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!

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.

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!

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!

Tea time! This is one of my favorite new designs, created in honor of bride Lauren. The invitation is paired with a soft, shimmer pink envelope and a recipe card for guests to fill out and bring to the shower with them. Lauren did such an amazing job of providing me with solid inspiration for her wedding paper goods…stay tuned to see more of what we created for her big day!

Hands down. This is one of my favorite invitations. Ever! I’m not sure if it is the combination of old railroad typography and graphics, the minty shade of green or just the feeling I had when I designed it…..but I loooove this invitation. Congratulations and thank you to new Mommy Jana!

This invitation (like most of my designs!) can be customized to fit your event color scheme. Email for order inquiries.

Another brand new design, custom created for mommy-to-be Hayley. This look is soft, elegant and traditional…a style that you can’t help but love for a little girl! The look was inspired by the Kristaben bedding mom choose for the nursery. The line is called “Flower Garden” and comes in 4 colors- pink, blue, green and ivory. So precious. I drew a floral design resembling the motif stitched on the bedding and added a gingham pattern to the front and back of the invitation for extra flair. LOVE!

Congratulations Hayley!

When I found out my good friend Emily Hewett from A Well Dressed Home was expecting twins AND that she was having a boy and girl, I knew I had to do something extra special for her shower.  It ended up that I not only had the privilege of designing all of the paper goods, but was also one of the hostesses and held the shower at my house too! It truly was a fun day filled with beautiful details and lovely people.

I wanted the invitation to really set the stage for our “Perfect Pair” theme, which was inspired by the lil’ twins themselves. A palette of dusty pink, grey and turquoise and the modern houndstooth pattern continued through to the signage and other paper goods for the event.

And as before any special occasion, I made a trip to LaurieAnna’s Vintage Home in Canton and selected a handful of beautiful dishes and decorative accessories to use at the shower. LOVE.

Congratulations Emily and thank you to the other hostesses for all of your help! Enjoy!

Over 75 baby booties! Grey with brown buttons for the boy and pale pink with a pink bow and button for the lil’ girl.

The invitation was boxed and wrapped with a turquoise ribbon and 2 tags

Each invitation was lined with grey striped tissue paper and included a pair of houndstooth baby booties!

Corresponding wrap around address labels to match. Super chic.

Our main table was filled with all sorts of pretties- the invitation, pairs of baby booties of course, oversized
tissue paper flowers and mercury glassware of all shapes and sizes.

Mercury glass hourglasses from LaurieAnna’s Vintage Home were the perfect touch.
When we added a ribbon and turned them on their side, they looked like rattles!

Pretty candy for guests of course!

To go candy bags with houndstooth tags matching the invitations. Pink and grey striped straws were used for the lemon
water and peach sangria which were served in small mason jars!

Vintage porcelain baby booties decorated the tables throughout and brought the theme to life.

Fruit cups galore! The galvanized tray from LaurieAnna’s was the perfect serving piece for these yummies!

The flowers arrangements consisted of blush roses, blue hydrangeas, cream roses and grey dusty miller leaves.

The cake was made by  The Cake Stand in Mckinney, Texas. They did an
amazing job of creating a design to match the invitation.

The food served was an assortment of Emily’s most craved bits and bites during her pregnancy.

Precious robins egg and white teacups from LaurieAnna’s Vintage Home.

We asked guests to bring a children’s book instead of a card to the shower. Such a cute idea!!

Wishing trees tags filled with words of wisdom and well wishes for the new parents.
A great keepsake for the baby book.

This invitation was created for mommy to be Jamie, whose wedding invitations I designed last year! The inspiration behind the design was Alice Kennedy’s Portobello fabric collection. Fresh and sophisticated, Alice’s textiles add a beautiful pop of color to any room. LOVE. I chose to build off of the geometric dotted pattern….and about 1,000 green and white Photoshop circles later….voila!

Thank you so very much hostess with the mostess Lisa and congratulations once again Jamie! I am incredibly thankful to have clients as wonderful as the both of you.

When my lovely client asked me to design shower invitations for a baby girl, I was thrilled. Then she told me the theme: “Princess Tea Party.” Yes, I was like a little kid on Christmas. My goal was to create a design that was soft, elegant and celebratory of all things baby girl, but not childish. About 150 photoshop layers later, the design was complete. A mix of typography, vintage tea cups, crowns and castles make this design fit for the lil’ princess to be.

Thank you Alex and congratulations to Deanna and Jeremy!

Every year, my fabulous friend and client hosts a lovely “Dear Friends” holiday party.  Creating the invitations for the event is always a treat, as Lisa and I could not have a more similar taste for design. This year, the invitations were printed on 110 lb. Crane lettra and paired with a dark grey, metallic envelope. As you will see, the design is perfectly suited for the event setting….Lisa’s divine, vintage-chic cottage home.

 

Also created for the party were signs labeling all of the yummy food…

 

And so I MUST share a few photos of Lisa’s swoon worthy, make you want to melt home. Every nook and cranny is filled with unique treasures styled in a way that only Lisa knows how. It is a sight to be seen. And then dream about later.

 

A few (of many) perfectly placed focal points in the living room

The details just go on forever…even in the kitchen.

And to top it off, there is an adorable chicken coup in the backyard. Need I say more?

 

Merry Christmas everyone. Thank you so much for stopping by.

This new invitation is quite special…being that it was designed for my amazing grandparents in celebration of their 60th wedding anniversary. SIXTY YEARS! The invitation ensemble was elegant, clean and classy with a black and metallic silver color palette. Perfect for the huge party that was filled with family and friends a few weeks ago in Fort Worth.

My grandparents are my heart. My soul. And I am so inspired by their amazing marriage. Thank you and congratulations G&G!

Brand new baby shower invitation, designed with sweet Southern love. I am totally smitten by this design as the grey and yellow color palette, fonts and graphics are gorgeous mix of modern, rustic and vintage styles. It just feels warm and comfy. I totally envision mason jars, picnic tables and gingham patterned linens paired with the food tent signs created to match the invite. Thank you Miranda for the opportunity to design such adorable pieces for the event and CONGRATS to Mommy to-be Leslie!

This kitchen shower ensemble has to be one of my most favorite designs yet! Hostess Julie started by giving me the brides color palette, which included about 6-7 very bright and bold colors. I proceeded to probe for more details (as I sometimes do…) and was informed that the bride is the “artsy-whimsy” type. My kinda gal! I knew exactly what do.

The invitation was mailed to guests with a recipe card for them to write down their favorite dish and bring to the shower for the bride. The day of paper goods included a custom coffee menu, “Recipe for a Good Marriage” advice cards and tags for the cookie mix filled mason jar favors. So precious. Thank you Julie and congrats to the bride!
