Sophisticated Natural

I’m so excited to share one of our recent creations. Our client is celebrating her wedding at her parent’s property, and wanted something that felt earthy and tactile to suit the location as well as her personality. We incorporated her natural color palette of  chocolate brown, ivory, and khaki. My favorite detail on this invitation [...]

Tie It Up!

Sometimes it’s fun just to talk shop. It’s fun to gather information and share information within your industry and with fellow paper lovers. It can be a joy to discuss the various pleasures of freshly printed ink, certain kinds of envelopes, and pantone chip matching. It is with this spirit that I’m happy to launch [...]

House Portraits from JPress Design

Happy Friday everyone! I had the chance to chat with one of my dear designer friends, Susan from JPress Designs yesterday, which reminded me of how much I love her. Susan and I graduated from the University of Tennessee’s graphic design program together, and I often credit her with giving me the tools and knowledge [...]

When Do I Mail This Sucker? And other postal thoughts…

‘Tis the season for designing and printing wedding invitations! We have been busy little bees here in the studio, and I thought I’d address some common questions that people have when they are picking up their ‘hot off the press’ invitations and preparing to pop them in the post. Mailing invitations is a whole facet [...]

The Real Wedding of Catherine & Foster

Catherine and Foster just happened upon our studio while they were in town for the Tennessee/Arkansas football game. They were staying at the fab downtown boutique hotel, The Oliver (our neighbor) and they stumbled past our window… slowed down… slowed down some more… stood in front of the window…chatted amongst themselves… and finally walked on [...]

A Lost Art

In my humble opinion, there is nothing more worth the splurge than gorgeous calligraphy, especially on a wedding invitation. I’m always reminding clients that their invitation is the very first thing that guests will see regarding their wedding, which is why it is such an important part of their event. In actuality, before the invitation, [...]

Polka Dots & Confetti!

Thanks to all who made this winter/Christmas/Hanukkah/holiday card season a big success for us… we so appreciate your support of our work. Looking ahead, it’s just a short few weeks before the ball drops and a New [...]

Yellow + Blue: Odd, but true!

Lately, I’ve seen a beautiful trend in color palettes that are geared toward the soft, natural, light, and airy. Lovely shades of blush, nude, silver, subtle gold, and cream or ivory are flooding wedding magazines and trend setting wedding blogs. The pastel colors have been so popular, that it downright made me pause and look [...]
