I wanted to make something for my bridesmaids that I knew they would use, and would be really showcasing their personalities. Part of what I love most about my job is making a design come to life, and what better way to do that than for your friends! If you would like information on making that special someone in your life their own stationery set, you can request information at

My graphic design experience lends itself to design anything and everything. If it can be printed or designed for a website, than I am on it. Here is an example of business cards, one is mine, and the other is for my friend/wedding planner/client. You can also see how her business card has carried through to her website, at www.theidealday.com.

I am all about design flow. I believe it is not only pleasing to the eye, but also essential for marketing a product or service. If you would like more information on my graphic design work or any project needs, my information can be found on my website at www.jamieldesigns.com.

The wedding cake is one of the things that I ALWAYS look forward to at weddings. Something about the anticipation of all that yummy goodness at the end of a great meal just makes me happy. This is also the focus of my invitation line, appropriately called Buttercream. I am getting hungry for cake already!

My bridesmaid's were one of the most important elements in my wedding. They have been there in all different points in my life, and have influenced who I am today. I wanted to make sure they were thanked, and create something that they can look at years from now and remember....especially what they wore!

These cards can be personalized for any ensemble that you have chosen (or what your friend's have chosen) to wear on your special day. Looking to really wow your maids? Contact Jamie Lynn Designs to start your own customized set!

I wanted to make sure that all the elements in my wedding flowed. I took different elements of each piece to create a consistent design while keeping things interesting. This can be done with any element for any event, and really creates a mood to match!

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!
