Having designed a few invitation suites myself, I know that there are many steps to the process and many pieces to keep in mind when thinking of your wedding stationery. A couple of big questions I always get are 'When do I send everything out?' and 'What do I write on my wedding invitation?' So, I'm beyond thrilled to have our very own LBBer and wedding invitation designer, Chelsey Emery here today with some fabulous invitation wording...
"Wedding Invitations & Stationery"
What do you get when you combine glittery gold, confetti, champagne bubbles, chevron and pretty pinks?! Well, my friends, you get happy SMP bloggers and one gorgeous Kate Spade-inspired invitation suite from the oh-so-talented Nichole of Coral Pheasant Stationery + Design. She stuns me every time with her designs that are always so beautifully assembled, and this one? Right up there...
I have a grin from ear to ear today. Why, you ask? It's officially Spring!!! And there are so many things to love about that. I am personally celebrating a few things... today is my seven year anniversary with the love of my life, I'm looking forward to planting my garden, walks on the beach with our pup, and I'm SO ready for all of the sparkling new inspiration to come on SMP and SMP Living! We're starting off fresh today with...
I am SO excited to share this LBBer spotlight with y'all today! First off, because Mark + Stefanie, the designer couple behind Montreal-based Tartine Paperie are THE sweetest and not to mention, pretty darn talented folks. My crush on these two is further proven by their love for letterpress, travel + amazing food, all of which inspire their elegant Wedding Collection designs. We're getting a detailed behind the scenes look into a few of...
We have some time carved out today for a few hours of sheer beauty and that beauty goes by the name of Claire Pettibone; mastermind of some of the most glamorous gowns we've ever laid eyes on. For her latest collection, Claire teamed up with Kristy Rice, the artist behind Momental Designs for papergoods that fit right in with all those gorgeous gowns. Watercolor, gold...
Just like Lucy + Ricky, milk + cookies, and x's + o's... invitations + calligraphy were meant to be together. It goes without saying that we have a pretty fabulous group of invitation designers and calligraphers representing the LBB, many of who collaborate and make sparks fly. Well, lucky me (!) I got to chat it up with one of those super talented calligraphers and a personal favorite of mine, the lovely Molly Jacques of...
Saving the Date is often your first official wedding task, and therefore, pretty darn exciting. You get to talk paper with your favorite designer, dream about your big day style, and plan the very first part of your wedding people will get to see. When Allison Barnhill Designs was pulling the knot a little tighter with her husband of ten years, she planned a Storybook Vow Renewal, and the first foray into the big day was superb.
We love hearing from grooms who love weddings as much as we do. And we LOVED hearing from this sweet, sweet groom. His passion for his special day and his new wife shine through his words (make sure to read them) as well as through this fabulously planned California winery wedding, captured by Laurie Bailey Photography. You won't want to miss a minute, so after you've heard from the groom below...
You might remember we partnered with the paper geniuses at William Arthur to create a Style Me Pretty wedding invitation line. And we are still beside ourselves, bursting with excitement about some of the designs we're working on, guilty of more than one...
We are spicing things up a bit this afternoon, and handing over the blogging reins to one of our favorite stationery stars, Gia of Betsywhite Stationery, for our first monthly installment of Behind the Scenes - where we pull back the curtain to the studios of some of our favorite designers! You'll understand why we are kicking off the series with...
