i'm dreaming of a blue christmas party...

i usually try to think 'outside the box', well this one is a 'in the box' invitation....for a executive holiday party. each adorned with a silver/glittery ornament. something so special about opening a beautiful box.

reiley and scott's wedding is coming up soon...i thought i would show you the menu ideas and her custom vintage escort/postcards. i love the cork backing on the menu, this brings the vintage nautical look together. each guest will have a postcard from the destination they will be sitting at. and yet another i can't wait for pictures event!

cigars are a great addition to any celebration! heather and jon are having a cigar table at their wedding reception. so they asked if i could customize some cigar box labels and signage. i love the fact that there are romeo and juliet cigars. made my job easy.....

wedding photo box

i had to share the most beautiful birthday gift i received. from my brother and sister in-law. this beautiful box was custom created by sissel byington photography. i think any bride would love to keep her photos and keepsakes in this beautiful box. the back of the box featured the words of van morrison's "someone like you" the first dance. just so special. http://www.sisselbyingtonphotography.com/

~p.s. people have been contacting me about ordering their own box...you can do so by simply emailing sissel byington at the above link.

more napa wedding details...

congratulations meghan and mino! their beautiful wedding is this weekend. i thought i would share some more details from their wedding. her escort cards were placed on corks and then embedding into a vintage trunk lined with moss. (can't wait for those pictures) the table names were spots the couple has traveled so vintage signs were the element they chose. and the programs were a 4x9 amethyst with hemp ties. i love her original sonnet on the program. so romantic and them. it seems to be a escort card/program/menu season here....many more to come. have a blessed weekend!

take me out to a 'ball game' wedding!

my favorite gals at 'salt harbor' wedding planning did this FAB wedding.

the couple, were huge baseball fans, and so even though the wedding colors were turquoise and creme, they wanted to somehow bring baseball and their favorite team into the wedding concept. a slightly vintage approach to baseball was used, stringing escort cards as pennants and naming the tables after the Red Sox best players throughout the decades. custom cross-word puzzles were provided for the guests to work on at the cocktail tables. and of course peanuts and cracker jacks were served! what a fun wedding!

cute as a bug...

i just finished a cute little 1st birthday invitation, and thought i would share it. i think ava's ladybug theme party will be adorable. happy 1st birthday lil' ava!

Custom Wedding Wine Labels

final sample...


the couples choice...

loving the napa wine details, that meghan and mino are having me design. each quest will get a split of wine at their place setting. we kept with the vintage napa theme and gave it some tasteful whimsy. we incorporated the same custom logo from their wax seals.

congratulations jackie and craig

italian pottery inspired invitation

the slit cut in the crisp white card was woven with the yellow cardstock.

camille and tim gave me the privilege of designing their wedding invitation, inspired by the beautiful colors used in Italian ceramics. warm yellows, indigo blues and sage green on a canvas of crisp white. the new u.s. postal 'love stamp' coordinated beautifully against the indigo envelopes. my favorite feature is the cut weave of the yellow into the white cardstock. camille liked the option of a clean postcard reply.
