I think you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn’t like a good peony. It’s the kind of thing you want to fill a room with and roll around in (second only to a room full of golden retriever puppies). It’s an incredibly gorgeous flower that comes in a variety of colors, shapes + sizes. […]
I’ve been hard at work over the last few weeks. Okay, I’ve been hard at work since I decided to take this business dream out for a spin, but more specifically I’ve been in full-on planning mode. 2014 wedding season preparation is under way for lots of newly engaged couples, and I’ve been taking a hard look […]
Lately I’ve been working on a lot of branding projects. I really love logo design and creating a look + feel for a business. I always give my clients instructions on how to get inspired, because often times they’re inclined to put the cart before the horse. They want to get the website running and the business cards […]
I hope everyone had a lovely Mother’s Day! In honor of this occasion, I’m taking the opportunity to dedicate this week’s post to my Mom.I definitely get my artistic chops from my Momma. She was crafting + creating before the term “DIY” even existed, and whatever project I came home with from school we always […]
My Valentine’s Day card was such a hit, I thought I’d do another one for Mother’s Day! Don’t forget to show your Momma some love this year…It’s formatted for easy printing on an 8.5×11″ sheet with crop marks. Download it here, write a special note inside + be prepared for lots of motherly affection!
I originally wrote this post about vintage stamps for wedding invitations back in 2013 (10 years ago!). It’s such an important topic—one that my couples are asking about more + more each season—that I knew it was time for an update. I hope this post about using vintage stamps and how to use special […]
I love me some wedding signs. Obviously I’ll look for any opportunity to infuse paper into a party, but in general decor on the chairs at a reception makes for some amazing photo ops. My striped chair sign set is a big seller at the Etsy store, but I love doing custom ones for my […]
Today I’m sharing advice for vendors at bridal expos. When I googled “advice for vendors at expos” I came up with diddly squat, so hopefully this post will help others!Bridal expos get a really bad rap. Many are held in football stadium-sized venues where ultimately the brides are just looking for free stuff. There, I said […]
Nautical weddings in New England have been on the brain, as I’ve had a slew of clients lately who are getting married at yacht clubs. Many of them at our consultations when describing their wedding have said, “it’s nautical…but we’re not really boat people”. I can’t help but think of the beginning scene of “Wedding […]
As promised, here is the first installment of my “Invitation Details” series, which was introduced when guest blogging for my girl Brooke (from Brooke Allison Photo). Today I’m starting off with one of my favorites: envelope liners! It’s kind of become my signature thing, and clients are constantly asking for them this season. It is a […]
