A while back we introduced you guys to the fabulousness that is Melangerie…a NY based design studio that specializes in wedding and event details. Each project is so totally thoughtful, so completely adorable, I had to share their latest creation with you!

Are you dying to know what each and every little goodie is? Well, here’s the low-down from the girls at Melangerie…

In May 2009, Eve & Peter were married on the bride’s family farm in Litchfield, CN. Inspired by their lush wedding location, we created this welcome gift featuring a variety of organic and locally sourced products.

The contents of this mélange included a bottle of wine, black peppercorn from the bride’s family farm, a lavender plant-in-a-bag, lavender and black peppercorn soap (hadmade in Brooklyn by SkinnySkinny), and two of the bride & groom’s favorite chocolate chip cookies from Hampton Chutney Company. We also created a custom guide to the wedding weekend including event and transportation details, along with a list of recommended locales from the bride and groom.

These items were all packaged together in a silk-screened burlap sack we designed to reference farm grain packaging. A coordinating hang-tag with a note from the bride and groom attached on the outside of the bag, welcoming guests to the wedding weekend.

So stinking cute! And, if that wasn’t enough, the girls are also starting to craft details for the chic bride that they are selling in their etsy shop. Take for example this RIDICULOUS “Dirty Laundry Kit”…

Love, love, love!!! I completely heart Melangerie and find so much inspiration from the work that they do. They often work hand in hand with some of the best planners, florists and designers to craft wedding accoutrements that are unbelievably thoughtful and unique. Check out their site for more eye candy!

Genealogy Charts by Melangerie

Thanks to the recommendation from Amy Atlas, we are chatting about the amazingness that is coming out of Brooklyn-based design firm Melangerie. And, their newly launched Genealogy Charts are just so incredibly cool, I had to share…

From the horse’s mouth…

“Wedding genealogies are customized charts, similar to a family tree, that detail the relationships of the bride and groom to all of their wedding guests. Great for the cocktail hour and receptions, these charts fill guests in on who’s a friend from childhood, a neighbor, a family member, and more.

We have three distinct chart aesthetics available in a myriad of formats. Couples can customize the chart best suited to the style and environment of their wedding, and keep the diagram afterwards as a unique piece of memorabilia. We hope you enjoy glancing through the following samples!”

The above option is my fav…this chart features a modern design using seating information, icons, color and size of tables to denote personal connections. All information and colors are customizable. SO COOL.

I also love this family tree style option…a design that organizes groups of friends and family by branches of categories and color. All information and colors are customizable.

If these aren’t the perfect way to personalize your wedding, I’m not sure what is! It’s also a pretty incredible keepsake that will forever remind you of those people who were there to help make your wedding the best day of your life. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Melangerie for designing such an innovative product!

Wedding Details by Melangerie

Today’s featured Amy Atlas table had THE cutest silhouette boxes (and signage and candy bar wrappers) to add to the charm of her already perfect design and I just had to know who was behind these little gems. Turns out, it’s Melangerie…a NY based design company that specializes in bespoke gifts, chic memorabilia and event details for all types of occasions. Weddings included!

When one of their clients wanted to surprise her friend with a flower arranging class, Melangerie crafted this handmade paper flower bouquet that announced the lessons on an attached note. So cute!

This is probably my favorite of all of Melangerie’s featured designs…it’s a custom Spice Book designed for a woman’s 90th birthday party. The book is filled with her friend’s and family’s recipes along with a spice box containing the appropriate seasonings with which to make them. LOVE.

This time inspired wedding invitation was crafted for a couple who met through a series of “fortuitous events.” Along with the invitation, the couple gave their guests a mixed CD of their favorite songs, all related to time.

I am so glad that Amy shared this incredible source with us! Melangerie is THE place to find inspiration for really cool, wonderfully personal wedding favors and gifts. Their capabilities are so far reaching…custom event identities, invitations, correspondence, favors, packaging and welcome gifts. The best part though is that each design is crafted with TLC and reflects the client’s personality to perfection.

Thank you so much to Amy and to Melangerie!
