The seating chart is such a great opportunity for The seating chart is such a great opportunity for personalized and interesting displays. 

This bride and groom were neighbors growing up, so they had this super fun idea to do a map centerpiece and “find your neighbor” as the heading.  After designing everything, we layed out all the pieces individually and their wedding planner found the perfect shade of green mat board for everything to go on. 

Laying it all out so it looks right takes a lot of trial and measuring, but it’s worth it in the end!  And it’s a pain, but I definitely think it’s worth it to use foam dots or something that elevates the paper a bit above the background. It gives it a little more dimension and it makes a huge difference.

Fortunately, I worked in a frame shop for a year or two after college, so I’m well versed in assembling frames. The planner sourced this cool gold frame too and it turned out so well! Team effort for the win 🙂

Since they are usually a smaller quantity, you can really do some fun stuff without breaking the bank. Throwing back to these that we did a couple years ago with a seagrass background inside a frame.

Nashville – you were a blast! From a square dancin Nashville - you were a blast! From a square dancing lesson at the @countrymusichof, an epic show seeing Rhett Akins, Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan & others at the @opry (the kids’ first concert!), a one-of-a-kind dinner at @le.petitchef, the kids’ first @nfl game, and more, we had a GREAT time! 

My Taylor Swift loving girl had to see some of the highlights of course, including breakfast at what is rumored to be her favorite breakfast spot, @pancakepantrynashville. 

And my little guy picked up some cowboy boots that he has worn every day since 🤠 

We drove out to @cheekwood as well and it was BREATHTAKING. The gardens are something out of a dream. I can see why they have a booming wedding business! 

And finally, the Hatch Studio tour will absolutely get its own post. I was in heaven.

For Fall break this year we just wanted something new that was pretty easy to get to and Nashville ended up being an awesome choice. A little over an hour direct flight was easy on everyone and made it so we could really enjoy the school break!

But in all seriousness, endlessly grateful for a job (and kind, lovely clients) that gives me the flexibility to be home when the kids need me and work on the couch after bedtime.

Also, not me using my phone to watch my back and make sure my @estellecoloredglass survived the call 🤦🏼‍♀️

Proof that timeless+traditional doesn't have to be Proof that timeless+traditional doesn't have to be boring.

On its own, the invitation is quite traditional with the exception of that lovely green color. Engraved calligraphy on ecru stock.

The details card & the RSVP card are similarly clean and classic, and even the map has a restrained elegance.

But the beautiful envelope liner featuring the gate at the reception venue, the unexpected sailboat shaped welcome party invite, the abstracted vellum belly band, and the pop of green for the reply envelope take this from plain ole traditional to an elevated, showstopping suite!

We get the inquiry all the time: how much are wedd We get the inquiry all the time: how much are wedding invitations?

Unfortunately, it’s a completely impossible question to answer. The term “Wedding invitations” is extremely broad and doesn’t denote one specific thing that can be priced. Costs can vary by hundreds and thousands of dollars one to the next.

There are a few main things that will affect your total investment, and we’re here to help walk you through all of those nuances.  It’s one of the things we pride ourselves on - transparency in our pricing and making sure during our design process that anything you change that affects cost is brought to your attention.  Making the most beautiful product possible that keeps you comfortable with your investment is our goal!

Currently laying on the sofa completely exhausted Currently laying on the sofa completely exhausted from maximizing the fun in this beautiful weather this weekend! Tennis match, tball, book club, UGA game, grandparent time, cousin time, and Halloween decorating. We packed it all in! Amazing how the slightest change in the weather makes such a difference.

Made me think of this pretty suite from two years ago where we fully embraced an autumnal palette 🍂
