I love how the Colorful Leaves theme can either feature the bright magentas and greens of Caladium leaves invitation, or it can be a very romantic and vintage theme featuring a mix of deep purples and silvery greens to pair with the Begonia leaves invitation. The Begonia and Caladium leaves make a striking pair with … Read More
The Caladium Plant invitation is a perfect invitation for a couple that gardens together.

I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July yesterday! Our day was delightfully quiet…a painting in the morning, a trip to Anthropologie, wonderful food at Dandelion Pub, falling asleep to the sound of illegal fireworks. Oh yes, and I also designed this invitation yesterday. The Cobblestone invitation features a watercolor cobblestone border that travels … Read More

Here are a few ideas I found around the web to inspire the couple who is considering the playful Tandem Bike theme at their wedding. Having a tandem bike at your reception is pretty much a requirement if you are going to go with the Tandem Bike theme. Especially for the opportunity to get … Read More
I have expanded the Tandem Bike theme into escort cards and table numbers. I am a big fan of the invitation design or theme expanding into the reception and/or ceremony decor.

What I love about the Sunset Birds Save-the-Date I designed is that it doesn’t work solely for beach weddings because the ocean is not in it. This Save-the-Date would work well in conjunction with the Sunset Invitation, or with a separate unrelated invitation. I am a strong believer that the Save-the-Date is a great opportunity, … Read More

Another great way to bring a Spring vegetable theme to a wedding is through the menu design. This menu can be used in conjunction with the Two Peas invitation, or as a stand alone piece. Menus are a simple way to bring your theme to the reception. They are a beautiful element to lay across … Read More
The Two Peas invitation design is a play on the “two peas in a pod” theme, because it actually shows the full pods. In a different way, this symbolizes two peas that are growing to maturation side-by-side, which is essentially what a healthy couple does. The vibrant green envelope is a lovely way to introduce … Read More
