NEW SWATCHBOOK!

You know, sometimes it's the little things in life that can make you so happy...for me, my happiness arrived on Tuesday when I got my new swatchbook! Incase you don't know me personally, I LOVE swatchbooks (hence the name Swatchbook Weddings)! I love paper swatchbooks, fabric swatchbooks, and even paint swatchbooks. I used to go to Home Depot and just collect the swatches of the colors I liked and make art out them :)

So here it is. The swatchbook to end all swatchbooks.

Now there are so many more paper options to really make your invitations special!!

The Thinker.

Okay, these are just too cute & funny not to share! I was working on a design when my cat, Winston, sat down next to me and started to bathe himself. I was trying to snap a picture with his tongue out but kept getting him just after---but it turned out better because now he looks like he's helping me brainstorm! Hahahaaaa!

Final Fling Before the Ring!

I was looking through my portfolio this morning and came across these bachelorette party invitations. I created them for my best friend, Amanda, so they are extra special!! We had so much fun celebrating her "Final Fling Before the Ring!" 

Hawaii Wedding Suite

Heather and I are continuing her Hawaii wedding suite! Now that her invitations are in the mail, we are working on tags for the tote bags she is giving as favors, thank you cards, and an itinerary for her wedding guests. She is personalizing the tote bags with the guest's name and including some fun beach essentials for their stay in Hawaii. After tying the tag onto the tote with ribbon, she is also including the thank you note and the itinerary of things to come that week. Some things on the agenda?? How about a trip to the spa, snorkeling and a luau! What a way to celebrate, it's going to be GREAT!!

Inspired by Nature

I saw these cymbidium orchids today & couldn't help but be inspired by the gorgeous colors! To get this bold, modern punch of color for your invitations, try layering a palette of beet, fuschia, chartreuse, and soft whites.

Island Style

This week I worked with Nicole to create a design for canvas beach bags she is giving away as favors. She is getting married in Vieques, Puerto Rico--a small, BEAUTIFUL island just off the coast of the main island. Here's how the final design turned out!

Su Vino Winery

Alright, we all know your wedding guests will be...eh hem...thirsty... so why not offer them up some custom-blended wine created by you and your fiancé?

Su Vino Winery located in the Arts District in Downtown Scottsdale lets you not only create your own wine, but create your own label as well. Choose from one of their templates or design one from scratch, this is definitely a sophisticated touch to your tables. A bottle of Su Vino also makes a great wedding party gift!
