Custom Calligraphy Wedding Invitation

We were super excited about this gorgeous custom calligraphy invitation we did recently.  The whole thing is written by a calligraphy and then printed on a Crane 100% cotton paper in Thermography.  It really makes a statement with its larger 6x9 size and rounded corners.  This invitation can take your breath away.

Feature in Southern Living Weddings

Southern Living Weddings feature of a Hindu Fusion wedding

Southern Living’s annual Wedding Issue is on the newsstands tomorrow and we’re thrilled to have Chris and Sangeeta’s double wedding featured.

That’s right, they did two ceremonies! One Hindu and one Western to honor their diverse heritage.  In fact the whole event was a mesh of different traditions and styles.  Read more below…

Chris and Sangeeta’s Mix:

Elegant and rustic:  their reception was in a draped tent with chandeliers, all in a meadow on a private ranch in Hill Country.  Guests sat at long wooden tables with Chivari chairs. For dinner, both BBQ and Indian food was served.

Colorful and more colorful:  Hindu weddings are known for saturated colors.  Sangeeta and Chris playfully added even more color, with bouquets and table decor featuring reds, oranges, indigos and fuschias, and bridesmaids wearing bright coral dresses.

Ice cream was served right after the ceremony as is traditional with Hindu weddings, but the ice cream was Texas’ very own Bluebell, complete with the little wooden spoons.

Sangeeta went shopping for her beautiful ceremony saris in London, plus had a gorgeous Reem Acra gown for the reception.  Chris wore traditional Hindu attire paired with white Converse, then changed into a suit for the reception.

Family was super important.  Family photos were hung on many of the oak and pecan trees for the cocktail hour.  Plus, Chris’ mom made her famous pecan pies to go with the cupcakes and other traditional Indian treats.

Kentucky Derby Wedding

We were approached by a bride in New York City who is getting married in Lexington, Kentucky and we jumped at the chance to design her invitations.  We also love the fact that she trusted us with such a important part of her wedding without even meeting us.  We have finished the invitations with everything down to the calligraphy and mailed them out. Pictures will be posted soon and you do not want to miss those.  We have included here some of the inspiration for this fabulous wedding.  So excited for your Page!

Mustache Bash

We love to concept of a mustache party.  There are so many different parties for this fun theme.  It could be a baby shower, birthday party, fun addition to a wedding.  We were inspired by so many things we found on the internet and wanted to share these cute ideas with you.  

What we love now!

Custom Design: Rustic Montana Wedding Invitations

Rachel and Dan found us via Oh So Beautiful Paper and asked us to create a custom wedding invitation that matched their Montana wedding. The couple loves being outdoors hunting and fishing with their dogs. Their wedding is going to be on a rustic ranch in the mountains of Montana. When designing the invitation, our designer Emma, made sure to include imagery that reflected their love for the outdoors as well as their personal style.

Custom Destination Invitation: Puerto Rico

William and Camillia came to us wanting a custom invitation for their destination wedding in Puerto Rico. They wanted a vintage yet whimsical invitation that would capture the look and feel of their destination and get their guests excited to join them in Old San Juan. 

The invitation, reply postcard and website card were letter pressed using a soothing light grey ink with pops of magenta.

To spice things up, we added a bright yellow envelope liner and a colorful map of Old San Juan.

All of the pieces were then tied together with yellow bakers twine.
