Real Wedding - Stephanie & Jay - 09/06/09

I'm SO excited about this real wedding post. Stephanie and Jay were married on September 6, 2009 in Big Sky, Montana. First let me say that Stephanie and Jay are the sweetest couple. In the span of the year, we must of exchanged hundreds of emails and phone calls. In the midst of a phone call, Allie and I mentioned how we thought this was going to be such a cool wedding and we'd love to come...Stephanie's response..."Sure, we'd love to have you!". Like I said, a great couple!

So, when I got the email from Stephanie last night with the link to her pro pics, I was overjoyed and couldn't wait to dive into the details from their big day in Big Sky. And, oh boy, they are awesome! Their photographer is Larry Stanley - Montana Wedding Photographer. (Check out his two websites for his portfolio and resource site.) In a comment Stephanie made on Larry's blog she says that she knew from their first phone call that he was the perfect photographer for them. I think you will agree when you see all of the photos below.

A big thanks to Larry for responding to my request for photos in less than a day! You are phenomenal! :) And, Larry promises me a link to Stephanie and Jay's album, when it is complete, so I'll be sure to share that with you.

Finally, as you enjoy all of these pictures, you might remember some of our older blog posts with shots of Stephanie and Jay's save the date, invitation and other details. We loved designing everything for their natural and elegant big day. Hope you like everything too! Enjoy!

Real Wedding - Heather & Christopher - 10/09/09

Heather and Christopher were married in Baltimore, Maryland on October 9, 2009. In addition to their awesome invitation (click here to see it), we designed their programs, table numbers, place cards, menus and lots of signs...even for the "King of Bling" (aka Heather's son). Below are a few pictures of their table numbers and programs. I'm also including two awesome pictures of the happy couple (from D Bryant Photo) -- we're designing thank you notes with these pics, as we speak! Enjoy!

In the details...

Around the holidays...mid-December...we are going to rolling out a new website and blog! So exciting! Not to worry, it will have all the features you have come to love, but with a new look, lots more pictures and will be easier to navigate!!!! Wahoo!

I've been enlisting the help of my fav and fab photographer friend (say that three times fast), Jen Lowe, who has been taking awesome shots of my work, along with some fun detail shots of ribbon, cardstock and more! These detail shots are just so awesome that I couldn't wait to share! Here are two...but check back in December to see the new website and more of these great details. Enjoy!

Today's Tables

Okay, if you are a regular follower of my posts, you have probably realized that I've been slacking this week. Sometimes life just gets the best of you, and I have to admit that I'm in the midst of 'life'. And this week, 'life' includes a sick child, my own sinus infection, serious lack of sleep and no studio manager (Allie is on vacay in Jamaica this week...so jealous!).

So, bear with me this week and I promise to have lots of new pictures and fun very soon! But, because I can't leave you with empty handed, today, I'm sharing some pictures of a few different tablescapes that we've helped decorate! A lot of these came from wedding shows and other events, so you might have not have seen them before...enjoy!

Puppy Love

Kylie and Josh are friends of my cousin, Laura, so I was very excited when they came to me to design their wedding stationery. For their save the date, Kylie and Josh wanted to do a photo magnet with one of the pictures they took by the water with the pretty sunset behind them. Kylie emailed me some great pictures to choose from...but she did say that she really wanted to use one of the photos that had their puppy in it too! I couldn't dissapoint them...especially when there is a dog involved! Kylie came and picked up their save the dates this morning. She just loved them and I hope you do too! Enjoy!

One of those days...

...when time just slips away and blogging happens at 9pm! Eek! But, the good news is that I do have a special invitation to share with you.

In addition to weddings, babies and birthdays, we do our fair share of corporate invitations. I've had the pleasure of designing many invitations for The Providence Center and their many events and fundraisers. The Providence Center provides services that allow individuals with disabilities to enjoy increased self-determination in leading a more independent, valuable and functioning role in society. As a parent of a child who was diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, I am happy to support this wonderful organization.

Each year, The Providence Center has a donor appreciation event and we've designed the invitations for the last two years. Luckily, a former bride, JoAnne, works at The Providence Cetner and keeps me busy! :) This year's invite was a simple ivory pearl card with a delicate vine design in sage green with a brown border and text. Enjoy!

Happy Halloween!

Hope everyone has a spooky weekend!
