Custom Wedding Monogram
Recently I worked with local wedding planner extrodiare, Bentley Clark of Savoir-Faire Events, to create a custom wedding monogram for her upcoming July wedding. She was so easy to work with! In fact, I think that we just exchanged a few emails and she gave a me quick vision a I came up these ideas:
Do you need a custom monogram? Contact me for pricing! info@elvamariesfinepaper.com
My favorite was the first one, but Bentley chose the second one. Check out these super cool Save the Dates that Seth and Desiree at Jones Photo Art made with it using some of their engagement photos. Love them! (The pics scanned in crooked, they cards were perfect)
Cool Blogs
I just posted a link to some of coolest blogs!
First, I found Felt and Wire by Strathmore Writing and Script. This will surely impress you if you are as addicted to paper as I am! Right now they are featuring a sampling of cool circus themed letterpressed pieces...Sigh, letterpress! Where are you in NM?
Second, Karen from Celebrations! Wedding and Events has just started her blog to talk about some of the weddings that she's recently worked on. Right now there is a princess wedding featured - that I was fortunate to work on with her.
And finally, there is Midori Ribbon's blog that I just love for love's sake. Midori Ribbon is the best ribbon out there, and I sure have been buying a lot of it lately!

In the Studio
It's been a crazy crazy past few weeks, and I finally have proof that I have been working! Take a look at some of the jobs orders that I have finished recently...
Veronica and Simon are having a sophisticated wedding set with coppers, creams, and indigo. We came up with the most beautiful Save the Date, and it was hard to come up with an invitation idea that would compliment it but not be exactly the same. We came up with this beautiful pocket fold invitaton with Midori ribbon and Swaroski crstal accents. Love it!
Molly and Josh are having an outdoors wedding at the stunning Bishop's Lodge in Santa Fe. Molly definatley wanted to stick with a sunflower motiff, as this will be the 'theme' that is carried throughout the wedding. Her colors are clover and white, and together we came up with this simple, but elegant invitation to match.
My first quincenera invitation was for Evelynn, whe is turning 15 in May. I was excited to take on this job for 2 reasons; 1. It's the first quincenera that I've done from start to finish and 2. because the family of from a small town called Socorro, New Mexico and I was excited to branch into new territory in the state. Anyway, Evelynn is a girl who knows what she likes and she loved this turquiose pocketfold invitation white linen inserts and thermo ink. On the cover we choose to use a hot pink border and a Swaroski crystal accent.
Estella and I met in our College of Santa Fe days, and she is having a Black and White Ball to celebrate her upcoming MBA graduation. This piece is sooo totally different than the standard issued college gradation invite! I love it! It also gave me the chance to show of some super cool fonts that I recently purchased. Congrats Stella! I still haven't decided if I'll be walking the line with you all...
Betty and Larry are an older couple who wanted something simple, but elegant. I think that these ecru linen and teal invitations fit the bill. We used thermo ink in black and teal and then attached the invitation facecard to another teal layer of cardstock.
