{Window Display} Itty Bitty Party Committee – Winter Shimmer Inspiration
It’s always so fun to see Studio 404 Weddings get a new window display. I’ve been a part of the Paper Cut Industries team since June 2011 and have had the chance to watch so many planners and creatives come to the studio with these amazing ideas & create these fabulous window displays and tablescapes. All the while I kept taking notes of things I loved about each window and started creating a concept of my own with my partner, Kathleen O’Rourke. Kathleen & I are also the proud principles of Itty Bitty Party Committee, a full service wedding & event planning company. We came to the Studio 404 team and approached them about creating a winter window scene for the holiday season and we were so honored when they said ‘yes!’.
We came to the Studio 404 girls with the idea for a whole new color pallet for the holiday season. Straying away from the reds and greens of years past, the we wanted to create a window that literally brought out of the “shimmer of winter”. With neutral whites to pop off against the metallic silvers and just a hint of dusty rose to compliment each piece, this window really evoked a winter wonderland-ish feel.
Imagine, if you will, being invited to a New Years affair. Your invitation is nestled in a gorgeous ivory satin gatefold box with glittering brooch, all created by the fabulous Monica of Paper Cut Industries. You take your place at the table and notice the bride has left her breathtaking brooch bouquet, created by Amy of Bride & Bloom Flowers, beside her plate.
Looking over the table, subtle details begin to make themselves known, such as the hearts that trim the cake, your name etched across your napkin ring or the tiny candles nestled in what looks like snow-filled vases. The twinkle of the ornaments that hang overhead make it feel as though you’re sitting in very the heart of a winter snow scape. Even though these may seem like itty bitty details, nothing about our events is ever itty bitty. Attention to detail is always paramount in our event design. Each of the napkins in our table scape include the names of the fabulous ladies that make up the studio; Monica, Amy, Charla & Erica. Even the gifts nestled under the tree have tags created from each woman’s individual business cards, such as Charla’s of Charla Blue Photography.
You will have to stop by Studio 404 Weddings and see the window for yourself during the holiday season. Don’t forget to pop in and say ‘hi’ & pick up all of the Studio 404 team’s cards! And the next time you’re thinking about hosting an event, be sure to keep Itty Bitty Party Committee in mind.
{Mingle} Utterly Spankin’ New Year Party 2010
In January Jason & I had the pleasure of attending the online wedding magazine Utterly Engaged – Utterly Spankin’ New Year Party at the Astor Classics Event Center in Anaheim, California. It was such a great opportunity to meet some of the industries’ best from photographers to bakers. They held a table scape Design Challenge to create a unique modern table scape incorporating paper, fabric or industrial materials as their main focus and stay within a $150 budget. The tables were amazing. I loved seeing the collaborations and challenges the groups came up with. Here were some of my favorites.
I am not sure who collaborated together for each table since names were withheld until the end. Check out Utterly Engaged‘s next issue to see the winners. I know this table had JL Designs on the team. Simple and gorgeous! I love the thread detail around the napkin with the menu placed on top.
Some amazing girls from The Long Beach Wedding Collective set up this design, of which I am a proud member and even more proud of what they came up with! They had a Circus theme concept complete with popcorn! Really fun reds, teals and whites throughout. Candice Bradley of Dolcissima Events, Megan of Honey and Poppies and KrisD Mauga of Krashing Moments worked together to create this table scape. Great job ladies!
This one really stood out with me too. Jason ended up voting for this table. We agreed the colors made the design masculine which we were really drawn to. I loved the muted colors (which I am totally feeling these days) and the materials were all very strong and sturdy. I loved it. This team included Lindye Galloway and Aimee Grover.
Honorable Mention went to this Urban Loft concept table scape. Delicately gorgeous. The team included JL Designs, Joyful Weddings & Events, & Olive Hue Paper. Great job ladies!

{Custom} Plumeria Wedding Stationery Set
I recently finished this complete set for Beverly & Tim’s plumeria wedding stationery. You might remember the Save the Dates I also designed for them. She decided to switch up the color of the plumeria this time and used a fuchsia pink with a lighter sage green and chocolate-brown.
The completed set began with the plumeria Save the Dates and included additional elements such as the Invitation, RSVP card, Accommodations card and Map card.
Beautiful Plumeria flowers create a gorgeous touch to this custom wedding stationery set. Digitally printed on smooth white card stock. The fresh color palette of green, chocolate-brown and white plumeria flowers with a deep purple and pink alternate center go together beautifully!
