Love Invites

toasted love

 

We recently teamed up with some amazingly talented ladies for a design challenge at Utterly Engaged in Orange County. Amanda at In The Now Weddings and Lauryl Lane from Lauryl Lane Floral Artistry are two extremely creative ladies. We were blessed to work with them! For the "paper" goods there was much more than paper involved! We designed a fireplace graphic to be etched into lucite, along with lucite menus. We designed tags for specially blended teas and pennant flags for the hot cocoa. This shoot was also featured over on Junebug Weddings and Elizabeth Anne Designs! It was a blast to design and I just love how warm & innovatively modern the final design looks. Enjoy!

the mega winter collection & black friday sales!

 

We have such an exciting announcement to make on our new Ready-to-Love (RTL) collection. We had a Spring & Summer collection, but somehow got so busy mid-wedding season that we skipped the Fall collection completely. Well the great news is the Winter 09 collection is bigger, badder, and with 12 completely NEW designs to choose from. This collection has it all for every type of wedding: Modern, Shabby Chic, Classic, Vintage, Casual, Romantic, Elegant, Traditional, Kitschy, Beachy, Garden and even Rock n' Roll style!

Download the PDF of the Winter 09 Ready-to-Love collection. Or check out the website for more information on Ready-to-Love.

Now is the perfect time to receive some beautiful wedding stationery for some Black Friday prices! Remember to lock in your 2009 rates, the old rates are only good until Christmas day 12/25/09. Any proposals received after that may be subject to the new pricing increases for 2010.

Happy Thanksgiving! Have a lovely holiday with family and friends!

love cinco de mayo style

Happy Cinco de Mayo all! For day 2 of my post a day, comes a destination wedding in Mexico. Lindsay wanted it to remain light and casual, but not too overdone with the theme. Her colors were rich and bright primary colors. We first did the Save-the-date with the Mexican papel theme, and it became a cornerstone, so we brought it through to the invitation suite. For the invitations, we kept the same feeling but brought in some handwriting to make it more personal and classy.

Have a fun and safe 5th!

spring love

Spring is in the air! At least for wedding invitations, it is :)

I'm so excited about this couple, they were so fun to meet with. They had a solid idea in their heads, they even brought me a sample invitation they loved! It was a single daisy on white paper with black text. I'm happy that they let me explore the idea and push a little further to give it a much brighter, warmer and happier feeling! And I normally don't post reply cards but I'm just in love with this one! They are so cute that their guests are not going to want to send them in! :)

Congratulations Wendy and Chris!!

modern spanish love part II

Goodness, It's been a busy holiday season, and subsequently it's been awhile since I blogged... I have tons of new projects to show you, but for now I would like to show you how Jennifer & Jayson's amazing invitation suite came out. These are one of my favorites so far!

We got a new printer and it's a special printing process that uses solid inks. They start off as waxy blocks, melted down, mixed and applied to paper. The end result gives a tiny bit of a raised ink feeling as you can feel the wax on the paper. Too cool! She also upgraded to 110 lb. paper which gave these invites a substantial feel.

Congratulations again to J&J :)

modern spanish love

Can I just say, designing these invitations made my day! Hey that rhymes! :)

When Jennifer & Jayson met with me they had this very cool idea of incorporating their photo in their invites. Jennifer & Jayson's main theme is Old Spanish infused with Modern styles. Their colors are cranberry, chocolate and ivory. These invites have such a cool personal vibe to them. Love it!

I < 3 NY

"I'm in a New York state of mind..."

I just finished up designing invitations for a Bride and Groom getting hitched in NY, NY. I think I had too much fun designing these. I've been looking forward to designing these ever since she contacted me.

Their wedding is going to be a mashup of elegant, urban, funky, sophisticated... basically New York! Their colors are chocolate brown and lavender. Here are my top favorites.

I am so in love!! :)

love under the california sun

Hayley & Chris are getting married alongside the beach and wanted a super modern caribbean feel to their save-the-dates. Their main colors are Aqua and Yellow and their centerpieces will be lemons! How delicious is that? :)
