I’m not sure about you but sometimes a card just doesn’t cut it for me (although a beautifully calligraphy+letterpress card does come close). Like when you ask your best girls to be a part of your biggest day… when I was a bride-to-be, I couldn’t find a card that accurately expressed my excitement to have those four girls as my bridesmaids. At the time I was working full-time in the corporate design world, so I didn’t have time to whip something together. In stead, I just called them up and asked them – but I really wish I would have come up with a creative way to pop the bridesmaid question; those girls have been with me through thick and thin, through some really big, life-altering events and continue to be a big part of my life today!
…Which is why these bridesmaid prize ribbons are the bee’s knees. Who wouldn’t want to open up a pretty box to find a beautiful ribbon with their name?! I recently created these prize ribbons for a Seattle Bride Magazine feature because: 1.) I am completely into prize ribbons right now and 2.) Letterpress on a silky, blush pink grosgrain ribbon? YES PLEASE!
I love these little, adorable ribbon pins and think they would be too cute for your ladies to proudly wear to your shower, your bachelorette night or even to the rehearsal (believe me, your officiant will thank me since it serves as a really pretty name tag). They can be made for the guys as well!

I recently worked on some calligraphy pieces for a lovely collaboration with Crystal of Bespoke Style Studios. The theme for the editorial was wedding desserts through the four seasons. The editorial is featured in the newest edition of Seattle Met Bride & Groom.
Crystal was the brains behind the styling and prop design, I was able to lend a hand with the paper/calligraphy pieces. It was so fun working with Crystal (who I met while working on her wedding invitations) and seeing our ideas come to life in print. I especially love the sweet details she included, like the cut-out leaves behind the desserts for Autumn! I am so pleased with the shoot, it’s always so fun to see my work in action and just looking at all these desserts makes me hungry! Be sure to check out more of Crystal’s work here!
Also, how beautiful is that cover shot? The image is part of a larger shoot that is featured inside the magazine. The shoot was styled by Steven Moore Designs and photographed by Elizabeth Messina, so lovely, it’s a must see!
Happy New Year! I hope your year is off to a fabulous start! While things have been rather quiet here on the blog, things have been busy busy behind the scenes. I am gearing up for some really lovely weddings and some amazing branding projects for 2013. But it’s about this time of year that I really start to longing for summer, so I thought that I would pop in to share some photos of a wedding invitation project I worked on last summer for a lovely couple.
Alissa and Alan were married in August in a small intimate, backyard wedding ceremony with a Mediterranean feel, designed by Finch and Thistle Events. Alissa was so sweet to work with and I love the final product. The invitations feature a watercolor olive branch wreath with the couple’s monogram. The invitation and reply card were digitally printed on soft white card stock. I love the infusion of summer color with bright green envelopes, white calligraphy lettering (done by yours truly) and vintage postage. I love the simplicity of the invitation set. Congratulations Alissa and Alan; it was a pleasure working on your paper goods!
