Programs on my mind
April 10th, 2012
I guess you can tell May is around the corner! I’ve been designing programs for days! This Spring we’ve added quite a few to our growing collection! Check them out below:
Kentuck Knob Wedding
March 28th, 2012
We were so excited when bride, Meagan, found us to help her create a custom invitation suite for her fall wedding at Kentuck Knob. I inherited my father’s slight obsession with architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. Kentuck Knob is a jewel of his from 1953 and is located in the mountains of Pennsylvania. Meagan is planning an elegant Vintage Chic wedding with a tented reception resplendent with milk glass vases and soft florals. We wanted her invitation suite to have a traditional and clean look with a touch of Southern Elegance and Vintage charm. I love the outcome!
As always, email me for a closer look!

A Lowcountry Save the Date
February 29th, 2012
Attached is a new design we just put together using vintage type. This Lowcountry Save the Date will be flat-printed front and back with coordinating kraft or dove grey envelopes. We’re loving the blush and charcoal combo!
Sonoma Save the Date
February 29th, 2012
Just a quick pic of the Save the Date we did for bride, Lindsey. I love her custom lettering we did on her kraft envelopes!
Land & Sea Wedding Invitation
January 11th, 2012
Cory from the ever so elegant, Loluma Events, came to me to help create the custom stationery for bride and groom, Stephanie and Ryan, who are planning a Summer wedding on Kiawah Island. Stephanie has been coming to the Lowcountry Island for years and while she loves the beach, the Lowcountry land, with it’s Live Oak trees draped with Spanish Moss, held just a special place in her heart, so we set to work creating a custom graphic that equally evokes the Land and Sea features of the Lowcountry that she loves so much.
Here’s a closer look at the custom monogram graphic which incorporates the Live Oak tree and Scallop shell:

Carolina Classic Script
January 11th, 2012
We’re still working on putting together the Classics Collection which will be a small collection of semi-custom 5×7 invitations which will {hopefully} launch later this year. Here is a look at the all-script calligraphy invitation that will be included in the collection.
Boone Hall Invitation
January 11th, 2012
I love love love Boone Hall Plantation, so I was excited when Cindy, from Engaging Events, called me about coming up with a design for her client’s, Arielle and Ret, who are planning a Spring wedding there. Arielle wanted to incorporate a classic Live Oak which epitomizes the plantation to her, but she also wanted to pull in a soft wrought iron element as it further evokes the Lowcountry and the beautiful gates of the old house at Boone Hall. We designed the suite in a palette of champagne and plum and also created a custom hand-drawn map that shows the guest accommodations, wedding ceremony location and the families favorite beach spot!

Papel de Picado!
January 11th, 2012
Bride and groom, Laurel and Daniel, came to me through fab event planner, Cindy with Engaging Events. They were looking for a creative, yet soft and pretty way of incorporating “Cinco de Mayo” into their May 5th Lowcountry wedding. I learned quite a bit about the traditional Papel de Picado which are traditionally hung at Mexican celebrations. I also gained quite a bit of respect for those artists that create true punched out Papel. They are extremely complicated banners with the negative space punched out. We created a little more stylized versions. There are three flags – one each for their names, date and location. We’re also wrapping the invitation in a “Papel de Picado belt.” Also, Laurel and Cindy introduced me to this amazing Etsy Artisan: AyMujer. Just had to share his amazing work!
As always, email me for a closer look at the design!
Southern Steeple Wedding Invitations
December 11th, 2011
The lovely ladies over at Sweetgrass Social called me up to help out with their bride, Bridgette, who is planning an Autumn wedding in Charleston. Bridgette, who loves everything Charleston, wanted to incorporate the Steeple of St. Phillips Church, where she is getting married. So we incorporated the steeple into our Sweet Southern Vintage Invitation. I love seeing this design worked up in her sweet palette of light blues and yellows!
So Classic & Southern
November 17th, 2011
If I had to choose one flower that epitomizes the South for me, I’d have to choose the Southern Magnolia. It’s big and fragrant, yet so simple and uncomplicated. It also doesn’t really like to be picked. Anyone that has reached up high enough on a Southern Magnolia and plucked one of this beauties, knows it quickly browns anywhere fingers touch. It likes right were it is and is happiest when it stays connected to it’s roots. Okay – maybe my analysis has gone a smidgen too far, but I love these flowers. I grew up with them in my back yard and I love incorporating them into my designs. So, I loved putting together bride, Corey’s, invitation suite which she wanted to be clean and classic, while still bringing in a little “Southern Prettiness.”
We’re printing in all black on creamy Pearl stock for the invitation and we’re flat printing a booklet style Save the Date to incorporate a map with directions to Magnolia Plantation, where the wedding will be taking place. How crazy perfect!

Charleston Row Houses
November 15th, 2011
A few weeks back I posted the Little Love House Save the Date I came up with for Caroline and Victor Spring wedding. We’ve just finished up their invitation design. We’re printing in the same soft dove grey and pulling in a peachy-pink candy striped liner to the inner envelope.
Baby tree Announcement
November 11th, 2011
The Roden’s are welcoming their fourth here soon and mom, Carrie, contacted me a few months back with a darling design idea! She wanted a silhouette of her three children welcoming the newest baby bundle! We designed the three children around a baby basket hanging from a tree branch – love it! We’re printing the piece on soft bamboo stock with a pic of the newest bundle of joy softly printed on the back.
