Tie one on

I've posted many things for brides and thought I should share something for the grooms out there. And what a better place to go looking than etsy!

I came across the Cyberoptix TieLab. Not only do they create single ties, you can purchase them for your entire bridal party. And what is even more awesome, is that they have a tie that would go PERFECTLY with my "We heart New York" invitation set.

From Invitations to Confections!

I love to bring my designs into other pieces, why let the fun stop with the invitations? That's one of the best things about custom design. I can do anything you might need, from programs, to place cards, to table numbers, to wine labels...you name it and it can probably be done.

Check out these cupcake flags using my invitation designs. They are perfect for showers or receptions:

Make every day beautiful!

Be ready for 2010 with my desk calendar, featuring 12 months of my wedding stationery designs. The cards are professionally printed and proudly displayed in a jewel case, which doubles as a desktop easel display when the cover is flipped over.

You may purchase the calendar with the presentation case for $15, or if you purchased one last year, you have the choice of purchasing a refill pack for $12.

Click here to purchase a 2010 calendar. Shipping is free for a limited time! If you'd like to purchase the refill pack, please email me and I will make a listing for you.

It's a great way to dress up your desk and have I mentioned that they make wonderful gifts?

Featured Testimonial: Terrence!

I worked with Terrence and Sabrina to create boarding passes for their sunset wedding in the Dominican Republic. Their guests will be asked to "Save the Date" with boarding passes customized by the couple!

Most of my reviews come from the bride, but my mailbox was pleasantly filled with the feedback from a groom! Here's what Terrence had to say:
"I am the invisible man you have done such great work for =). Sabrina is still working and has yet to see the finished product BUT with such a well job done, I could not stand to wait to reach out to you =). We appreciate your efforts into making our experience as stress free as possible. With the energy it takes to plan a wedding, this seamless exchange was a breath of fresh air! The work is remarkable and as excited as I am to finally have them in my hands, I am equally ecstatic to mail them out so I can share with my guests. I will forever recommend you to anyone I know and the "nice long testimonial" is on its way =)

No worries Terrence, this is great feedback. Spend your free time finishing up your final details, or just relax! Thank you guys, I look forward to working with you on your invitations. Happy planning!

With this ring...

I love etsy. It's an addiction of mine. I find my evenings spent cozied up in my bed, with my assistant Pete curled up in the crook of my knees. After all, he needs time off too– he works really hard during the day chewing on dingo bones, hunting squirrels and begging for chicken salad sandwiches at his grandpa's house.

Tonight, as he lay snoring under my duvet, I was checking out some different etsy artists that offer custom wedding bands. I fell in love with these VERY personalized rings by Fabuluster.


At first glance, they look like any wedding band. Take them off to reveal your spouse's fingerprint on the inside. To get them, you simply complete a fingerprint impression kit provided by the seller and send it back. Voila!

How special is that? I love it. It doesn't get much more personal and unique than these bands. Click here to view the listing.

Destination Wedding Idea

Wow, this week has gone by fast and I haven't posted since Sunday! It's been a busy week around here: sent out 2 orders, put together a few proofs, met with a bride and on top of that, I am also preparing for the two weddings I will be attending this weekend. Both are friends (and clients!) and I am so excited to see how all their wonderful ideas will come together on their big days. I hope to have some photos to share with you, provided that I can borrow a camera charger...I left mine in Maine and am anxiously awaiting its return.

Now, onto today's post. Because I love all things Weddings, and especially Martha Stewart, I get her daily email with ideas. Today's idea was for destination weddings. I love to work with brides that want something a little different like these luggage tag place cards (click on the link above to go to the project page).


I can't help but think what a great pair they'd make with my Boarding Pass Save the Date. With a simple switch of wording and the addition of an RSVP card, this design can easily be made into an invitation!




Happy planning!

I'd say "yes" to this dress!

I was looking around tonight at various blogs tonight. One click led to another, and before I knew it--I was looking at wedding dresses by Saja. I was first drawn by their really cute logo, but was really sucked into the AMAZING and simple gowns.

This one is my favorite. Low and behold, it's only $790 (bookmarked!):


They have a Bridesmaid dress in the same style, which I'd actually consider making "the" dress:


If you are looking for a dress or like me, just like to look at dresses, head on over to Saja Wedding and check out their selection.

Henry Photography

Aside from designing wedding stationery, I do many other things. One of them being working with local photographers to design stationery and other materials. Earlier this year, I was contacted by the oh-so-lovely Ashley Henry of Henry Photography. She had a logo and needed all the fixins' to go along with it. She loved the damask pattern and thought it would fit in well with their studio decor. I worked with she and her husband/business partner, Coty, to create business cards, client folders, dvd labels and a notecard set. It was a lot of fun and I love how it all came together. I'm a sucker for branding. Here's how it all turned out (Photo courtesy of Henry Photography):

Ashley and Coty, thank you! I look forward to working with you guys in the future.
