Cozy, With A Touch of Rustic

 I have to admit, when I first heard Jeanne's wedding colors were red and turquoise my first reaction was not "WOW that sounds so pretty!!" However, I am a gal who can admit when she's wrong, and as soon as I googled some photos of red and turquoise weddings, well, color me embarrassed! They look AMAZING together, I only wish I could have seen the photos from the rest of her wedding. {hint, hint, Jeanne, if you're reading this, hint...}



Their style was going to be simple, with a rustic touch. November in Buffalo is definitely not toasty and warm, so they had an almost holiday-y feeling going, with jute twine, cranberries in the centerpieces, the tone she described was almost cozy feeling!



I think my favorite part of this suite is the red response envelopes, with the white writing. Definitely not the easiest thing in the world to pull off, but I think it works SO well with this design.


Thank you Jeanne and Billy for letting us design your totally rad invitations, and for teaching me to never doubt a bride's color choice again!! I'm sure your day was absolutely gorgeous.

Brides World Buffalo 2012 Recap!

Another Brides World Buffalo is behind us, and yes, it has taken me several days to write this because we have been regrouping. It is only one day (okay, one weekend if you count set-up) but oooo-wee is it a busy one! We love the whirlwind of it though! So here are some pictures, if you missed it in person:

My Mom and Kacie came to help (sorry Mom, I had to post this picture, hahaha!)




This was our sample invitation suite, we will be having a closeup, more detailed post on this later!

I was inspired by The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern for this suite, if you have not read it I definitely recommend, the imagery in it is so lovely!


This was our table in the table gallery:

It was designed to go with the invitation suite we had in the booth.

The full design featured centerpiece, candles, napkin rings, chair covers, table number, and menu/table cards.

The menu/table cards were personalized for each person. (More on this later!!)


There are my [very amateur] photos from the show, we will be posting more soon on the actual design featured, plus our drawing for the raffle we had at our booth for 75 custom thank you cards!
