I recently had the pleasure of designing save the dates for an incredibly sweet couple. I’ve known Emily for 7 years, and while she’s “technically” a friend of a friend, her sweet, spunky personality is so intoxicating that she quickly became one of mine as well. Emily found her perfect match with Zach. He is easily one of the sweetest men I know and I am so excited for their September wedding!

Designing for Emily was pretty easy. I knew it had to be bright, cute, and a little bit preppy ;)

We decided to go with thermography printing. Using heat, the ink is actually raised from the surface of the paper and has a glossy texture. They turned out beautifully, and think it added a lot of detail to the invites.

Congrats, Emily + Zach! I am so happy for you two!

Here’s something sweet to brighten your day!

Happy Friday, Everyone!

As you know, my lovely friend is getting married. For her bridal shower invitation, I thought it was fitting to celebrate our shared love for lace, baker’s twine, and kraft paper.

Then I finished them off with a wax seal.

I love paper. And Alex.

My oldest brother is getting married!

When you imagine your siblings getting married – you always hope that they find someone who deserves them, someone worthy of their “amazingness”. My brother did – he found his perfect match. Not only is Doug lucky, we all are! I cannot be any happier to welcome Christina to our whirlwind of a family!

For these two, I wanted to design a classic, elegant Save the Date:

The letterpress printing turned out beautifully and added a nice detail.

Congrats Christina + Doug! I love you!

I know I’ve mentioned Kristen Gardner on this blog many, many times, but really, she’s AMAZING. If you’ve met her, you know she is incredibly kind, overwhelmingly generous, and uber talented. I was so excited when she emailed me to help her design some new paper goods.

Here’s what we came up with:

Kristen’s photography is classic and timeless and I think these clean new designs will help her tell her story a little better.

Thank you, Kristen! You’re fantasic ; )
