We are off to a soaring start for wedding season 2011 with Envelopments!

Just a few of the many exciting announcements to come:

• Due to their overwhelming success in the holiday season, Twist Cards are now a permanent part of the Envelopments collection. They are now available in all of the Card Stock colors in 5x5, 5x7L, and 5x7P.
  
  
•  We have spoken with many of you over the past few years looking for yellow in the Envelopments line. Well, you spoke and they listened and added two yellows to the line.
  
  

  		“Soleil” is a bright yellow that goes great with the patterned stocks and like its namesake (the sun) Soleil is filled with light and warmth, it conjures up images of sunflowers, beach balls, tropical locations and summer celebrations.
  		“Limoncello” looks just like the Italian liqueur it is named for, it calls to mind wild spring flowers, daffodils, margaritas and coordinates very nicely in the palette with Napa, Wicked and Mystic to name a few.

We're going to start on their place cards, programs, and other accessories soon - so watch for future posts!

winter wonderland wedding

Deep burgundy and gold worked beautifully here to set the tone for Lisa and Tim's winter wonderland wedding. They got married on one of the snowiest days this winter and held the reception at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park.

We used a 5x7 envelofold tied with ribbon for the invitations and printed coordinating programs and thank you notes complete with some of the gorgeous pictures (thanks to Clever Creations Photography) from their snowy day.

fabulous fall wedding

I got to work on some beautiful items for Jessi & Andy's fall wedding and I need to thank Alexis at Studio Xplore for the beautiful pictures she took to show off my work.

The first one is a sign for a unique twist on the traditional box/birdcage for cards.

This is of a favor tag with a little thank you message tucked inside.

We also did invitations, programs and table numbers for this wedding. I love fall!

elegant destination wedding

This was such a beautiful job to work on! I love the colors and the paisley - and they got married in one of my favorite places in Michigan - Sutton's Bay!

We did coordinating programs, place cards, and thank you notes too.

more fun summer colors

This was one of the weddings I worked on over the summer. What a fun color pallet!

There are so many ways to take this design and make it your own.

dusty brown photography - 5.10

I recently finished up work on a wedding for Jen & Ryan. their colors where 'punchy' pink, orange, and yellow and it was so much fun to work with them on all their wedding stationery needs.

They used Dusty Brown as their photographer and he did a huge favor for me and took pictures of my work in use at the wedding and the reception. I'm looking forward to featuring his images on my website! For now, here's the link to the blog post.

Winter Wedding Goes Hawaiian

Here's a wedding invitation ensemble I just worked on for a wedding coming up in February. She wanted something red and white and fun, but not a Valentine's theme. She decided to have a 'luau reception' complete with people changing into Hawaiian shirts before coming to the reception, so decided to design invitations that played on that idea. I used a single red hibiscus flower to make the invitations classy yet coordinated, and pulled that thru the rest of the items.
