I've just delivered my last wedding stationery order for the 2016 wedding season and need a moment catch my breath.

 

It's been a long, hectic, unpredictable year, both in the studio & at home. I have SO much to share and update you on, which I promise to do so very soon. So much has happened and so much will be happening over the next few months.

But for now, I'll leave you with some pretty invitations to gaze upon.

Annie & Kevin tied the knot at the Scottish Rite Cathedral in downtown Indianapolis this past weekend. They had one of the loveliest, most elegant wedding styles we've seen in quite some time. How can you go wrong with the ever-popular Navy and Gold color combo?

 

For their pocketfold invitations, they opted to incorporate gorgeous gold foil elements, letterpress printing, and unique laser cut shapes. These invitations are absolutely perfection, in our book! They perfectly set the tone for their big day - I can't wait to share more details of their coordinating wedding day paperie with you!

 

 

 

 

Much Love,

 

Believe me, we know weddings aren’t cheap. We also notice that quality wedding paperie is always one of the first things to go, when couples are planning a wedding on a budget.

 

….but why?

 

When compared to the costs of florals, linens, rentals, and even attempts at “DIY” decor - custom-designed wedding paper is still one of the most cost-effective routes to go, when looking for a way to really personalize your ceremony & reception.

 

Need some suggestions on how to get more bang for your buck in the wedding stationery department? One of our top recommendations is a menu card at each place setting. While brides are often quick to mark these off their list when making budget cuts, consider this - make them work double-duty!

 

We recommend adding at least one of the following to each menu card...
 

These small additions will also provide topics of conversation to your guest tables, which is perfect for the tables where you've paired guests that may not know each other. These little extras added to your menus will also keep guests informed and really show you've put thought into each individual place setting.

Best,

 

In recent months, I’ve come across many posts & comments about how wedding ceremony programs are just unnecessary. Brides have come up with many reasons to exclude them – some of the popular excuses I’ve found are:
 

I seriously beg to differ that they are a waste of time. Here is my rebuttal…

Don’t take your wedding programs for granted – they are truly underestimated! These can be a chic & affordable way to add color to the ceremony and keep your guests informed. I can say firsthand that the gesture will not go unappreciated!
