2024 weddings, a collection.
Look. I can’t keep up with my blog for the life of me. Between updating my social media accounts to attract new amazing clients and then keeping my custom and semi custom collections up to date on my website to showcase the stationery suites that I feel are my best foot forward vibes - the blog is like 4 times a year at this point and that’s what we call a win. Or at least, a compromise.
But what’s great about the blog is I can share a bunch of beautiful projects I worked on throughout the year that don’t get a main spot on the website collections pages for a variety of reasons. So let’s dive in!
Above : Grace and Michael hired me to create a greenery forward, lush, romantic, elegant gatefold wedding suite. Grace shared with me a photo of her bridesmaids dresses and they were this beautiful sage green with a white floral design and lots of foliage - immediate inspiration. From there, the envelope liner was born along with some of her day of stationery! A gatefold invitation is always a favorite to create for that storybook feel. This was a dream to design!
Above : Haley and David hired me to design all of their wedding stationery from start to finish! Their wedding was at one of my favorite Hudson Valley, NY wedding venues - Glynwood Events. The views at this venue are stunning and so is their stone building. It’s like the most enchanted garden ever. I really fell in love with the wedding day paper goods we created because the theme was super focused on farm to table and garden lusciousness. I hand painted summer produce for the menu cards and used the veg artwork to create a vintage wallpaper feeling pattern for the table number cards. I also painted their signature cocktails in those super fun, summery cocktail glasses. Obsessed. Once I receive the wedding album I’ll be sure to share how this all came to life on their big day!
Above : Kathleen + MacAllister were so excited when they first reached out. They were in the very early phases of wedding planning but were certain they wanted to hire me to create their stationery and I was so honored! They had seen my Wildflower Landscape suite and loved the whole feel of it so we had a great time recreating a similar layout but customizing it to their unique color palette and vision. I also at the end suggested this floral belly band in place of a ribbon to make a real impact and show stopping moment for when the stationery was pulled out of the envelope. And that custom accordion fan with a venue painting and the watercolor florals? Soooo dreamy. We love this collection and couple so much!
Above : Jessica + Nicolas planned their wedding in upstate NY and as you can see from the painting on the front of their gatefold invitation, it’s giving romantic boat ride. I fell in love with the love for nature - butterflies, birds, state flowers, the bridge surrounded by lush trees and more. I’m always extra excited when we get to use a super fun envelope color like this gorgeous lilac. The soft, velvet crossed ribbon was the cherry on top. I adored woking with this couple!
Above : Caroline + Jay hired me to create extra special, whimsical wedding day paper goods for them! That includes a custom crest + monogram featuring their pet portraits and lots of greenery and terra cotta planters! We used the crest in a variety of places like the bar sign itinerary card, menu and table # cards. I also painted a custom itinerary card with little icons representing each celebratory moment. Our crowd favorite round menu cards made an appearance with a new color palette! And then one last final special detail, a custom die cut escort card of one of the planter pots with their pet cat peeking out of the plants up top! Each of these cards had the guests names hand written on them which made for an extra unique keepsake piece. I love all the elegant greenery and how the stationery still has a playful vibe. This was so fun to put together!
Every day I get to bring a couples vision to life is a dream come true. Running this business comes with it’s challenges [ intense deadlines and big client planning stress ] but at the end of it all, what we’re doing is working towards a celebration, big or small but special all the same, of love and adventure and taking another step in life towards your goals. It’s never lost on me that the big picture is creating truly one of a kind artwork for my couples to cherish for a lifetime.
