal was to infuse the stationery with as much of their joyful energy as possible. Within the sunny, cabana-striped envelope, an equally colorful invitation featuring a painted die-cut edge and letterpress printing awaited. But the pops of luxe playfulness didn’t stop there! We engineered the events folio to feel like a treasure hunt, tucking one delightful discovery after another in each of its pockets. Interactive formats found within, including an after-party matchbook and a farewell-brunch bagel insert wrapped tight in paper, were the cherry on top of this stationery sundae. 

GAME, SET, PONG! 

The weekend’s celebrations began with Paddles & Provisions, a tricked-out funfair that harkened back to the couple’s college days. Between rounds of cornhole, putt-putt and pong, guests refueled at the various custom-branded food stands, each bearing its own thematic signage and food packaging. And if the competition got particularly heated, a truck stocked with iconic Rhode Island icy treats was on site to keep everyone cool.  

A BIG DAY ON NARRAGANSETT BAY 

K+C’s something blue came in part in the form of coastal waters stretching as far as the eye could see. Unobstructed views of the misty shoreline at once enveloped the wedding in a soft romantic air and made the vibrancy inside the tent all the more potent. In the midst of it all, familiar brand marks and motifs blended effortlessly into the event design, appearing as dance floor graphics, wallpapers, bar wraps and textile furnishings.
