Alissa and Alan’s Monogramed Olive Branch Wreath Invitations

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!

i heart mom

Mother’s day is nearly here! I am always on the lookout for sweet, unique finds when I give a gift, especially to my mom. Here are some of my best ideas for your mom:

 

one | scarf from JCrew – I love this color, it’s such a beautiful shade of blue and it looks good on everyone!

two | organic milk chocolate from Terrian– Yum & love that beautiful packaging (all you need is a beautiful silky ribbon tied around it!)

three | cocktail ring from Stella and Dot – Love big statement pieces, this one is timeless.

four | metallic runners from Boden – Perfect for everyday and a bit more dressy then a regular old pair of Nike’s…

five | monogrammed pillow from Luxury Monograms – This pillow would be a perfect addition to a big comfy chair. Plus the monogram is unusual, I love it!

six | lettered coffee mugs from Anthropologie – I love the spring colors of these mugs, they have so many adorable uses including a mini-flower pot, a catch all for pens etc. The perfect gift!

seven | ombre vase from Terrain – I love having a variety of vases around, this vase would be so beautiful filled with white tulips. Beautiful!
