Candice & Brandon ~ Chappell Hill, Texas Wedding

Candice and Brandon were so amazing to work with and referred to me by Honeydew Events.  I mostly met with Candice's mom, Gerry, to work on all their stationery.  I absolutely LOVED their theme and colors!  They went with dark gray, plum and it was a ranch style themed wedding.  Candice grew up with horses and instead of having table numbers, they went with tables named after all her horses.  What a cute idea!    For the invite, there was a pocket on the back where the RSVP card, accommodations and directions cards were nested.  Candice wanted a little bling, so a rhinestone buckle finished the look.  The colors and theme carried throughout the menu, program, seating chart and thank you cards.  Papered cones holding rice were also created for their wedding exit.  Rice cone and menu picture provided by Scott Kelley Photography.

Casey & Paul ~ League City, Texas Wedding

Wow...where to even begin...

First, I apologize for posting this a year after their wedding.  I've been playing catch up with all the weddings from last year and having professional (my husband) pictures taken of my stationery.

Casey was a neighbor of mine back in elementary school and we were great friends!  She moved away and then we moved away and we lost touch.  Fast forward about 25 years and she finds me on My Space.  It became obsolete and we all now have Facebook.  AGAIN, she finds me on there....stalker!  :)   Casey told me later she was determined to find me again so that I could do her wedding stationery.  I was so excited!!!

We meet and start designing her stationery.  She knew she wanted a lock and key vintage theme with pale pinks and dark grays.  On their save the date, we did a tag style to which she used a cricut machine and created a thick vintage key attached with a cord.  Needless to say, she's pretty creative herself!  This theme carried on through to the invite as well.

I want to say a HUGE thank you to Casey & Paul for letting me a part of your wedding planning!  And another HUGE HUGE HUGE thank you to Casey for supporting me by coming to our open house this past March and bringing new clients to me and my studio mates, Kristina Frank Make Up & Zasey Photography, Amber Strickler.

Happy Belated Anniversary you two!  XOXO!

Adriana & Kennith ~ Houston, Texas Wedding

After engagement pictures were taken, this couple wanted to use one and send out a mock postcard to let their guests save the date.  A few months later, invites needed to be created and Adriana & Kennith wanted to combine the winter color theme with Kennith's work in commercial airlines.  So a small airplane flying out of an abstract cloud to symbolize that was worked into their invite.  This trifold invitation was perfect way to include all the information necessary.  A separate card included was the response card and it was sent back to the couple.  Guests could easily take this invite with them on the wedding day and not have anything falling out.  Here's their final creation!

Kristen & David ~ Canton, Massachusetts Wedding

It was such a pleasure to work with this couple!  Kristen and David were referred to me by her sister, Nicole.  Their wedding color and theme was inspired by the month they were getting married in, October.  It was natural to go with these fall colors of deep plum, pumpkin and sage and apple green.  I LOVED their color scheme.  We started out with invites and finished with place cards, table numbers, thank you and candy bar sign.  Each guest received candied apples as their favors with a personalized note from the bride and groom.  Photography from the wedding courtesy of Chinappi Photography.

Geraldine & RayMark ~ Houston, Texas Wedding

Geraldine and RayMark are one of the easiest and laidback couples I've had the pleasure to work with.  From the very beginning, she was sweet and down to earth and he the ever so quiet one.  But together, we were able to put together an amazing invite.  They wanted their stationery to resemble the architectural and gorgeous design of Hotel ZaZa.  Tying in the gold, purple, silver and black, we were able to capture this venue's and couple's sophistication.  Along with their invite included menus and programs.  Photographs by Sassani Photography and Zasey Photography.  A huge thanks to my friend Patsy Vivares for referring this amazing couple to Ben and I.

Chi & Michael - Aruba Wedding & Houston, Texas Reception

Chi contacted me about a year before their wedding.  Also an event coordinator herself, she was familiar with the colors and had in mind the design she wanted.  Chi and Michael had a destination wedding in the beautiful Aruba and then an at home reception the following week.  For the Aruba wedding, they chose fun and beachy colors with turquoise and limes accented by honeydew pink.  Going a little more formal for the reception, their theme was sapphire blue and crystals.  It was fun coming up with their design and a pleasure working with them both.

Love Travels...to the Wedding

Jeanne and Marvin started out with boarding passes as their save the dates.  To complete their love travels theme, many other stationery pieces were created.  Invitations included the reception, website, accommodation and registry information.  Table numbers were created using locations around the world that Jeanne and Marvin had traveled.  And luggage tag favors doubled as escort cards.  To top it all off, thank you cards were sent out from their fairy tale trip to Disney.  They were so creative in using this theme to carry out throughout their wedding!  Thank you to the both of you for letting me create your amazing stationery!

Blingin' Chandeliers

 Congratulations to Tiffanie and Khuong!  They were married yesterday and I loved doing their wedding stationery.  Their theme consisted of chandeliers and lots of bling to complement Hotel ZaZa.  Swarovski crystals were added to the invitation to give it a little flair to go along with their black, graphite, fuchsia and blackberry color scheme.  Thanks to Mai Dang for getting us together!

A Touch of Spring

When I met with Kirstin and David last year, they knew exactly what they wanted.  Well, Kirstin knew exactly what she wanted...David agreed.  :-)  With purples and greens and a touch of raffia, a garden themed wedding was exactly what they wanted for a refreshing spring event.  David and Kirstin also incorporated an engagement picture courtesy of my husband, Ben.  Kirstin wanted to use green envelopes, but didn't want any ordinary label.  So wrap around labels were used to complete the clean and classic look.  Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day!

Winter Tulips

When Gigi and Jason met with me a few months ago, they knew for sure they wanted something with yellow and grays.  This color combo is awesome!  Gigi wasn't sure what theme she wanted to go with but after looking at a few samples, tulips was the winner.  Instead of using the custom response card and response envelope, Gigi and Jason decided on saving with postage by using a response postcard.  Also keeping in theme with the color scheme, we also used a dark gray envelope and enhanced with a wrapped address band for sophistication.  I love it!

Tulips in the Garden

From Stoneham, MA to Miami! I can't think of a better way than escaping the cold winter than planning a wedding celebration in warm and sunny Florida. And of course, choosing a garden themed boarding pass is a great idea to show your guests' what their wedding will entail. Thank you Nicole and Brian for choosing me to do your wedding stationery!

Hook 'Em Horns!

What a fantastic way to start the football season than by sending your guests' burnt orange invites with your engagement picture in the UT stadium. Kim and Marco got engaged a year ago at the Texas~Texas Tech game and they thought it would be a great walk down memory lane if they could get inside the stadium to take some pictures. Ben of Sassani Photography made it happen! They decided to carry out their theme throughout the invite with burnt orange, bronze and a touch of maroon (no relation to aTm.) To top it all off with a classic touch, Kim wanted a bronze envelope and we used a wrapped label to address to her guests'. Thanks Kim and Marco for letting me a part of your wedding!

Peacock Wedding

Melanie had always envisioned her wedding with the theme following peacocks. The array of teals, deep blues, browns and olive greens were her inspiration. Melanie & Cesar wanted a sleek yet simple invite without the hassle of extra inserts so we collaborated on this trifold invite that give their guests' all the info they needed for this amazing wedding. The reception will be held at the Trevisio Restaurant and the deep blue and gold architecture/interior decor matches perfectly with this peacock theme.

Bronze 'n Paisley

Blanca and Jorge loved this design that I created as a sample for a wedding colllection. Their colors are blue and bronze and she wanted to incorporate paisleys throughout the wedding.

Regina & Fred

Congratulations to my brother-in-law Fred and his new bride Regina who got married this past Saturday. It was an amazing and fun wedding. Regina & Fred looked fabulous and of course didn't stop dancing til after the night was over. This is their wedding invitation that I created as well as place cards and table numbers. The program included the wedding party, menu and traditional Persian ceremony. Their photographer, Jason Lee, has already posted their pictures on his blog. Amazing!

First comes Wedding...then comes Reception

Last year, Gretchen and Mary met with me to design an invite for their wedding in Canada. The 7x7 pocketfold was what we came up with and now we met again to design an invite for all their friends and family that couldn't join them for a reception. The pocket invite was the perfect choice to hold the additional info for their guests. We tied bronze with the turquoise together through all their stationery. Congratulations to Gretchen and Mary on their one year anniversary.

An Italian Wedding

Suzanne and I met shortly after she went to Houston Wedding Showcase and saw my work. She loved it. It took some time before we were able to create a design that had the simplistic and vineyard feel of the winery where Suzanne and Siggy would wed. After they came back from visiting Castello Banfi, she knew exactly what her color theme would be. The castle on the front tag gave the whole look it's final touch.

Garden Wedding

Kayla and Juan Pablo knew that they wanted a garden themed wedding next March. I created a mix of greens and purples with a touch of butterflies. Beginning with the Save the Date, they loved the one that I did for Meladie and Scott a while back. I used the same format and changed it to their colors and then we did a magnet instead of a flat card.




For the invitations, they wanted to include as much info as possible for the guests from the accommodations to the map and directions card. Their guests will be thoroughly prepared. I used a green patterned metallic paper to add a little flair to the invites.

The garden theme will be carried all the way through their wedding with their wedding program, table number and menu trifold, escort cards and ending with their thank you cards. What a pretty wedding this will be!
