Happy Tuesday everyone!

I have been hard at work on some lovely designs lately. In addition to a digital proof, I always send clients photographs of their invitation when it entails extras such as lace, ribbon, a tag, and other embellishments. This gives the client a visual of what the invitation looks like assembled and how it will appear when guests open the pretty little package!

Below is a sneak peek of a few new designs in the works. Interested in more details? Simply send an email with your event information. I would love to hear from you!

Be sure to stay tuned for the finished, complete looks of these designs + more!

Hello everyone! A brand new design viewed first by none other than YOU! Perfect for a kitchen shower or tea party, this invitation features a chevron pattern in a few of Pantone’s top color choices for this year. In addition to the emerald green and nectarine, a blush and gold design are also seen in the photos (two shades of pretty I just can’t live without!)

When designing this invitation, I had a few different types in mind:  the be-spoke bride hoping to stock the kitchen at her next shower, the modern mommy hosting a tea party for the gals….the invitation is perfect for any stylish soiree.

Additional patterns and colors also available.

Interesting in ordering? Please send an email with your event details!

I loved designing this save the date invitation for sweet Carolyn and Dan. The inspiration? New York of course! A mix of fun typography and graphics in bright blue and green make up the front and back of the design.

Their wedding style? Carolyn spoke the words “country club chic- a little preppy with an elements of whimsical fun” and I knew just what do to. What great inspiration!

I cannot wait to share their wedding invitation suite as well. Stay tuned!

Yipeeeee! Another feature on Style Me Pretty! What an honor to be part of this incredible baby shower photographed by Anne Roberts and styled by Dawn of Something Vintage Rentals.

And when I say “french-country inspired picnic” well…need I say more? Totally in love with the vintage decor and dreamy setting of this shower.  And the tablescape of delectable treats. WOW! The delightful details just go on and on.

The invitation designed for this event features french scripts and graphics, along with a kraft brown sleeve and super wide antique lace. It was a joy to create.

Here is a wedding you are sure to be inspired by. Filled with handcrafted details, one of a kind decor, and that sweet, rustic charm that we love, I just continue to ooh and awe over the personal touches that flood this event. It is no wonder it was one of my absolute favorite weddings and also featured on Style Me Pretty!

Working with Dawn on her wedding paper goods was truly a creative endeavor. We spent many months collaborating on her invitation design and working to create something that was truly reflective of her big day. We knew we had to incorporate lace, burlap, kraft paper and “the chair.” The chair? Yep! Over time, Dawn collected 120 vintage chairs for the seating at her wedding. She painted most the them aqua (her colors were coral and aqua) and they served as the most beautiful, bold backdrop for her rustic barn wedding. Her invitation ended up being something that could only be Dawn and Anthony’s.

Below are just a few of the GORGEOUS images from the big day taken by Bobbi and Mike.  To view more, visit the image gallery over at Style Me Pretty!

And I must add…since Dawn’s wedding she has started her own vintage china and furnishings rental business called Something Vintage Rentals. Check it out!

The beautiful couple! Dawn’s dreamy dress is by none other than Monique Lhuillier

 The collection of vintage, hand painted chairs. Lace and burlap table cloths, distressed barn wood, clusters of crystal chandeliers….a sea a vintage prettiness that came together in the most perfect way.

The stunning place settings featuring Dawn’s vintage china and burlap chargers. LOVE!
To see more of Dawns collections available for rent, visit her site Something Vintage Rentals

 The wedding invitation and RSVP postcard. The invitation was backed in burlap fabric. The doily design on the RSVP tied in perfectly with the doily lined kraft brown envelopes. Also included in Dawn’s invitation package was a custom designed map. Will follow up with more images later!

Button table numbers and lace table clothes!

The place cards at each seat tied in the invitation design and contained a personal note for every guest.

We made Dawn’s programs a multipage stacked format and again, incorporated the chair and flourishes from her invitation.
Each program was tied together with twine.

And the cake? Precious! I adore the little vintage birdies and lace details.

Again, I will follow up with more images of Dawn’s invitation design. Until then, enjoy!

A fresh and modern design in light blue, grey and deep aqua. Mommy-to-be has super hip taste and was hanging real guitars in the nursery. How fun is that?! I love this invitation because there is a hint of retro, a hint of modern and a dash of vintage. Below is the photo from mom’s Pinterest board that I used as inspiration when designing. You can see how I pulled from the color palette and geometric shape design seen on the ceiling.

Congrats to the new parents and thank you hostesses for the opportunity to design for the occasion!

Well, our beautiful baby girl is finally here! Tara Noelle was born on October 15th weighing 5 pounds 8 ounces. Life since her arrival has been amazing and busy. No one can early truly prepare you for what life will be like once you become a parent. Somehow though, you just make it work! We slowly but surely getting used to balancing work, family, baby, and everything in general. It feels good to FINALLY be blogging and sharing the news of Tara’s birth. Along with being a good mommy, I also hope to post more! Have I mentioned that I have almost 100 custom designed invitations that I am yet to reveal??? Goodness. 

We had an awesome newborn photography session with Arden Prucha Photography when Tara was about 2 weeks old. Let me just tell you…photographing a newborn is an ART FORM! Luckily, Arden and her crew have it down. They were so patient, gentle and creative.  She did such an amazing job of capturing Tara’s sweet tininess. I am forever grateful and truly in awe of the Arden’s talent.

Some of my favorite shots are the ones of baby Tara lying on my wedding dress. The dress was the perfect shabby chic, romantic, vintage backdrop….just the look I was going for of course.

To see more images of Tara and her shabby chic nursery, be sure to visit Arden’s blog!  Her work is truly divine and inspirational and she is constantly adding awesome tips, how-to’s, and images to her site!

Simply adoring this new design which was created for a rehearsal dinner on the Napa Valley Wine Train. How amazing does that sound?! I drew my inspiration from authentic vintage train tickets and paired it with a kraft brown envelope to enhance that old world feel. Congratulations to Ryan and Allison and thank you for the opportunity to create such a fun invitation!

Such a pleasure to create the paper goods for this fabulous inspiration shoot, which was just featured on Every Last Detail blog! So gorgeous. I am particulary obsessing over the raised green ivy charges and floral chandelier. Take my breath away!!! Thanks to the incredible team of vendors who made the prettiness happen.
