{Custom} Red & Gold Plum Blossom Invitations
We created these custom wedding invitations for Moe & John for their Long Beach nuptials. We used a the plum blossom design we had originally created for Jessica & Chad’s wedding the previous year. The red & gold plum blossoms were incorporated throughout the entire invitation suite. Moe & John’s invitations were printed on gorgeous linen card stock. We created a rich invitation, as well as a custom map with a directions card that helped guests find the ceremony & reception venue. The invitation & directions card were held together by a sweet paper band featuring the bride & groom’s name & wedding date.
We chose the plum blossom over the cherry blossom because of the fuller bloom it creates.
In this suite:
Wedding Invitation
Map & Directions Card
Flat Printed Envelope
Belly Band
Jessica & Chad incorporated day-of elements into their design suite. We created unique & richly designed Table Numbers & Place Cards which worked perfectly with the theme of their wedding. This delicate & culturally unifying imagery helped capture the love they have for each other. The dark brown & red looked like a painting on the laid ivory card stock. Subtle accents of gold are found throughout the designs.

{custom} Rachel & Boris Destination Wedding Invitations
Last week before I took a little trip to San Francisco, I was able to complete and deliver these beauties to Rachel. If you remember the Save the Dates then you know these were going to be amazing color palette of chocolate dipped in a sea of aqua and white. Such a delicious combo! We used chocolate pocket folds to hold all the elements. We kept with the aqua colored envelopes, and once you open the envelope, their emblem was raised on the cover. Such a treat on whats to come!
The invitation was on the inside front flap accompanied by a double-sided Map card, Accommodations card and a RSVP postcard. All printed on crisp white linen card stock. Don’t forget Rachel ordered a custom rubber stamp to make labeling these envelopes a cinch!
I love doing custom work and Rachel is just a doll to work with. So much more to come! Think favors and welcome cards. Oh yeah! Such a completely detailed event. What do you think?
{Styled Chic No. 1} Colors: Purple Reign Invitations
If you tuned in last week, you saw I will be posting a new design series called Style Chic. Last week, I presented a photo as inspiration. Often times, a room in a couples house is a true insight on their personality, and they normally don’t look there! Try and pull away from magazines such as The Knot or Martha Stewart Weddings that tell you what kind of couple you are. Look to each other as inspiration for something truly unique. For this Style Chic No. 1, I took this totally hip and modern room shot from Crate & Barrel. Here is the photo from last week.
The wedding suite I designed consisting of an Invitation, belly band and RSVP card. I love working with different color palettes. I took the cream, black and purple tones as my palette. There are so many combination’s that can come from from this including the silver from the wall, but I wanted something a little different. I also took the pattern from the pillow and incorporated it on the belly band. Perfect!
I created a custom monogram to layer on the belly band to really give some punch and brand the couple. I used an ivory cream linen card stock to add some richness and flat printed them. These could just as well be letterpressed! I would pair these with gorgeous ivory cream envelopes and a custom rubber stamp. *wink
The accompanying RSVP card. Clean and sophisticated.
The Invitation. Modern and chic.

{Styled Chic No. 1} Colors: Purple Reign Invitations
The latest trend for Fall weddings is definitely going to include lots of purples. When choosing colors for your wedding or special event, the colors help convey the theme and really tie everything together. So you really want color combination’s that work and convey balance. Consider going monochromatic as well by using shades of one single color.
To most people, labeling a color with it’s well-known spectrum name invokes a similar image. I like to be more specific and say raspberries, plums and wine instead of purple. Doesn’t that help you visualize totally different colors? Me too.
This Tux Leather Chair from Crate & Barrel is a beautiful plum purple.
Most of my clients look to conventional wedding magazines for their color palettes. I like to go beyond that. Looking at objects like this one can show you that color palettes and inspiration can be created from anything. I am going to be starting a new blog series titled, {Styled Chic}. This will be sort of a design challenge for myself but it will really help my clients understand the capabilities of looking beyond The Knot magazine suggestions (*wink ). Think beyond the page and follow your own beat! Open your eyes and look around what inspires you and truly reflects you as a couple or brand. This will help capture the personalities of the company or couple’s special event. Then the design will be featured in my Etsy Boutique and a Signature Collection that can be purchased.
Here is the first challenge: Turn this space into an invitation. Room interiors can often really capture a couples personality. Photos of family, heirlooms and items bought while traveling. Colors also help capture this because they evoke feelings. This image definitely shows a chic couple that is on top of their game. Bold and graphic, modern and clean. I personally would not have such a light wood floor, but my challenge is to create an invitation and brand this couple, not redecorate their boudoir!
Check back next week to see my interpretation and answer to this Styled Chic No. 1.
