Happy Thanksgiving!

I am thankful for so many blessings today. God’s provision has been both abundant and overwhelming this year. I am so grateful for my family; they are a source of strength and priceless friendship for both Chris and I. I am grateful for my husband who is so supportive of me and my dreams. I am grateful for our home (I love coming home to our house!). Some days I sit in my office and just thank God that he provided the perfect home for us. I am so grateful that I am an auntie to a little boy that I love to the moon and back. He makes me smile whenever I think about him and playing with him may be my favorite thing ever. I am beyond blessed by my faithful, loyal, honest friends who bring me so much joy. I am thankful for my job. I love love love my job and I am blessed to be able to do something I feel so passionately about. And I am thankful to have a Savior who loves me, died for me and loves me. Happy Thanksgiving all!

Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever! – 1 Chronicles 16:34

Wood Invitations and Calligraphy Details + Style Me Pretty

These lovely real (yes, real!) wood invitations (and other handlettered wood elements) I designed were recently featured on Style Me Pretty as part of an editorial shoot I collaborated on with some other  talented vendors. What a perfect way to bring a bit of the outdoors and a natural, organic feel into your wedding. I packaged them in mailable boxes (with calligraphied addresses and vintage postage, of course!) and tied of the invitations (and the other paper details) with silk hand dipped mustard yellow ombre ribbons. The whole set is just so lovely, I was so pleased with the final product.

The wood invitations were stamped in white ink with a custom made rubber stamp. I also incorporated kraft paper into the set with a flat cream cardstock as a contrasting texture, color.

…And can we talk about the bridal gown?! I am in LOVE with that dress!

Here is the entire paper suite for the shoot… Are you looking for custom invitations and coordinating pieces for your own wedding or event? Let’s chat!
