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!
A beautiful ivory and kraft brown lace wedding invitation suite.
The pearl and rhinestone buckle adds just a hint of glam!
Pink die cut birdcage invitation tied with lace. Simply divine.
A modified version of the very popular pocket envelope baby shower invitation. So precious!
A super romantic and gosh darn pretty blush and grey wedding invitation suite!
Totally drooling over the how this Save the Date invitation turned out. I can’t wait to share the finished look.

Such a pleasure to create the paper goods for this fabulous inspiration shoot, which was just featured on Every Last Detail blog! So gorgeous.

Well, I have some very special news! I am really excited to share that my husband and I are expecting our first baby…and its a GIRL! She is set to arrive late October and we cannot wait. I am so thankful that my dream of becoming a Mommy is finally coming true. I know this lil baby will be the biggest blessing we’ve ever known…
So of course the nursery planning is in full force! Right now…my ideas are a little all over the place. I love so many things and narrowing it down is super difficult. Despite how excited I have been to decorate a nursery, my indecisiveness has me stalling. Anyone relate?
I have started a Pinterest board titled “Nursery Inspiration” and all of the images below can be found there. Wanna follow me on Pinterest? Just click on link to the right! If you have any ideas, suggestions or resources you want to share for cute baby stuff, please let me know! I would love to hear from you.

Every time I go shopping I am always snapping photos for friends and clients who have asked me to be on the look out for unique finds….whether it be burlap table cloths, vintage china, bridesmaid gifts, floral handkerchiefs or antique wall art. I have about 600 images on my i-phone of beautiful, vintage pretties I’ve found while treasure hunting. Because I can’t bare to delete them, I thought I would start sharing them. Hopefully you will find inspiration and enjoy some of my favorite shopping spots too.
Saturday, I made a visit to Alston’s Old Home Place, located in the Garland’s downtown square. Alston’s is definitely one of my “go-to” favorites. The prices are fair and affordable so I rarely walk away empty handed. Here are some photos I took while purusing through his lovely store and the items I just couldn’t leave without.

I feel like it’s been ages since I last set aside a few hours to just play with pretty details….AND then share it with everyone! So what brought this on? Several of the brides I am currently designing for have an affinity for luxury, romantic details, and vintage touches. LOVE! Below are a handful of photos I took of various paper goods, textiles and embellishments to spark inspiration for their designs. I needed this creative therapy.
I will be back soon with some of my new work. There is so much to share. Thank you for dropping by!

This new shower invitation was created for a fabulous bride getting married this fall in Guatemala! We really wanted to set the stage for their destination wedding through this invitation. Jennifer was inspired by the intricate patterns and bright, bold colors used in Guatemalan fabrics and had the genius idea of using tying this into the design. The outcome is fun, festive and bound to get guests excited about the shower, where they will even be featuring authentic Guatemalan cuisine!

I need a vacation. We all do, right??? Well, in the spirit of traveling and fabulous indie fashion, I share with you some of my favorite must-have finds from Modcloth.com. So affordable and incredibly A-dorable. Of course I love their vintage inspired clothing but this place is also a stellar spot for unique gifts and home goods. I am really obsessing over the Paris inspired cupcake kit. How perfect would this be for a kitchen shower gift? Enjoy my friends and keep checking back…I promise to get back to blogging more soon!

I love pairing simple, organic elements with ultra feminine materials such as frilly chiffon, lace, or pearls. Rustic chic just seems to be the best of both style worlds and can easily be achieved by taking advantage of natures finest elements and incorporating lots of texture…with a dash of girly glamour.
So from me to you….a rustic collage of prettiness, which happens to include of number of Memento Designs photos! Enjoy!
