As you all may remember, I posted a blog to help me decided on a bridesmaids dress. Well, ladies and gents, we have a winner!

We figured we barely ever talk about our wonderful invitations, so why not show you a few. Now remember, we design custom invitations, we are not photographers. You can't really appreciate these babies in a crappy picture, but if you squint your eyes and turn your head to the side you can see the invitations. = )

Below is a new one we created a few weeks ago. It has a very monochromatic color scheme and some beautiful details such as the pull out knot, metallic papers, and scroll motif rub-ons. It's a beauty!


Here is one of my favorites.... I'm not really sure why, it's truly not my style at all, but I like the formal informality of it. Ya know!? It's very playful and fun. I love it!


So there you have it.... We actually work! = ) What do you think? You like? We will be posting a few more invitations later in the week, so check back for more!

Kari!!!!!

After all the great submissions for our first contest, Alicia who is an Associate Marketing Manager with MOO picked Kari as the winner!!!! She says " I chose it because it was the most creative and interesting and not something we've really seen any of our customers do before. "

We couldn't agree more, Kari did a great job describing how she would use her MOO products in a creative way.....

My latest obsession has been placecards, and the MOO cards would make absolutely perfect ones!!

So here's my idea...

I'm having a relatively small wedding, and almost all of the guests are going to be family. So it would be really cool to get pictures of all of my guests, and even better, if it's a married couple, a picture from their wedding. And then I would make all of the images black and white, and put them on the MOO cards. Then, I would paint a pink artsy table number on each of the MOO cards. To top off the placecards, it would be really neat to attach a clip to the back of each card and have them all clipped to a piece of thick black satin ribbon and hung from a wall. It would be really chic and abstract, and when the guests arrive, they just look for their photos... no names necessary! :O)

Do you remember when we were yapping about the sweet treat that we received from KB's last week? Read it again here.

They are FREAKIN good!!! They are amazingly moist and decadent. They are available at Dorn's Wine Warehouse and of course through KB's directly. You have to go get some. Delish!

We designed the labels for these little guys, and take a look how cute they turned out....

Take a look at the trailer for a new movie called Bride Wars! Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson will play best friends who are pitted against each other when their wedding dates clash. They compete for venues, services and guests, once it's clear that neither will step aside. The movie looks super fun. Take a look....

We received the best gift this past week. KB's Kake Kreations dropped off a sweet little package with a new kreation! We cannot give away too much information yet, but let's just say that you will die when you see an taste these little guys! Simply AMAZING!!!!!!!

A high end dessert bar!? Who could resist!!!! We found out about the wonderful and talented Amy Atlas and we love her work! Her tables are true pieces of sweet art! Take a look at some of her amazing work:



Amy is the owner of Amy Atlas Events in New York City. It is evident that her attention to detail is what has made her business successful. The color coordination and overall aesthetics are beautiful. Take a look at her website for more yummy goodness. YUMM!

"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.
