What's We're Working On: Angela & Brian's Wedding Invitations

We just received the most lovely note from our bride Angela & her parent and wanted to share with you:

Elaine,

The invitations came and are absolutely beautiful! You really do an amazing job--I now understand what your other customers meant when they wrote in their reviews about not wanting to send them out because they'd rather just stare at them. Thank you so so much. [My parent and I] are 100% satisfied. Thanks again! You have truly helped make our wedding all the more special with the beautiful invitations.
Angela, Ann & Jim

We started when Angela shared her inspiration board with me:

Isn't it so pretty? I LOVE it. So I suggested the Blush Pink Repossee Pattern from Anna Griffin created for Envelopements. We put it together with Tourmaline Pink, & Chanpagnium to create the most beautifully stunning invitation suite complete with Toumaline-lined Champagnium envelopes. We printed each of her 299 guests' addresses on the outer envelopes to give them that special touch. These pictures really don't do the justice at all. They are very sparkly and are just breathtaking.

What We're Working On: Cole and Bethany Save The Dates

Cole approached us with an interest in the Bicycle Built for Two invitation suite. We adjusted the colors to Plum, Yellow, & Gray to match their wedding colors and have produced their Save The Dates. This style of Save The Date is really unique because they are a tri-folded z-card. Next up will be working on their matching invitations. I just love it when we do each paper product in the wedding because they actually match and go together as oppossed to a big mish-mash. And they will look great sitting next to each other in the scrapbook!

Elegantly Sweet Portable Pocket(c) Invitation

We have added a new member to our Wedding Invitation family. Her name is Elegantly Sweet. She is featured in the Winter 2010 Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine. (Doesn't she match the cover beautifully?)

Let your intentions to your guests be known with this fabulous elongated Save The Date in it's own mini portable pocket(c).

Then, really wow them with the layered invitation & rsvp tucked with love inside their own square pocket. The matching wrap label on the outer envelope really ties the suite together and makes a fabulous first impression.

Of course, Elegantly Sweet is available in any color combination of your choosing. Start the process by visiting our Etsy Shop here.
