So Janelle asked me to create her wedding invitation, and I was thrilled! We worked very hard to get the perfect combination of colors and textures for her, to set the tone of her gorgeous lush garden romance feel. The wedding was set at the Boojum Tree, which is one of the most unique places to have a wedding. The invitation is a smooth sand colored metallic pocketfold, and upon opening, reveals a soft pink shimmery floral textured cardstock. The inner card is matted with a darker sand, and the raised printing sits perfectly onto the premium ivory cardstock. The front of the invitation is adorned with coordinating patterns and a black satin ribbon that ties around the entire invitation. Now no item (per Janelle) is complete without crystals… so we added some soft pink crystals to the front and inside of the invitation. The pocket of the invitation was lined with the pink floral cardstock, and fit the two inserts snugly for their guests. Of course the fun doesn’t stop there! The invitation is placed into a matching envelope, lined with the pink floral paper, and then placed into an outer envelope, by which Janelle outsourced calligraphy for her addresses. Talk about a fabulous presentation for her gorgeous wedding!
I also created matching elements such as the bird cage sign, escort card signage, menus, and programs for her event.
Might I add, that I of course attended…. I attached some of my personally favorite photos…and we had an amazing time (even being over 5 months pregnant)! It was stepping into a romance novel. The flowers, the photobooth, the chandeliers, the CANDY TABLE (hello!). We had a great time, and best of all, I got to see my beautiful friend walk down the aisle with her gorgeous soul mate.
Love you hammie, I know you will have the happiest “ever after” !
I also have the privelege of being part of this wedding as it has been featured on Style Me Pretty! Click here for more fabulous photos and inspiration for this gorgeous wedding!
So I created this beautiful baby shower invitation…. for myself! The birth of my second son was fast approaching, and I was insisting to do something different and unique for his nursery. I found this beautiful vintage “retro rocket” fabric see here, and my mom sewed some gorgeous details for his room with it… the window valance, the crib sheet, changing table pad & a soft chenille blankie. <3 Anyhow, my mom insisted on throwing me a very small brunch with just family and a few friends, and so I had to create something fun. I know it was my second child, but he deserved some attention too!
This invitation is unique because it pulls open, and the inner card flips up to reveal the invitation details. I chose a deep metallic green & added orange accents along with some robots, and planet inspired cardstock….it turned out just the way I had envisioned.
This invitation is available in a multitude of colors and patterns, and can be turned horizontally and is offered in a square too! Just another fabulous pre-cut item from Envelopments !
My child, Enzo is just over two, and he is literally obsessed with fruits & veggies… I know, I know… enjoy it while it lasts huh? well here he is- enjoying a bedtime snack (nectarine) in the sink!
LOL
I love these moments
I was searching some online stores for hand made Italian papers and started reading about how fabulous the city of Amalfi is in Italy. The crazy thing is that I have been there… and know first hand about how enchanting this little micro zone is. It is so beautiful, so inspiring. Everything in Italy is awesome: the bread, the wine, the water, the air…. and the people! I started reading about how they create the “Italian Carnivale” or the Mardi Gras masks, and remembered my pictures from that area, and how I was truly amazed at their masks. This is a pic I took in Venice actually. I have it framed and hanging in my bedroom
Well, onto my continued search for that paper…….
Love your blog!
