Thanks to EME Photography for the beautiful photos!  Julie and JD were married at the Montelucia Resort in Paradise Valley.  Julie wanted everything to reflect a vintage Hollywood feeling.   It was coordinated by the amazing, hard-working Sandy Walker of In Awe Weddings.  We designed some fun signs, programs, folded menus, beautiful place cards which went in jeweled frames, a seating chart board and thank you signs.  Julie and JD also chose a black invitation pocket with flourishes that we carried throughout the entire suite of paper products and signs for the wedding.

Colleen and Brad were married at the Desert Botanical Garden in March.  Colleen shares my love of paper products, so we had a lot of fun designing her invites, programs, escort cards, etc.  They were definitely modern and fun, but they were very clean and elegant at the same time.  We had a circle theme throughout… even the menus were round!   The programs had a circle die cut in the front with their monogram showing through. 

The day was flawlessly coordinated thanks to Sandy of In Awe Weddings.  I was able to see the finished product since I assisted with the wedding that day!  Thanks to Cristi Owen for sharing her amazing photographs.  She did a great job and was really fun to work with!

One of our Brides recently purchased postage from Zazzle.com.  She is doing a vintage Hollywood feel for her wedding and decided to find stamps to enhance her invitations.  She found some really cool RSVP stamps for her RSVP postcards as well as for the outer envelope.

If you have a tight paper budget, it’s probably best to stick with the options at the local post office.  After shipping, Zazzle stamps are usually double what they cost at the Post Office. However,  Zazzle has TONS of fun options, and you can design your own.  They offer them in all different postage amounts as well.  They also have cute baby shower and birthday party stamps!

My childhood Best Friend married another good childhood friend, Matt, on October 10, 2009.  I was not only honored to be the matron of honor, but also to be the provider of their paper products.  We created some really amazing items for her.  It was a beautiful wedding, and the reception was held at the Kansas Cosmosphere.  It is an amazing venue!  We created booklet programs which were full of fun information about Kati & Matt.  They also wrote sweet notes about their bridal party.  They had a runner with a monogram we created, and  really elegant menus as well.   Thanks to Gaylon Bartel photography for the images.  They are amazing photographers!  They took photos of the awesome wedding invites, so I will have to try to get some of those!
