Haidee & Marc

I have always been a big fan of “love story” save the dates so when Laura at Forevermore Events approached me and said she had a couple that wanted just that I was stoked! The cute couple sent down their story and I immediately fell in love. One of my favorite things about specializing in wedding invitations is that I get to know these amazing couples and Haidee and Marc were no exception. Their story was so full of life and humor. After we got the design figured out, Haidee asked if we could have it letterpressed rather than just printing it digitally. I had never had any of my own work lettepressed before so I was beyond excited to see how this process that I love so much worked. I found a super talented letterpess shop up in Provo, Utah – Rowley Press. They were so great to work with that I went back to them after this project and had them print my business cards.

Haidee and Marc’s Save the Date is probably one of my favorite design projects I have done so far. I’m so grateful I got the opportunity to work with them and get a glimpse into their life and how they came to be a couple.

Brandy & Skyler

Brandy & Skyler’s invitation was actually my first one I completed for 2012. Their wedding had a woodsy/nature aesthetic along with a touch of vintage. Brandy was so great and had so many great ideas when we met to discuss the design of her invites. She wanted the main invite to have a tree so I decided to incorporate the tree and the tree bark pattern into the rest of the suite. Then we finished the suite off with a harvest colored envelope to complete the look.

St. George Weddings Ultimate Wedding Giveaway

The new St. George Weddings website has been in the works for a while now. I was actually approached a while back to design the logo for the new site – which I happily accepted. Everything was kept pretty hush-hush, so it was really exciting when the site when live the first of this week. And what better way to introduce a new wedding website than by hosting a wedding giveaway? This giveaway is pretty great and the winner will get to work with a handful of talented wedding vendors in the Southern Utah Area to make their dream wedding a reality. This is my first “giveaway” that I have participated in and I couldn’t be more thrilled! So, if you’re recently engaged, or know anyone who is currently planning their own wedding, I suggest you head on over to the new site and enter to win. You can read about the steps you need to take to be a contestant along with checking out all of the vendors involved here. Hurry though, you only have until this Saturday (April 7th) to enter!

Jessica & James – Wedding Details

Jessica & James’ wedding is one of my all-time favorite weddings that I’ve had the opportunity to be a part of. Kathy, owner of Bloomers, was the Mother of the Bride and made this stunning wedding come to life with Laura at Forevermore Events. Between these two talented women, not a single detail was overlooked. All of the decor was incredible and I can’t even begin to explain how gorgeous all of the floral arrangements were! Bloomers never cease to amaze me. Print details were a also big part of this wedding and I really think they made an impact. Overall, this wedding is one for the books. I’m sure after looking through these lovely photos taken by Gideon Photography you’ll be in absolute awe by how perfect it was.

You can check out more photographs of this wedding in the latest issue of Southern Utah Bride Magazine.

Jeni & Ryan – Wedding Details

One of my favorite parts of stationery design is being able to incorporate the invitation suite in other aspects of the wedding day if requested. When it comes to planning a wedding that is memorable it all comes down to the details. Whether they are as simple as labeling the foods or having signs to help guide your guests along – these details really can pull the whole look together. With Jeni & Ryan’s wedding, Jeni made it a point that she wanted her invitations to give the invited guests a preview of what her wedding would be like. It’s always wise to design your invite so it can fit into the actual decor and theme of your wedding and Jeni did just that. Every little detail of her wedding complimented one another. Jeni brought so many ideas to the table to make her big day unique and I absolutely loved that. The one detail I enjoyed the most was the “He Said/She Said” cards that were placed around each table. It was so much fun to type these up and to get a little glimpse of how adorable Jeni & Ryan are as a couple.

Ellyse & Shane

When I first met with Ellyse to discuss what she was envisioning for her wedding invites she ended up wanting her design similar to one of my past projects. This was really exciting for me and super challenging at the same time. I had to take a suite that I had created and make it my own – again. I took a few days to go over the design concept in my mind and on paper before even touching the computer so I could map out the best way to make this design unique to Ellyse and Shane. I decided to use a vintage floral pattern and small accents of eggplant. (I had been instructed to not use too much of the eggplant color because Shane didn’t want it to be too girly  - which is a common request from the groom.) I am very  pleased with how it all turned out. Ellyse and her mom were so much fun to work with and the wedding was absolutely fabulous. I’m so glad to have been able to play a part.
