InStyle Weddings - Summer '08

Big News!...Christmas came early this year for us! If you pick up a copy of the Summer 2008 InStyle Weddings Magazine you'll see that our brand new addition to our "Classic Collection" called "Cosmopolitan" was featured in their invitation article. We are absolutely thrilled! This new design features a fresh & modern layout with raised navy printing on a pale pistachio cardstock with a navy blue cardstock backing.

Jasmin's {High Tea} Bridal Shower Invite

For Jasmin's Bridal Shower the theme was a wonderful High Tea Garden party where different types of tea and refreshments were served all the ladies were invited to wear their fanciest hats (think Audrey Hepburn in "My Fair Lady"). To communicate this creative party idea, I painted 2 small original watercolors - a green tea pot and a fancy hat and incorporated them into Jasmin's one-of-a-kind invitation. The actual invitation was then glued into a dark gold "petal" envelope. Art-lover Jasmin was thrilled with the finished product and I was happy to have been able to take a moment to do a little painting!
