I was recently able to collaborate with my friends Sinclair & Moore Events on a lovely Kate Spade inspired shoot for Seattle Bride Magazine. The shoot featured bright colors, preppy stripes and gold details. I worked on some z-fold gold foil stamped menus for the shoot and some lovely gold calligraphy place cards. Steve Moore from Sinclair & Moore did such a lovely job styling this shoot! I love the adorable black and white striped favor boxes at each place setting with bright green silk ribbons. …also, can we talk about the sparkly gold sequin tablecloths? Yes, they were as amazing in person!
The menus are entirely gold foil stamped. Gold foil stamping is such a lovely way to print your day-of-stationery and even your invitations! It is the best way to achieve that fabulous sparkly metallic gold look. These gold foil menus were printed on hot pink cardstock. The great thing about gold foil is that it can be printed on so many fun paper colors, surfaces and textures. Plus, who doesn’t love a little gold?!
Today we are celebrating our 3rd anniversary. It’s fun to remember back to our Sweet Day in May. Something that still stands out about the day is how blessed I felt surrounded by our cherished family and friends. I also remember how lovely the day was: It was a sunny, perfect Seattle day to get married. The past three years have flown by, so it’s sweet to take a moment and remember how it all began and how incredibly blessed I am. Here’s to many more years!
Recently I was able to work with some friends, the O’Malleys (who also happen to be incredibly talented photographers), on a styled shoot in Sun Valley at the Idaho Rocky Mountain Ranch. I was so thrilled with the photos, the shoot and all the beautiful details. The wedding stationery and calligraphy were inspired by a mint, emerald green and gold color palette. The cream cotton cardstock featured a gold monogram in a vintage wreath. The calligraphy on the place cards, invitations, drink menus and groom’s letter was scrolled in emerald green ink that had a watercolor feel. I lettered the table menus in gold calligraphy. I think they looked so lovely with the gold and cream vintage plates.
One of my favorite features of the invitation set was the custom ceramic tags I made to match the monogram on the paper goods. The tags were strung onto mint green silk ribbons and tied around the invitation sets. Sweet little details like that make a set unique! The other unexpected detail was the dotted pattern adorning the envelope liners. The pattern was created with the same emerald ink I used for the calligraphy. Patterns are my passion! I think the emerald ink beautifully linked all details together and made the set feel elegant yet playful.
