Stefanie and Barton's elephant inspired Save the Dates

Stefanie and Barton wanted a unique and personalized way of announcing their engagement to their family and friends.

Having the highest regard for elephants and their symbolism for Commitment and Strength they wanted to incorporate this throughout their wedding.  They even got a graphic designer to design their own personal elephant graphic!

When faced with the challenge of coming up with a great Save the Date, we quickly turned to Sweet Maralyn's Chocolates who has done chocolate elephants for us before.  They were such a great hit at the previous wedding, we knew that Stefanie and Barton would love these too! 

 The completed piece.  The top of each box was etched with Stefanie and Barton's elephant graphic.

Each elephant was gold dusted and wrapped in a thick celo bag and tied off with organza ribbon and gold beads.  
An old world map lined the bottom of the box.


 The paper save the date was double layered ivory on top of chocolate brown Stardream paper.
