Spring Wedding Elegance With Some Serious Flower Power

November 3, 2017

Spring Wedding Elegance With Some Serious Flower Power was recently published! Working with a team of talented vendors on a wedding is one of my greatest joys.  I adore that everyone with different talents brings their skill to a project to make a magnificent piece of collaborative art.  The event will communicate all the feelings the Bride and Groom want to convey to their guests through each piece.  This wedding was definitely full of thought and life!  You can see more on Style Me Pretty but I wanted to shout out to my fantastic vendors and show just a bit here.

Dallas, Texas Arlington Hall ceremony reception

I used my Talia calligraphy for the table signs, table numbers, escort cards and place cards.  The blue and taupe combination was really dreamy and kept the stationery feeling spring and full of elegance.  The escort cards were displayed on the bride’s family silver serving trays.  It was such a nice way to bring a bit of home into the reception.

This was the perfect set up for a spring garden stroll after the ceremony.  Bows and Arrows really did a splendid job with all the floral pieces looking right at home in the gardens.

The reception tent at Arlington Hall kept the Spring Wedding Elegance With Some Serious Flower Power going.  I’m a sucker for a clear top and some twinkle lights though.  The low and lush florals make a perfect statement on crisp white linen covered tables.

Hand Calligraphy Invitations in Charcoal

December 22, 2016

Hand calligraphy invitations in charcoal are a trend I hope never goes away. And I love working with Bella Figura on their calligraphy wedding invitations.  The nice feature is that every couple has options to customize their invitations so they do not look like another one out there.  This really shows when calligraphy is selected.  This couple chose my Rook hand with grey letterpress and it turned out stunning.  More from the Bella Figura Blog:

Esther and Joey chose hand calligraphy wedding invitations for their winter wedding in Brooklyn. With the help of our friends at Paper Moon they used our Ambrosia design as inspiration and made it their own with a custom submitted monogram and submitted metallic paper in a pale neutral tone that complimented the charcoal and rose gold palette.

Romantic Wedding Invitation

December 20, 2016

This romantic wedding invitation was created by the talented Ceci New York back in 2014.  I had the immense joy of providing the calligraphy for the invitation as well as envelope addressing and seating cards.  The letterpress and rose gold foil treatment was forward thinking 2 years ago (hard to believe it’s been that long!) and her illustrated florals are gorgeous!  Everything was wrapped in a laser cut wrap to keep the parts together. We used my Talia script and it provided the most perfect amount of romance for this invitation.

Here is a photo of the whole suite. I love the envelope addressing in grey to not make everything too blingy.  But the seating cards turned out to be a favorite.  The calligraphy ink is actually a rose gold shimmer (just couldn’t photograph it!) and matched the foil perfect.  I love how they used the floral motif 2 different ways for the seating cards.  It was perfect for this intimate celebration.

Fall wedding invitation 

October 31, 2016

These fall wedding invitations really have me all heart eyes. They are a bit moody from the Victorian feeling illustration, the perfect color of charcoal and mixed with a modern script calligraphy… these invitations are simply lovely.

Luxury Austin Texas Wedding – Martha Weddings

August 19, 2016

This luxury Austin Texas wedding was featured in Martha Weddings and I am thrilled to share it with you!  The team of creatives was outstanding so be sure to checkout everyone involved below but I do want to shout out to some of the idea makers: Design & Planning by The Wildflowers, Stationery by Southern Fried Paper, stunning photography by Ryan Ray and gorgeous floral by The Southern Table.  This is what happy wedding dreams are made of and it was such an honor for me to play a part in it.

Well, I have to say it… these are some of my very favorite wedding invitations created so far.  I adore the modern script, clean classic letterpress in blue on thick paper and can we talk about the stunning envelope liner?  WOW! It is feminine without being girly, the blue tones are dreamy and the modern script keeps it fresh looking.  The envelope addressing was actually in a pale blue for a tonal look.  Southern Fried Paper and I have such a good working relationship and you can really see it come together in this suite.

The escort card display was an art installation between paper, artist Kayla Barker and florist The Southern Table. The escort cards were on grey paper with purple ink in the same modern script used on the invitations.  Each card had a dainty little blue ribbon and push pin used to hang on the large scale back drop created by Kayla Barker.  Finishing touches of floral decorations added by The Southern Table.

When the guests entered the reception tent for this luxury Austin Texas wedding; they were greeted by a stunning hanging floral installation, twinkle lights and welcoming long tables set up specifically for hearty laughs and good conversations.

Each place setting used a beautiful lacy charger, linen napkins, blue ribbon and a personalized menu card.  The menu color designated which entree the guest selected and the names were in a coordinating blue.  The effect was a graceful ombre across the table from light, medium and dark blue.  We also used a favorite of mine – first names only so they could be large and make a statement!
