Romantic Blush + Gold Wedding

Be still my heart.

This custom wedding suite is one of my most favorite projects ever.

I got to explore new territory and try some different printing methods.

We did pink letterpress with the added glam of gold foil.

Envelopes were lined with a custom floral watercolor pattern which is probably my favorite part of the suite.

Mama's Sauce did the letterpress and foil for me and they were so insanely wonderful to work with. So on-point, answered emails quickly, knowledgable, 

super nice and really quick! If you are looking to do this type of printing 

please check them out. You won't be disappointed. I promise.

For favors the bride and groom had a custom coffee roast brewed and we designed up custom coffee bags! They named the brew "Crescent Beach" because it's where they first said "I love you" and where the groom proposed...in a plane...flying over the beach! Sheesh if that's not the most romantic thing I don't know what is. Seriously. 

I got the bags printed at Roastar.com who also did an incredible job!

We wrapped the bags in vellum strips and they doubled as escort cards, 

telling the guests where to sit.

Such a gorgeous event from start to finish and such amazing 

attention to detail!

We Shot a Wedding 2.0

My husband and I do not consider ourselves professional 

photographers but we were asked {for a second time} to capture

 the moments of a lovely couple's "I do's."

The ceremony was held at our home church in April. 

We traveled to a near by park to get some nice outdoor shots.

The weather was beautiful and it was just about "golden hour."

We also got permission from a nice gentleman to use his 

beautiful hundred year old barn* as a back drop for some 

of the bridal party shots.

Such an easy couple to shoot. 

They were fun and certainly in love.

*The nice man told us how old the barn was but I don't remember. It had to be at least a hundred. I think.

Lovely Letterpress.

Breath taking...right?

Minted just launched a gorgeous Letterpress line with an 

inaugural collection of 30 invitation suites and Stache + Kiss is one of them!

They are hand pressed on beautiful 100% cotton paper.

Honored to be a part and can't wait to see them!

Peacock

I designed this Peacock Wedding Suite for a friend who got 

married back on 11-11-11. {Why does that sound so long ago?}

{The entire "suite"}

The wedding colors, as you might guess, were navy blue, lime green 

and a little bit of purple {Colors of a, you guessed it, Peacock!}

I had a lot of fun working with this theme.

Carrie and Joey wanted something traditional yet fun too!

They did a great job carrying the Peacock theme throughout.

Even the Bridal Shower was totally "Peacocked" out!

The wedding was beautiful.

I know that Carrie and Joey are enjoying being newlyweds.

What a great couple!

As Sweet As Cake!

Here is the latest and greatest. I designed this card for my soon-to-be sister-in-law for her bridal shower. It's not the typical Penelope Poppy style, I did something a little different this time.

I think it's really cute, I decided to dress it up a little with some Swarovski® crystals.

This card is currently for sale in the Penelope Poppy Etsy Shop!

Love In Paradise

This past weekend was my soon-to-be sister-in-law's {wow, that's a lot of hyphens} bridal shower. I designed "everything print" for the shower. My s-t-b {let's abbreviate} s-i-l, Lauren is also a designer. Designing for another designer can be really tough. I really wanted her to like them and thankfully she was very pleased with them!

The project included: invitations, recipe cards, marriage advice cards, a game sheet + bingo card, water bottle labels and signage for the doors! I really like how it all came out.

My sister-in-law Rachel's shower is next month {yep, you read it right....2 showers/2 weddings same family within 2 months of each other....it's been wedding mania} and I am designing her invitations {and some other goodies} too so stay posted!
