WILL YOU BE MY BRIDESMAID?

Recently I was asked to help two wonderful brides put a fun new twist on the classic question of "Will you be my Bridesmaid?"  Both of these girls wanted me to create something both beautiful and fun to send to the girls who would (hopefully!) stand with them on their wedding day.  I was obviously so excited to be a part of such a special tradition.  I was also really excited to be able to take a stab at something I hadn't done before.  Here is what we came up with!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

I think Valentine's day is such a lovely day.  So far mine in particular has been pretty delightful.  Lately I have been quite busy (not complaining!) so I wasn't able to do as much as I wanted to, but I did squeeze in a few projects for some of the wonderful people that I love.  This year my husband and I are celebrating our first married Valentine's Day so I wanted to do something extra special for him.  I decided to letter the e.e. cummings poem that we read at our wedding and have it printed for him.  Here is a smaller version of the poster:  

I also did a few smaller valentines to send through regular old snail mail (which is my absolute favorite...I mean who doesn't love getting mail?!)  I found a pack of beautiful Rifle Paper Co. postcards so I just spiced them up a little with some lettering and some vintage postage.  I only had a handful, so if you didn't get one it doesn't mean I don't love you.  

My last fun Valentine's project was something for my good friend Kelly.  This year instead of sending out a Christmas card, she and her husband Seth decided to send out Valentine's cards to all of their friends and family (how flipping cute!).  She asked me to letter a verse for them to put on their card and of course I happily obliged.  

That's all for now.  Happy Valentine's Day to all!

StudioWed's Inspired Bride Event Recap

I am so pleased to announce that I am the newest vendor of StudioWed Nashville!!  StudioWed is an AMAZING resource for the planning bride and I fully recommend that those of you who are in the planning process check out what they have to offer.  They have an amazing array of vendors and resources to help you figure out everything from the big picture down to the smallest detail.

This past weekend they hosted the Inspired Bride event for Nashville brides and I was so happy to be a part of it!  I helped to greet brides and planners at the door by writing their name tags in calligraphy, did some tags for the swag bags, had a couple of giveaways, and made some signage to go around the venue.  Brides spent their afternoon checking out what a handful of Nashville's best vendors had to offer.  Or, if you're me, walking around sampling treats from The Sugar Wagon {their chocolate peanut butter cups are to diiiiiiie for}, watching videos from Focal Point {I dare you not to shed one glistening tear}, and swooning over the GORGEOUS tablescapes featured by Hillary of Brocade Designs {I can't promise I won't renew my vows this year just to have more of her flowers!!!}.

I am also happy to report that Hillary asked me to help complete the look of her Rustic Elegance tablescape by creating some menus and place cards.  Check out the beautiful photographs of that table courtesy of Justin Wright.

Engagement Party Invitation

I have to admit I have been slacking on my blogging quite a bit lately...fortunately, that's because I've been super busy!  I'm excited to update y'all on all of the projects I've been working on over the last month - first things first, an engagement party invitation.  It's always especially fun to have the opportunity to create something for your friends, and this is no exception!  Cameron and Mikey are great friends of ours who are getting married in April.  I was so happy to make this invitation for their engagement party - I hope they (and you) like it!
