I am always excited to see my work in print. Its great to see how styles evolve when the client's input is involved! I designed my friend Sara and Howie's save the dates, and here is the printed piece. This was inspired by my stock design, Amber Twilight, which is now also Sara's design!

I am currently designing my friend's wedding invitations, and have started the Save the Dates. I have designed two examples using the same design element. This is a great way to introduce a wedding style using a modern design, while still having a traditional or modern look.

My husband and I are leaving for our honeymoon tomorrow, and I couldnt' be more excited! We are going to Singapore, Cambodia, Laos, and Malyasia. It is going to be a trip of a life time, and I have been looking up information on it on Lonely Planet. Below are a few links that I found that had great pictures!

Singapore will be our first stop, we have a layover first in Tokyo, Japan which is just incredible. I have never dreamed that I would be going to Asia, so I feel incredibly lucky to be able to go on this trip. This will be perfect inspiration to get my creativity on full speed! Stay tuned for exciting blog posts and photos from our trip.

When I was thinking about what I wanted to walk down the aisle to, Canon in D as beautiful as it is, was not going to do it for me. I did use that song for my bridal party processional, as it is such a classic and gives me chills every time. However, I pictured something a bit more dramatic for my entrance.

I was in college when I first saw the movie Cruel Intentions. I have always loved the Verve and when I heard "Bittersweet Symphony" I literally teared up. The ending is so dramatic to this movie, and it has stayed with me for years.

This was the song I used for my processional. It was amazing, so amazing in fact that I didn't even hear the whole song because I was so moved. I had a staircase that I descended down from for my ceremony, so it couldn't have been more perfect. We had violins and a piano, so it was a live performance that our band learned. If you haven't seen Cruel Intentions, I highly suggest it. Below is the link to the ending of the movie with the song Bittersweet Symphony. If you still intend to see it, don't let this spoil the movie for you and go rent it ASAP!

I have always loved a classic vintage design. The romance of the sweeping lines and curls make me think of dancing the night away and sipping martinis. This design can be customized to any color scheme, making it truly one of a kind for you!

This particular design is shown using Shimmer Opal envelopes and Luxe White paper. This is highly recommended for Letterpress!

I wanted to give a shout out to all that have been commenting on my designs and supporting me in this exciting adventure. I am truly blessed to have such great people in my life! I am looking forward to creating, designing, and connecting as my business grows.

I am currently working on an invitation design for a good friend of mine. I am very excited to create her vision and make her big day official!

See below for the beginning of her wedding invitation design.

I have been married for 8 days and it feels amazing, I feel like our bond has gotten even stronger after saying "I Do". This has also made me very inspired lately, so here are some designs from my collection that express exactly how I feel at the moment. These designs are available in letterpress (pictured), or can be converted to digital prints as well.

When I was planning my wedding, my bridesmaids were one of the most important aspects of this moment in my life. They all have been there through different experiences growing up, and I couldn't of been happier to have them around me on such an important day. I wanted to personalize each gift and have it come from my heart. I created stationery for each girl based on each personality. They all have very distinct personalities, and I really wanted to showcase that. I even made a design for my wedding planner, who I did design work for. Below are the designs I made for each girl.
