Baby Shower: Girly Jungle

When I heard my best friend Ryan fell in love, I was beyond happy for him especially because Laura, his now wife, is amazing! Ryan and I have been friends since the first grade and he deserves nothing but the best when it comes to every aspect of his life. A few months after he was the "man of honor" in my wedding, I found out he & Laura were going to have a baby! I am so unbelievably excited for them and so happy they asked me to make their baby shower invitations! They are having a little baby girl this coming summer and naming her Taylor. When they were to make their registry, they fell in love with everything jungle. After a few weeks designing & working with Laura to make the invitation perfect, I am really in love with the final result! Check it out! 

Really different from what I usually do but so much fun to design!

Save The Dates: Teri & Scott

One of my my newest brides has been so much fun to work with! I feel so inspired every time I talk to her or leave one of our meetings! Her colors are champagne, pale pink & espresso. So elegant! The first item we created for Teri & Scott were save the dates. We met back in January to design something special for them. Teri said at the beginning of the meeting, "I know exactly what I want, I just haven't seen them.", which made a little nervous but we created a save the date for them that turned out beautiful and the bride absolutely loved them! Simply but elegant and a magnet (at the request of the groom)! Take a look!

Remember, anything you like can be made into a magnet!

The beauty about custom save the dates & invitations is that each and every detail can be changed 

so that you LOVE what you are ordering!

Baby Shower: Vintage Circus

Last month, we were hired to create invitations & other goodies for a vintage circus themed baby shower for an amazing mommy to be. Her mother & sister did such a beautiful job with the shower and we just wanted to share some of the products they had made for the event. They also asked us to photograph the shower so that not a moment was missed by the hostesses. Take a look at this amazing day!

Although most bridal shower you may attend are full of pastel pinks & blues, 

going with bright, bold colors are so much more fun & exciting!

Think outside of the box and look what you could create!

 

The hostesses did an amazing job decorating the house!

They had extra invitations, which ended up making awesome decorations.

 

When done wrong, balloons can be tacky 

but these were PERFECTION and added such a fun decoration element!

Popcorn as favors? Seriously, how adorable!

With a custom favor tag to add the extra special detail.

"Wishes for the Baby" cards for guests to fill out. 

Possibly the party's best accessory on the amazing hostess Alana!

Food by the amazing Nicole Gaffney of The Dinner Belle

Here is the mommy to be and the amazing hostess aka her sister Alana!

James Ray IV was born March 6th and may be the most beautiful baby ever!

Congratulations to Mommy, Daddy, Titi & Family!

Soapbox: You ALL!

Hello All! So... I know it has been awhile since I posted and I should be apologizing BUT I have to admit it is because we have been super busy with new brides, new orders & designing! It has been an amazing few months and the business is growing so much faster than I ever expected!!! I have loved every minute of building this small company and it just gets better every day! I just wanted to take this time to thank everyone who has helped me, supported me and hired me! I could not be doing this without you all and I am so unbelievably grateful.

Bridal Show: Betina's at Parkview- Part ii

My last post featured photos of the collection I created for the table with Betina's at Parkview at the Rams Head Inn bridal show. It really turned out beautiful and we got such an awesome response from all the brides who attended. Below is the invitation collection that goes along with the set up. A collection includes (but is not limited to): invitations, envelopes, address labels, return address labels, response cards, thank you cards, table numbers & escort cards. For this particular collection, I added a band around the invitation and menus. I also added a coral colored pearl to several items for a special touch at the show! Take a look!

This collection can be done with any colors and any font can be substituted. The best part about custom invitations is that they are made however you would like them. You don't have to settle for colors or fonts or a certain design. 

Stop back for more collections coming soon!
