In the Works: Kari and Christopher


On the average consultations for us take 30 minutes to an hour to discuss in detail what you envision for your custom invitations....unless you are Kari! LOL She was one of our favorite brides to date! It honestly felt like the time just flew by, her ideas and excitement for her wedding was so...well...exciting!!!

Kari is a great girl who loves pink and black and all things vintage glam! We're currently in the process of creating a fab 5x5 black and pink invitation for her wedding. Stay tuned for more on that soon!

Time to Man Up!


This one's for the guys. Ladies we know you should be the focus on your special day, but where would you be without that strapping young fellow next to you!? Let's face it, he is in the pictures too. Read below and forward to your favorite boy!

Guys!
Grooming for your special day is extremely important. While everybody waits for the bride to make her big debut, what do they do? They stare at you! Why not give them a sexy new face to stare at, we are talking shaving, plucking, moisturizing, shellacking, drilling, stuccoing, and anything else you can think of to make your face glow (a manly glow of course). Like a beer bottle in the moonlight.

Let's not forget the ever-important haircut and if you are ready to go where some do not dare......THE MANICURE! Yes, we went there. There is nothing sexy about the splinters you got while trying to build that stand to hold your new 42 inch plasma TV. All of these minor details help make the day extra special, not only for you but for your bride-to-be. We found a great website that breaks it down for you in a "man-ish" way: www.thegroomguide.com. Read below for some of the excerpts from the article on grooming for the big day and tell us what you think. It's a rather fun read.


“Never outshine the master”.
Words to live by, especially when it comes to your wedding. Yes, the Bride-to-Be is the “master”. The Bride is the focus, center of attention, and the one everybody stares at when you’re both walking down the aisle. This is her special day, but every Queen needs a King. It’s time for a crash course in looking like you belong on that throne. We’ll tell you everything you need to know about looking your very best without looking like you spent more time then the Bride-to-Be.

Nail it down
Look at your fingers. Look carefully. How long are your nails? Do you see pieces of donut inside your fingernails? Would your nails set off store alarms? Does it look like a pair of hungry hyenas gnawed on them all night? It may be time to visit the local nail salon.
Yes, we know. It makes you look like a Nancy Boy. And the truth is, it probably will. But there is a light (a rather dim light) at the end of this tunnel. When your wife or everybody at the whole frickin wedding holds your hands, they will not be repulsed, and they certainly won’t pick up any coodies. Somebody once said that,”God is in the details”. Let those words speak for themselves. In terms of your body, this is like icing on the cake. It makes everything look a hell of a lot better. It shows everybody that you’re a man of class, and you enjoy the finer things in life...like hygiene for example. Plus, the “hand in hand” pictures will live for forever!

Hi...My Name is....


I think we need clear some things up. There are some rumors that need to be addressed. Ok, so they aren't rumors but they still need to be fixed.


There is some confusion out there on the name of our company. Here's a few of the alias' we "apparently" go by:
  • Dare to B Unique - Dare to B Unique is the slogan for our company and of course the web address. We chose this b/c we want to dare our customers to not just go with the ordinary and traditional. But to think outside the box and make their own rules!)
  • Unique Couture (Actually this is a new line of custom invitations we offer. Their very glam, offer Thai silk boxes, and an array of embellishments. Not that I'm bias but these babies are fierce! )
So let's recap: While we dare you to b unique and check out out new line of invitations called Unique Couture....We are Unique Designs: A custom invitation studio!

Let Desire Guide You....


Unique Designs unleashes a new collection to fulfill your fashion fetish. Introducing, Unique Couture. A luxurious line of custom invitations featuring imported Thai silks in an array of vivid colors, ethereal crystal brooches and Swarovski crystal accents. Inspired by the couture runways of Milan and Paris, this collection brings a sense of high fashion to a world of uninspired stationery. You live for fashion...You're a fashion goddess in very sense of the word. So shouldn't your invitations reflect that?

Be a Goddess...

PS. Head over to the Solutions Bridal Blog, they posted about us and we are so thrilled!!!!

It's been a while...



But we are back now! It's been a whirlwind so let us get you up to speed...

Well boys and girls, we just did our first bridal show (September 7th) and I must say, it was so fun! We admit we were a bit nervous at first but our favorite girls over at Masterpiece weddings (Melissa * aka Maria*, Kristin, and Amanda) helped calm us down. They are great, and their booth was so cute! I love the little pill bottles, very creative!

Being that it was our first show, we weren't really sure what to expect, but the turn out was unbelievable! I must say, I'm totally proud of us. Our booth turned out wonderfully and the brides and other guest were so nice and receptive to our product. We couldn't have asked for a better time.

Since then, we've had one consultation after another. Things are going great! We're busy lil bees. (hehe)

Ok so that is a quick little update on all things Unique. Check back for more updates later!
