Gleeful Elegance | Devaughn & Telia Colebrooke

Updated: Oct 7, 2020

You could not have met a happier bride than Telia! When we met her, we knew she was very excited to get married.

Upon looking through our catalogues, she decided on one of our favourites: a lasercut pocket invitation.

Printed on beautiful ivory cardstock, Telia and Devaughn’s invitation was backed with a matte, chestnut coloured cardstock.

Printed at the top on the invitation was the couple’s custom monogram, featuring their names and their wedding date. Their invitation also including a matching reception card and a monetary envelope.

Both items were perfectly sized to fit in the pocket of the lasercut jacket that Telia chose. Lasercut invitations are a beautiful and elegant choice for wedding stationery and are great for the bride that loves fine details. Many brides come to us here at Template for the wide selection of lasercut pockets we have in stock. Even more pleasing, you can receive your invitations in a few days.

This pocket that Telia chose is a deep, exquisite burgundy coloured lasercut with whimsical yet classy cutouts. This delicate detail can be seen on the interior pocket and on the outer fold of the invitation.

A gorgeous gold glitter belly band, featuring a tiered monogram embellishment, was used to keep the invitation closed and to complete the look.

Excitement filled the air as Telia and Devaughn prepared to say I Do to one another and become one. Devaughn looked quite dapper in his white suit with his deep red vest, collar and bow tie.

Telia looked ravishing in her modest, sweetheart wedding dress, adored with an illusion neckline, lavish lace and intricate beadwork.

The hour was near. Guests made their way to the church as the bride and groom prepared themselves for the biggest day of their lives.

Ushers welcomed each guest to the ceremony and presented them with a program.

For their programs, this Telia and Devaughn chose a tea length, booklet style program.

Their monogram was on the cover page and a photo of the two was on the first interior page.

The entire program was printed on luxurious linen paper and each page featured the custom page numbers.

Details like this are what Template is known for. We do our best to ensure that each couple feels important, cherished and confident on their big day!

The processional began. The groomsmen stood at the front of the church as Devaughn walked the mother down the aisle. They were followed by the mother of the bride and the bridesmaids. Telia entered the church with her father and Devaughn met them in the middle of the aisle.

He took her by the hand and their made their way down together.

Their ceremony was heartfelt. Telia and Devaughn prayed, sung and joined their families together in a unity candle ceremony.

Following this, they were announced Mr. and Mrs. Colebrooke and …

The registry was signed and the two who were now one walked back down the aisle and into the rest of their lives.

The I Do’s were done and the portraits were taken.

Guests were absolutely wowed by the beautiful décor at the reception done by our friends at Beyond Décor. Tables adored with beautiful red roses and white hydrangeas and gold or clear chargers were surrounded by elegant gold chairs.

It was the perfect setting for Telia and Devaughn’s post nuptial celebrations.

Also placed on each table was our tented menu, reception program and thank you card combo is a great chose for the cost conscious couple.

The card is tented so it can stand upright on each table and can be shared between guests, as opposed to each guest having one of their own.

Inside, the chosen menu for the night was on the first fold and the program was on the second.

At the back was a thank you from the bride and groom to their guests. Little additions like these help to make wedding guests feel appreciated and special, which the continual use of the couple’s monogram gives each piece a sense of cohesion, thus making them a complete stationery set.

We are so very happy for our bride Telia and her husband Devaughn! We here at Template wish them nothing but the best as they journey through life together!
