Maggie & Gennady Get Married!


Maggie and Gennady first came to me to design their Save the Date. Towards the end of our meeting they told me about the most amazing little creation I have ever seen! One of their favorite movies is the cartoon "UP". For the proposal, Gennady commissioned an artist to re-create the UP house and turn it into a ring box that actually opens and houses the ring! I was blown away after seeing a few pictures of it, and knew the photos HAD to be used for the save the date postcard.

For their wedding invitation, I went in a more formal direction using a matte purple pocket. The invitation portion was 2 layers of purple metallic paper and the printed portion was on an opal metallic. For Maggie's love of "bling" I added a Swarovski stone on the monogram seal.

Becky & Tommy Get Married!


Despite Hurricane Irene hitting just 2 days after their wedding, the weather held out for Becky and Tommys big day! The adorable couple celebrated at the Bridgeview Yacht Club on Long Island, New York. The Yacht Club is on the water, so Becky chose to go with a beach theme for her wedding.

For her invite, she chose a purple metallic clutch pocket style, with the pull out portion of the invite having 3 layers of paper. I used 2 shades of purple metallic paper with a white metallic paper for the top. The clutch pocket was wrapped with a satin purple ribbon accented with 3 Swarovski crystals.

Angela & Ted Say "I DO"



YAY FOR ANGELA + TED!

Angela and Ted were married in Seattle this past Labor Day weekend. The ceremony kicked off the night at Gas Works Park, which showcased Seattles beautiful skyline... ahhhh so beautiful! The night continued with dinner and dancing at The Palace Ballroom, owned by the famous Seattle chef Tom Douglas. yum yum yum
I am slightly biased, because Angela is my sister in law - but what a wedding to remember! - and what a beautiful bride :O) ...Ted looked quite handsome as well...

Angelas wedding colors were purple and white, with accents of polka dots. (she happened to wear a fabulous Amsale dress with subtle polka dots) For her invite, I chose a raised polka dot purple paper for the background, with an overlay of metallic grey paper and the top layer being a white metallic. Her response card was a cute mad-libs style postcard, letting her guests express their creative side, along with requesting a song for play during the wedding.
