What a Find!












Another great find at THEKNOT.COM. Can a white wedding be any better?!

These candy displays, in my opinion, are the cutest things. Not only do they provide sweet treats for your guests, but also create an ambiance and natural decor! BEAUTIFUL. Again, these little cards with ribbon are all easy things for us designers to send with your invitations...so DON'T FORGET those accessory things you need to the big day!

We're happy to help and love to see what the end result is!!

What are the odds....


I am completely amazed these past few weeks at the interest in one of my invitations ... The Kate Invitation. This invitation was created for my sister-in-law, Kate, and ever since I posted it, the requests have been flooding in. I currently have 5 orders, different weddings, for this invitation. But, what you will be amazed at is how different the combinations are, the colors, the papers and ribbon. I am excited to post all the covers after they are complete so you can see how versatile each invitation can be!
But ... on to THEKNOT.COM. Have you explored this website ... I mean, REALLY explored it. You will be amazed at the creative minds behind this site. I am currently checking out the hottest color combos for elegant weddings .... and here are my findings. They also show other combos for modern weddings and fun, out door weddings. AWESOME.














That's it ladies .... beautiful combinations for beautiful weddings! ....now back to that creative thing I like to do....

Rock, Paper, Scissors....GO!


Have you ever had a dream, but you couldn't put your finger on what you really wanted, until you found a HUGE piece of inspiration?

I have to give a HUGE note of thanks to a little store in Franklin, TN called ROCK,PAPER, SCISSORS. This boutique is out of this world adorable. Sometimes being creative gets tiring and you get frustrated when you don't feel like you're coming up with good, new material. This is when these gems are priceless. So, to pass on this inspiration to whoever may need it ... check out their website and blog. If you're a paper fanatic...I promise, you will NOT be disappointed!!

New Year, New Color picking!


So, unlike last year, a goal for this year is to keep this blog alive with photos, updates and a lot more creative inspiration!

COLOR CHOICE: One of the things I've found is that many people, like me, are very visual when it comes to picking their invitation colors. Most brides will start with what they want their overall wedding to look like, picking flowers, bridesmaid's dresses, accents and accessories for their special day and then match an invitation with that color and feel.

MY SUGGESTION: Don't count out an invitation just b/c your colors are not shown. This month I have had 5 brides show interest in this invitation (The Kate Invitation) - Each bride has had a different color scheme, a different theme and a different look. I have had the pleasure of transforming this invitation to fit each one of their weddings.

ETSY: One of the cool things about Etsy is that you are usually contacting the ACTUAL DESIGNER. The person who chose and designed the invitation and has the ability to customize the colors and design JUST FOR YOU!

Think about it ... YOU HAVE THE DESIGNER AT YOUR FINGERTIPS....use us!!!

Check out Etsy for literally ANYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE. ...and have fun!
