letterpress, crystals & pockets....oh my!

We recently completed this set of invitations that just WOW'ed us! The bride & groom (one of our favs!) are working with Tina of Oh So Fabulous, so we knew the look & feel of their wedding would be nothing less then...well...FABULOUS!

The details!...
With the color scheme of shades of purples, a splash of pink and hints of gold, we were in love! The couple decided on an invite style of an open pocket with the inserts stacking to just show their monogram at the top of the mounted invite. Printed on metallic card stock, the letterpress technique just enhanced these colors to the max. The pockets gave way to a sort of modern inner envelope...each had the guests' first names done in calligraphy (by Laura Hooper Calligraphy) in a gold ink. The metallic plum envelopes were also personalized by hand.

And of course, what's a fabulous invite with out the bling? Each invite was embellished with two Swarovski crystals to really make the monogram pop.

Here's some photos of the process from start to finish! As you know all of our invites are hand assembled & embellished by the two of us!

eye candy!

At last week's Little Black Dress event, we had the honor of designing stationery for two STUNNING table tops designed by Oh So Fabulous. The themes were Alice in Wonderland & a Modern look with whites and silvers...all we have to say is GORGEOUS! These came out absolutely amazing!!!

Check out the photos taken by DmDc Photography...they really captured the look! Beautiful flowers by Stem & Co. (Alice in Wonderland) and Floral Designs by Cindy (Modern). All linens by Cloth Connection and rentals by Something Different Party Rental.

one year later

We can't believe it...but this Sunday was Bernadette & Tony's one year wedding anniversary. How time flies! We figured it's a good time to post pictures from her special day...including her shower!

a wonderful email from overseas

We just received an email from our overseas bride, Justine. Her and her fiance, Moritz, live in Frankfurt and are getting married there on a vineyard. While visiting her family in NJ she came to us for her invites and day-of-stationery. She really wanted to set the mood for this event...and we had a great time doing it. Definitely one of our favs!...

Hi,

You truly exceeded all of my expectations and your prices were very reasonable for custom work. I have received so many compliments on the invitation design it really set the mood up for the event!

All the best,

Justine

a lovely note from one of our brides!

We'd like to share a beautiful thank you card we just received from one of our 2009 brides who we designed day of stationery for...

Thank you for helping us create the perfect wedding theme. Your ideas and artistic visions made captivating place and table cards. Your work accentuates several of the pictures we have selected for our album. Our dream was for an elegant wedding and you helped us achieve that without breaking the budget! Our dream wedding wouldn't have come true without your help. Thanks!

Love,
Yen & Jim
