T.G.I.I.F.-MAUI

This letterpressed save-the-date I designed for a client has me dreaming of the warm tropical weather and whale watching dinner cruises.

I am completely inspired to start on their wedding invitations....now just have to get out of vacation mode ;)

TODDLER TUESDAY- MCKENNA'S LITTLE MIRACLE

So even though Millie is not a toddler yet, she will be soon and I wanted to show everyone her little baby announcement.  I couldn't be happier with the outcome, and the photo taken by Jackie Rohling Baughman from www.blowingdandelionsphotography.com just made the announcement ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.  The story behind this little miracle brings a tear to my eye, and I am so honored to be part of the experience.

T.G.I.I.F.-BOOTS AND BOAT SHOES INSPIRED WEDDING

Loving this fresh New England palette for my Connecticut bride who is getting married in June.  And seriously, how adorable is their website name, bootsandboatshoes.com, to tie in the Texas heritage of the groom and New England hometown of the bride's parents.  Check out their Save the Date featured in January.

Couple Kissing, Boat Shoes, The Clubhouse at Dophins Cove Quay, Flowers, Bridesmaid Dress, and Cowboy boots.

T.G.I.I.F.-A MOSSY INSPIRED WEDDING

This inspiration board was created for a November bride who is getting married at the beautiful Metropolitan Building in Queens.  All I can say is, these natural earthiness elements are oh-so-inspiring!

TODDLER TUESDAY- DAUGHTER LIKE MOTHER

Loving that my daughter's new favorite toy is her CPK doll!  Just a little blast from the past to hold you over until next week's Toddler Tuesday.  I am strapped down assembling some beautiful wedding invitations for my June brides and party stationery for my April babies!

Sorry for the grainy photos...

T.G.I.I.F.-BEACHY JEWEL TONES

These beachy jewel tones set the mood for a wedding in paradise.  Not only does it inspire me to design a watercolored invitation for a Maui bride, it makes me yearn for that tropical water and warm sunset.

Surf Board, Hand-painted Pattern, Watercolor Wave,  Table Setting, and Venue.

TODDLER TUESDAY- MORE PRINCESS DECOR

Two weeks ago I gave you a little sneak peek of Olivia's Birthday Decor and today I am showing you all the decor set up.   Olivia's mommy did such a great job styling all the paper goods!

Also, check out my etsy page for the printable princess invitation to go along with all the decor.

A BABY SHOWER INVITE

This invitation was fun in the aspect that it pushed me outside of my comfort zone.  I usually find myself gravitating towards all things vintage, and this invite was more on the traditional side.  I had a great time doing this invite, and I hope that the guest-of-honor really enjoys herself at her first baby shower!

T.G.I.I.F.-THE CREAM EVENT IN LOS ANGELES

Last night a couple girlfriends and I went to The Cream Event in Los Angeles.  If you are a Los Angeles bride, this is the "IT" event.  Be prepared to be inspired and to have fun!  Talented vendors set up shop and display their work.  There was live music, a dance-off, food truck, amazing floral arrangements, photo booths, yummy cocktails and much much more.

There was one booth in particular that stuck out in my mind...and boy I wish I knew about this shop pre-wedding.  The shop is called Antiquaria.  What sold me on this company was the option to register for all things vintage!  They have vintage china, everyday plates, glasses, kitchenware, and textiles.  Below are some images of what they have for sale on their website.....J'ADORE!
