Christine & Jorge's Wedding

Hello all,
It's been a short while since I last blogged. Between the current projects we're working on, the website redesign, consultations with 2009 brides et al it's been quite busy. But in all I'm very excited at the progress.

First I'd like to say Congratulations to the brides that got married on October 18th, 2008 -
Patricia and Michael
LaNissa and Dietrich
Sandra and Michael


Happy Married Life to you all!
Take a look at some of Sandra and Michael's ceremony stationery. For her table cards, she wanted the tables to be named after several places that meant something special to them. For example, Ciao Trattoria was where they had their first date. They returned to this return where Michael proposed!!! Absolutely Sweet!!!

Christine & Jorge's Wedding Invitations

I spoke with Christine right before Hurricane Ike hit the gulf coast. I remember we were unsure of the impact Ike would have so we tentatively set up a time to meet the following week. I met with Christine and her fiance, Jorge and they were such a lovely couple. Because the wedding was really close, we had to work mighty fast on the invitations. Good thing was Christine fell in love with the "Vivien and Peter" invitation we had done. I remember she kept starring at the invite just to be sure she still loved it!!

We began work immediately and I'm glad we were able to complete the invites in time for her to mail them to her guests. Enjoy!

SNEAK PEEK OF NEW WEBSITE

As you may know, I've been working on the redesign of the website for some weeks. It has taken longer than I anticipated because of all the other projects we have going on. But I am very very very excited at the progress. I hope to have the new site up before the end of this month (knock on wood!!! :))
Take a peek and let me know what you think. Did I mention that I'm very excited?!!!

Enjoy the week and new month!!!

Boxed Wedding Invitations

Hello all,
I hope you're having a lovely weekend (even though we all wish for longer weekends!) I've been working on a few different projects. One of which is the redesign of the new website. I'm very excited about that! I should be able to show a sneak peek of it later on. It's a lot of work designing it but it's been worth it so far.

Today, I present Kathryn and Derrick's wedding invitations. I met Kathryn back in March (Yes, March!!!) and we clicked from the onset. She has a very vibrant personality and quite funny. She wanted her invitations delivered to her guests in boxes. The theme for her wedding is very warm elegant feel but also formal. She also wanted to incorporate pearls with the invitations since that was also going to be used at the wedding. After working with her over the past months, her invitations have finally gone out to guests and has been receiving rave reviews. Which I always love to hear!!! Ladies and Gentlemen, I present Kathryn and Derrick's boxed wedding invitations...
