Sugar flowers



In case I haven't raved enough about Wild Orchid Baking Company, here are some shots of Erin's absolutely gorgeous, realistic, hand-crafted, edible sugar flowers.

Hot off the press



Brides Magazine's February/March 2009 issue features one of our invitations. It's the one split by the seam in the page (sigh) with the stylized palm leaves, perfect for a tropical wedding. It's definitely one of my favorite envelopes of all time with the leaves fanning across the entire back flap.



Thanks to Myha & Eric who inspired the designs and to Brides for putting it out there!

Spring cleaning

Though not quite spring yet (Punxatawney Phil saw that shadow) the new office space has encouraged me to get a bit more organized here at the studio. Fabulous Colleen and Daphne helped me by sorting out all of our overprints into neat piles for samples.



They're now all bagged, tagged, boxed and on the shelf for easy reference. How very satisfying.

Catching up

While the shop is still abuzz with new wedding work, settling into the new office, preparing for exciting things to come, I thought I'd finally upload a few images of work we've done recently.

There've been a spate of skylines lately, which makes me pretty happy. From the uber-simple cross-Atlantic sketch to a more detailed windy city, couples are embracing their hometowns and wedding locales to create unique save-the-date cards.







On the textured cotton paper, the sox look delightfully soft!



We've also worked with some local designers lately, who bring us these great works. I love the blue sparkles on this fourth of July save the date card.



The two-tone blue-tone flower is subtle and elegant.



With (hopefully) the worst of the winter behind us, here's a blast from this past season's invitations. We were able to find this perfect snowy vellum for the envelope lining and matching belly bands, and together with the blind embossed snowflake it creates a wintery wonderland of an invitation.





We're hard at work with designs for summer weddings now, and it's nice to think ahead to the warm lushness that awaits (and the longer days, too!).
