In the Works: Beth and Casey


We met Beth and her Mother back in September, she was a great girl and was very receptive to new ideas and suggestions. They were so sweet, it was a great consultation! We were hired to design her invitations, guest book cards, menus, programs, and thank you cards. Her wedding will be in Captiva Island, Florida on March 16th. Her colors are lapis (dark rich blue) , wicked (bright green), ecru (cream) with hints of burnt orange. It looks soo good together! Once her invitations are sent we will put them up on the blog.

Can't wait for you to see the completed suite!

In the Works : Arielle and Stephan


"We picked the meat, now what cheese do we want?" - That is the question Stephan asked Arielle at our initial consultation, referring to a previous comment I made comparing our many selections to Subway. We met Stephan and Arielle at the Bridal Expo, they were so great and so enthusiastic! Their sense of humor made every selection a blast.

Their wedding will be in a secret location in Germany in Stephan's hometown! I know, how romantic! The location is amazing! It's breathtaking, and their guest are in for a great treat. The activities leading up to the event are full of German traditions that their guests are sure to never forget.

The invitation that we are working on is a rich detail driven design full of charm. The final design will mimic the style of the room where the reception will take place, and it will be printed in English and German! This couple has to be one of our favorites to date! They were so much fun and it was a pleasure hearing their suggestions for their {unique} invitations! We can't wait to show you the final sub! Stay tuned.

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!

Also, Kari has a blog called Kee to you heart where I found these cuties, they are accordion scrapbooks. And get this...She made them herself!!! A girl after my own heart!

In the Works: Eiryn and Vince



OMG! We recently received a test shot for the photographs of Eiryn and Vince's wedding invitations. The concept was the brainchild of Unique Designs and Paul from Footstone Photography. We met last month to discuss the look and feel for the photo shoot and the results are here!!!!!


It is sooo beautiful! We can't wait for the actual photo shoot, it is going to be amazing! We were extremely impressed with Paul's work before this photo, and he has gone above and beyond anything we could have wished for. The concept for this photo shoot is amazing, it is so romantic just like we wanted! Can't wait to share.


The anticipation is killing us!

In the works: Eiryn and Vince




This is the first in a series of posts that we like to call "In the Works". These posts will be about projects that we are currently working on and will give a behind the scenes look at the creative process. Right now we're working on invitations for one of the most interesting couples we have met in a while. The true love and playfulness shared between Eiryn and Vince really made designing this invitation a pleasure.

We first met the couple last month at our first consultation. The bride-to-be was very detail driven and very specific in what she wanted. Vince on the other hand was a tall ball of fun, very funny and playful with his fiance'. After meeting with them we traveled to her office to view some of the work in progress for their wedding. We were in heaven! Color swatches, bridal books, magazine cut outs, fabric swatches, linens, tablescapes, it was a Martha Stewart workshop! The best part was her enthusiasm in planning this unforgettable event. Her goal for this wedding was to create a lavish romance filled evening for them and their guests. The recurring theme was grapes and wine. The style of this wedding evoked a feeling of an ultra- luxurious Tuscany themed wedding. It was dark and sexy with a mature sophistication.

After choosing the colors, papers, pockets and embellishments, conversation turned to the wording. A traditional catholic wedding that had to represent her Filipino heritage as well. The challenge was how to make a modern invitation that honored both the culture and religion, not seem overwhelming? Well, we designed a double layered pocket fold invitation with 3 attachments. In the pocket was a bridal entourage card, lodging and reception card and an RSVP card with a printed envelope. The end result was a stunning design that exemplified the style and sophistication of this wedding. A masterpiece, if we do say so ourselves!

We are currently working on Eiryn and Vince's invitations and we will post some pictures of the work in progress and final creation shortly! Check back soon.
