Notions and snapshots that shape our day to day.

We were so excited to see Lauren and Robby’s gorgeous wedding, designed by the gals at Loluma, featured on the Smitten blog Valentine’s Day.  Everything about this wedding was stunning and we were thrilled to work with Lauren and her mom on some very noteworthy wedding stationery.  A great snippet of the welcome packets were featured, but you can see more from this beautiful affair by visiting the Smitten Blog.  Thanks Ladies!

Happy Thursday friends!  I am back from Turks and Caicos and happy to report that Mendi and Adam’s wedding was perfect.  The bride was stunning, the groom, very handsome, the food, especially the lobster, was delicious and the weather was just what every bride dreams it would be on their special day, amazing!  As soon as pictures surface, I will be sure to post some for you.

Back at work, we have been busy bees fielding inquiries, meeting with newly engaged brides, working on spring/summer wedding invitations and fall save the dates.  We have some fun new designs in the works and cannot wait to share them with you.  Rachael especially has been hard at work painting wedding venue scenes for new brides Christin and Corey.  From the Ocean Course at Kiawah to the Hope Town Lighthouse in the Bahamas, these illustrations give wedding guests a sneak peak into their big day.

Recently, we have also used photo rendering techniques to set the tone for our September bride, Jennifer.  Her wedding was held at the breathtaking Swan House in Atlanta, Georgia.  Jennifer’s colors were gray and white with a touch of green.  The black and white rendering of the Swan House, mixed with the elegant calligraphy by Elizabeth Porcher Jones, was perfect for a deckled edge save the date to introduce her wedding guests to this grand location.

Call the studio today and let us paint the perfect picture for you!

This past June, my dear friend Lauren married her long time love, Keith in beautiful Asheville, North Carolina.  Lauren was such a joy to work with throughout her engagement.  We infused her love of pink and black coupled with a mix of modern and classy elements to create a one-of-a-kind invitation seen here on our website. Flash forward to June 18th, wedding day!  Incorporating some of the initial elements used in the invitation, we created signature accent pieces up to the last minute, as you will see in the photos below, such as programs, votive wraps, food signs and more to tie it all together and make for quite the lasting impression!  Congratulations LC and Keith… we are so happy for you two!

Taking Shape…

September 15, 2011 in Invitations

die-cut invitation set

A dear friend of ours is getting married next weekend, and we are thrilled to be a part of the festivities! We especially loved working with her as she gave us the creative freedom, with very little specifications, to design a one-of-a-kind invitation set unlike anything we have done before.  Taking into account the bride and groom’s appreciation for understated elegance with a touch of whimsy, incorporating her love of blue and green, and acknowledging the wedding’s location on the Kiawah River, we began brainstorming on invitation ideas to set the stage for what will be a most magnificent wedding.  The end result… fabulous!  Die-cutting this simple invitation gave us the ability to marry both her love of understated elegance with that hint of whimsy she adored.  A sketch of the marsh scene was incorporated on the front panel of the invitation as well as on the reply set.  Both panels were held together by a striped blue and white bellyband which will be repeated on her day of stationery and through linen accents.  More photos to come!  To complete the set, we chose a kraft thick-e-lope to create a home for the invitation, sealed with personal address labels to each guest.  Well done!
