I’m so excited to finally share this gorgeous eco-friendly styled shoot we did last spring, which was recently featured on Oh Lovely Day.

On one of my daily blogs, I read about an exercise where you write a letter to yourself for the next year, reflecting on your goals + dreams as if they already happened.

The holiday season is an interesting time for a stationery designer. As I explain to other wedding vendors, imagine if all your clients had the same wedding date – pretty intense! But fortunately this year I was not drowning in orders, and got to work with mostly just friends, family + special vendors on their […]

Today I’m sharing some day-of paper details from one of our gorgeous fall weddings at Hopkins Vineyard. This one was a great collaboration with Amy Champagne Events, and was beautifully captured by BSC Photo! Amy had these great vintage-looking frames that we paired with chalkboard-inspired table numbers. And the team at Fleurescent never disappoints with […]
