...Kumquat & Peach...

A few weeks ago I spied this adorable invitation suite by Erin of Be True Designs on 100 layer cake. As if the kumquat & peach color scheme wasn't enough, the cameos put this suite over the top and onto my list of favorite things.
I won't even get into how adorable the font choices and kraft paper are. That is a different story for a different time.



See the entire suite here on 100 layer cake.

...Creative Seating Chart Display...

Are you one of the lucky brides that has a really unique reception venue? If so, I certainly hope that you're taking advantage of it! Survey the surroundings at your venue{s} and see how you can incorporate more of the surroundings into the details of your day. Take this innovative idea, for example:
I am loving how the table arrangements are displayed with ribbon on an existing mirror at the venue. Instead of using a typical table to display escort cards, try something new! Don't forget to think outside the box when you are touring a reception venue!

...Patterned Reception Details...

In love with patterns {stripes, damask, polka dot, tartan, etc}!? You, my friend are not alone! One of the easiest ways to incorporate your love for a pattern into your wedding day is at the reception.

Patterned cardstock can be used to create escort cards {above} which will correspond to a table number sign with the same pattern {below} thereby directing guests to their assigned tables at the reception. Other ways to incorporate a pattern into the details of your wedding reception are by using patterns on menu cards, bar signs, guestbook signs or favor tags. The possibilities are endless!
I just had to share this picture of the table decor for this wedding. Don't you love both the blue & mason jar vases?!


You can see all the details from this wedding at this post as seen on the brides cafe. All photos are by youkeun oh photography.

...Snippet & Ink Invitations...

I am sure that, by now, you have seen the gorgeous invitation suite that THE Kathryn Storke of snippet & ink created {with the assistance of some talented vendors!} for her recent wedding. If you haven't, you need to see it. Never have I ever seen a suite that is so polished, so tailored and so down right beautiful.
You can view the entire suite {and the story behind every piece of it!} here.

...Gray Envelopes...

Just stopping in to share with you a picture or two of some outer envelopes I completed recently. These were so fun to complete as they were a change of pace from the normal white envelopes that so many clients use.
My Pretty Perfect style in black ink graced these gray envelopes and the result, is stunning!
