a custom crest for a classy man - a 70th birthday surprise!

We had a great time designing for this surprise 70th birthday party planned by oh so fab! From the invite to the day of...everything was tied together with the custom crest we designed especially for the birthday boy. The crest included some of his favs (golf, tennis & of course...wine). We also designed the wine labels which were served throughout the party, and were given as the favors! And we absolutely love the custom burlap pillows which showed off the crest.

another one year celebration!

Today Shelley & her husband Ryan will be celebrating their one year anniversary!
What better time to post some photos of the shower, as well as her wedding day!

not just invites!

Although many of you know our company for wedding & event graphic design...we also do many projects for corporate and small businesses.

Below are some photos to take a peek into what else we did during the hectic spring & summer months...

We did many designs for an adorable online doggie boutique called Puppy Kisses, from their online banners to ads to this oversized printed banner they used at a trade show.

Another fun project was for an Oh So Fabulous event for Motorola. We designed blurbs according to their branding to be put on display. (Photos by Jeffrey Vock Photography)

From the save the date to invite to web banner, ads and more...we did the design for a big conference held at Hyatt in Jersey City that was orchestrated by Rio Partners.

As well as some other projects, like the save the date & invite for a golf outing.

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.

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
