What a beautiful way to showcase your photo without having to decide on which type of frame to go with it, etc. - just hang the masterpiece up for all to see! Check out Chic Canvas to view all of their samples and to see how easy it is to upload your photo and order your own piece of art!

Bella in "Brides"

We are so thrilled that one of our custom designs was recently featured in "Brides" magazine in the Washington and Maryland editions. They called this creation "The Extreme Invite" and it sure is with a beautiful handmade silk box gold silk backing, raised gold printing and a purple "blingtastic" brooch!

Kerry Anne & Steven II

As promised here is the second collage for Kerry Anne & Steven's spectacular Fall wedding. Their gorgeous photos are all by East Hill Photo. By the way, some of you were wondering who Kerry Anne's talented event planner was, her name is Julie Shreck with Simply You Weddings. Check out the stunning decor and those floral arrangements!
We designed a simple ivory linen texture Thank You Card with their "S" Monogram printed in raised chocolate brown ink.
Thanks again for sharing your lovely photos with us Kerry Anne! We wish you both all the best!

Kerry Anne & Steven I

Ok, are you ready for some seriously magazine-worthy eye candy? Stunning Fall shades that will inspire your own seasonal soiree? I couldn't decide on which photos to post so I made 2 collages for you - these beautiful photos are all by the oh-so-super-talented East Hill Photo.

On October 25th our clients, Kerry Anne & Steven were married at Orange Beach, Alabama - the weather was perfect and so were the bride and groom! The reception was held in a large white tent on the beach at The Caribe Resort. We custom designed their shimmery chocolate brown and ivory invitations and added a simple "S" Monogram. The monogram was on their Save-the-Dates, Invitations, Reply Cards, Envelopes, Ceremony Programs and Thank You Cards. The printing was raised (thermography) in a chocolate brown ink to give it all that wonderful tactile feel.

I just LOVE all the colors that they used, in everything from the flowers, to the table settings to the colorful food stations that served everything from sushi to local favorites. Their super talented event planner was Julie Shreck with Simply You Weddings, check out her gorgeous work on her website!

Enjoy....more to come today!

Taryn & Marvin

Ok, it's been a while (a long while) since I've had a moment around here to actually post anything - we have been super busy with our Fall weddings and rush orders...and now I can finally get caught up with the important postings!

Without further delay, here is a Real Weddings feature from Taryn and Marvin's fresh and breezy Summer wedding in June. They were married at the gorgeous Belle Mer oceanside venue in Newport, Rhode Island. The weather and the setting was ideal for the white themed wedding, Taryn's dress was by Carolina Herrera and their photographer was Kristen Spencer.

We designed a custom monogram for them which was featured on their custom wedding invitation and cards and also throughout their wedding day on their menus, champagne glasses, gift bags and Godiva favors. I think a monogram or a custom motif is such a special way to add that unified personalized touch to all of your wedding elements.
