I couldn’t possibly have a day of paper without featuring the brand nearest and dearest to my heart, Abby Jean. Many of the Abby Jean invitations were designed by yours truly, so whenever I see them, my heart does a little pitter patter. Abby Jean is the reason that Style Me Pretty even exists…it’s where I learned how to run a business, how to find and develop beautiful things. In all honesty, it’s the reason that...

As many of you know, before I wrote Style Me Pretty, I designed a line of invitations called Abby Jean…I sold my little company to the talented girls at Fontaine Maury, though I continue to work really closely with the brand. I am totally in love with their new designs as it seems like our two aesthetics just blend seamlessly.

Well, I am partnering up with Abby Jean once...

I am soooooo excited about this next invitation suite. The girls at Abby Jean partnered with one of my all time favorite Little Black Book members, calligrapher Laura Hooper, to create the most gorgeous tiffany blue and white invitation…

New photos are in! I just got the new images that have been taken of the Abby Jean wedding line and they are so cute, I had to share them with you. The photos were all taken by Rinne Allen…

This first design is called Sophie. It is sweet but sophisticated, with a little vintage flair. This particular design is letterpressed with a faded black/brown ink, then uses the striped reception card to...

In our Q & A session the other day, someone mentioned giving silhouette gifts…well, I have something even better! The girls over at Fontaine Maury have come up with this brilliant new idea for using silhouettes elegantly and timelessly. In a nutshell, you send them a photo of you and your hubby (or you, your hubby, your pup, your kids…whatever really) and they will integrate your custom silhouette into wallpaper,...

Hi everyone! We are finally settled in Boston after a brutally long week of moving. But, we arrived to PERFECT weather which makes the whole thing seem worth it.

Okay, let’s get to it. For those of you that don’t already know, Abby Jean recently joined forces with Fontaine Maury, a great custom stationery company based out of Georgia. The girls at Fontaine Maury have such a smart aesthetic, but more importantly, they have big dreams for Abby Jean and together, we are going...

Over the weekend, I devoured the latest Domino magazine. For those of you that don’t know me, this is my very favorite magazine in the entire world…I literally wait by the mailbox for it to come each month. Then I wait until I can find the perfect uninterupted moment to really read it, (i.e. Sunday afternoon with the windows open, my pup asleep on the floor and a hot cup of coffee in hand) to completely absorb every page. My love affair with...

update…more lovely invitations pics have been posted today!

Before I dive into the current invitation trends, I wanted to mention something that my good friend, Christine Traulich, at RedBliss said to me recently…“Invitations should reflect personal style rather than the trend-of-the-moment.” This is so true. This should be the mantra that you repeat over and over again throughout the entire wedding process. Your wedding is...
