Pretty in Pink Polka Dots



Check out these super luxurious wedding invitations that I designed for an upcoming July wedding. Using an Envelopments® signature Pocket-fold™ in Willow, together the bride and I created this invitation that has certainly set the tone for what has promised to be an elegant and formal event. The best part about this design is that through it I have made two new friends. The bride and her mother were just lovely as we consulted on every detail. To top things off, this was a DIY project! Just like the Save the Dates in my previous post, each component was carefully measured, cut, and printed and assembly was left for the client! DIY-my new favorite acronym.

Save the Dates in a Box






I love finding a good deal, but I especially love being able to offer one. Lately I've had a ton of inquires from brides that want to have custom invitations designed for their event, but they may have a smaller budget and are afraid that no such thing exists. Well I am happy to say that I've put an end to that myth, and am offering just that - custom designed invites and accessories that won't break the bank. There is one catch though, you have to put them together yourself. Here's a preview of a Save the Date that I just delivered. I provided the printed card, the background card, rhinestones, magnets, and all of the adhesive that was needed. The bride simply put it all together! I can't show you the whole thing because they haven't been sent yet!

Who knew?



Who knew that a wedding program would have such a great effect on things. Check out these dramatic pics from infamous Albuquerque photographer Seth Goodman. You can imagine my surprise when I came across these photos while viewing the online gallery of a recent client. Camilla and Sean were married on April 19th at the San Felipe de Neri church in Old Town. I was fortunate enough to create all of the wedding stationery that was used at this wedding including save the dates, invitations, programs, place cards, seating chart, thank you notes, and food signs. Instead of carrying an ordinary flower basket, the flower girls carried small bouquets inside of 2 beautiful Swarovski jewel encrusted petal cones. To top things off, the custom logo that I created for the couple was carried throughout the event and was even shined on the wall at the reception!

My First Blog!

Hi everyone! It has become increasingly challenging to keep everyone up to date on what's happening with me and the business. I thought starting a blog would be an excellent way to keep in touch! Check back often to see what's happening in the design studio, and what's happening in mi vida loca...
