Marissa & Harold

Tammi's sweet niece just recently got married to the man of her dreams, and we were privileged to provide the paper designs for the special day!  Until we get to see all the photos from the talented Photography by Charise, here are a couple photographs of some of our creations.  We are so happy with how they turned out, such softly understated elegance to match the bride!

Vintage Beauty!

 Please indulge us as we plaster photos of this vintage beauty on our page today.  

Yeah.  We love it that much.  

 

Our bride, Rebecca, came to us with a vision, and a very creative history, and what fun we had taking her ideas and making them a reality!   

The reply card is a post card, which gave us more room for all the information needed and even a space for a note to the bride and groom.  Menu choices and best wishes came pouring in to the adorable couple!

 

 And who doesn't love the twine.  Yes.  It is lemon yellow.  And yes, they are getting married at a lemon ranch.  With hot air balloon rides.   Can it get any more perfect?  

 By the time Rebecca came to us, she and her fiancé Greg had already had their engagement shoot featured on the über popular blog Green Wedding Shoes.  This is one talented girl.  And, by the way, Greg is no slouch, either.  He had some pretty creative input too, and our collaboration is the awesomeness you've witnessed above.

The following photos from their engagement photo session were taken by the talented Kurt Boomer.

You can check out the rest of their engagement shoot photos here.

Here are a few more photos just in case you didn't get enough.  Yeah, thought you hadn't.  Just don't drool on the paper...

Pretty in Purple

Remember Amy and Shaun?  We featured their invitations in an earlier post, but we're happy to refresh your memory and add a little look back because we think they're so pretty!  You can see the full post of photos here.

Amy and Shaun came to us from The Vineyards Bridal Show.  From the minute we met with them we knew this was going to be a beautiful day, and we're sure you'll agree!  We'd like to thank the talented and very prompt William Innes Photography for sharing his photos with us so we could share with you!

This is definitely one happy bride!

And even though we know she's mostly happy because she married Shaun, we're thinking the beautiful paper designs may have a little to do with it:)

The different colored crystals at the bottom of the place cards are indicators for what their menu choice is.  Pretty AND practical!

 Gorgeous!

Our popular little program creation.  A perfect way to fit all the information you want in a sweet little folded-off-center design.

 Congratulations to Amy and Shaun, and best wishes for a wonderful future together!

Our Hero

We met Jessie at the Lost Canyons Golf Club Bridal Fair this spring.  Through the course of our consultation and design meetings, we just completely came to adore this beautiful and sweet little bride.  One weekend when her fiancé Austin was home on leave, she brought him by to meet us and check out her design.

The respect and admiration the two of them had for each other was obvious and they were absolutely adorable!  We were so honored to design for them, and we want to thank Austin for his service to us and our country, and to Jessie for her sacrifice while her husband serves.  We are truly grateful for our servicemen and servicewomen and were so blessed to be involved in their special day!

Destination Wedding::Sneak Peek

We were so pleased to be contacted by the Mother of the Groom for this romantic and tropical themed destination wedding.  We loved collaborating with bride, groom, and MOG to put together this design with the mango-colored pocket fold softened by the sheer pink ribbon and just a hint of pink cardstock peeking from under the ecru card stock, and the dreamy heart watermark bringing in the romance.

 These have been addressed and sent, and now we're on to designing the rest of the order -- table numbers, name cards, seating assignment chart...  Is it okay to have this much fun at work?!

We've been pinned!

We don't know if you have heard of this little thing called Pinterest that is kinda sweeping the internet nation.  Yeah, well, we're on it.  The most recent photo shoot that we got to be a part of was featured on a little wedding blog -- maybe you've heard of it -- STYLE ME PRETTY (yeah, it's huge), and our designs made it to Pinterest!!

The photo shoot highlighted The Nakate Project, an enterprise which gives African women the opportunity to earn a living for their families by selling their beautiful handmade jewelry.   We were honored to support such a worthwhile endeavor.

And, you know, all the little details that pull it all together.  We did that too.

So today was quite a big day for us.  We were featured on one of the biggest wedding blogs out there.  Our designs are being repinned as we speak and we're as inspired as ever. 

You can check out the Boho Chic styled shoot here.  And to pin the designs on Pinterest, just click on any image above.

Happy Pinning!

Featured!

We are so excited to have been featured on Grey Likes Weddings (a gorgeous blog we have long loved and followed)!  We were asked by Christina Richardson of SCV Makeup Artist to collaborate with a group of talented women for a 1940's Hollywood wedding photo shoot, with, shall we say, a little twist.

Christina, along with Samantha Santana of Primary Petals, dreamed up  the Beauty vs. Beast theme.  So Hollywood meets The Woods, as in swarming-with-critters-woods.  Yes, with a twist, but under the incredibly talented direction of Christina and Samantha, a gorgeous shoot unfolded!

We met these ladies through Creative Connection LA, and we are consistently amazed at their talent and vision.  We are planning on posting about Creative Connection LA soon, but in the meantime, check it out on Facebook.  Talk about inspiration!  The talent represented at these meet-ups is no joke!

Can you believe these gorgeous flowers?  And we're not big fans of snakes, but what girl doesn't love a little snakeskin purse or shoe now and then?  So a snakeskin wrapped bouquet doesn't seem so far-fetched after all!

Vintage plates were the perfect showcase for our name cards, double backed with ebony and burnt sugar cardstock, and the menu, backed with ebony and slate gray.

Isn't this fun?!  We are so pleased and impressed with how everything came out!  We want to give our thanks to Christina and Samantha for inviting us to be involved with this shoot (our very first!) and to all the incredibly creative women who pooled their talents to bring their vision to life:

One-Year-Old's Birthday Bash

Sweet little Emma just turned one!  Her mommy asked us to design her party papers, and we had such fun!  We started with the fabric Ashley bought as the inspiration for her party theme -- deep pink, purple, lime green and turquoise blue flowers, birds, and dots.  What girl doesn't love that?!

Her party favors declared, "I'm bubbling over with thanks that you came to my party! ~Emma"  She's just one and she's already quotable!

The Sweet Little Cakes by Donna that are ALWAYS a big hit!  We had more than one person ask us, "Can we eat them yet?"  Yes, they're that good!

 

The Birthday Girl herself with her Auntie.  She's very pleased with her party.
