GREAT GATSBY INSPIRED WEDDING

I am a sucker for vintage inspired weddings, especially one's that are inspired by the art deco era.  The bride's attention to detail was impeccable, and I had such a fun time collaborating with her to help make this their dream wedding.  The programs, menus, place cards and seating chart were all designed by EKD to sit perfectly with all the other design elements of the wedding.

CALIFORNIA WEDDING DAY INSPIRATIONAL PHOTO SHOOT

Not too long ago I worked with California Wedding Day to create papergoods that would sit well with vintage china to inspire brides for their reception.  I am definitely happy with the results.  Check out the photos on California Wedding Day.

A CURIOUS GEORGE BABY SHOWER

Monkey see, monkey do, the mom-to-be was having two!  And since the mom-to-be's favorite childhood book series was Curious George, there was no better way to honor her but to have a baby shower decked out in a yellow and red Curious George theme.  Thankfully we had the talented Nicole Gigler Photography (formerly known as Cutie Photootie) there to take photos of all the fun!

MONSTERS, INC. BIRTHDAY PARTY

So if you haven't noticed, it's been a long time since I have blogged.  Needless to say, I have been super busy with both work and family.  I promise I will do my best to post more.

 

Today I wanted to share a birthday party that EKD helped create.  Although I can not take full credit since Berlin's mom is an exceptional party planner, as a team we collaborated amazingly to create fun paper crafts for an adorable birthday party.

TODDLER TUESDAY- A GRINCH-THEMED INVITATION

Tis the season, and how fitting to have a Grinch-themed first birthday party.  I had so much fun designing this invitation, and you better believe The Grinch was playing in the background.

T.G.I.I.F.- A TRAVEL-THEMED BRIDAL SHOWER

This invitation package was designed for a very special person and dear friend of mine.  Her mother and sister came to me with a theme already in mind, and together we conceptualized all of the personal elements we wanted to include in the package that would give a tour of the bride's personal life experiences.

Her fiance collects vintage locks and keys, so we decided to wrap the invite suite with a key and jazz it up with a luggage tag.

Since it is a travel-themed shower, we only saw it fitting to make the invitation look like a train ticket.

Jen loves to cook, and so we came up with the idea to add in 3 recipe cards from countries she has visited.

Another thing we included in the package were "travel-themed" songs, to set the mood for the shower.

And last but not least, every guest received a vintage postcard that Jen's sister and bridesmaid chose from the Long Beach Flea Market to represent Jen and her fiance's love for flea market shopping.
