Bridal Party Invites

Last year a client came to me for custom invitations for her bridal party. She wanted a special way to invite them to be in her wedding.

I based this handmade card on the bridesmaid's dress she already had picked out. The dress on the card is made out of silk ribbon woven through the paper.

The dresses the cards were based on.

We also did a cute one for the men with a bow tie made with the same method.

Next post...what I did for MY bridal party!

French Inspired Napa Valley Wedding

When bride Liz came to us to design her French inspired Napa Valley wedding stationery we were more than excited.

We started with the save the date for this destination wedding which included 3 cards in a jacket envelope.


After the save-the-date was in the mail we started work on the invitation set. This custom invitation suite included a custom envelope liner for the inner envelopes.


From there we went on to work on the day-of stationery, programs, table numbers, seating chart, favors, signs, and more. Liz's impeccable taste, a beautiful bride, day and venue made for stunning results!

Most of the below photographs are by our new favorite photographer in northern California, Jessamyn Harris. Check out her site at www.jessamynharrisweddings.com!


The cocktail hour was made to feel like you were really in France with a live accordion player serenading guests.


Dinner was finished off with traditional French wedding cakes adorning the tables and the most amazing macaroons as favors from the famous Bouchon Bakery of Napa.


Thank you Liz & Darren for inviting us to be part of a truly magnificent day.
All the best for a lifetime of happiness!
