So tempting!...

Ok...so if you're a designer, you know that there's constantly new inspiration and at times you just have to contain yourself and take it one inspiration at a time! Well, I'm officially very tempted to change up my studio decor to something more like this! It just pops! I am sooo loving the feel! And of course, this room is inspired by the always fantastic Ikea.
What do you think? Any VOTES on this new venture? I know I know, I just recently spruced up the office! But the new furniture stays...it's just a little wall color change, right?? :)

Wedding Vendor Branding
On Tuesday, February 2nd at 08:24:45 AM
If you know me at all, you know that along with invitations, branding is probably the one other thing I love to do alongside event stationery. You could say branding is the bones of my work. Whether I'm 'branding a wedding' through a custom invite design or branding some of my favorite wedding vendors in the industry. So I thought, it's time to spread the word...because I know this is the one challenge that can be the hardest for most vendors. Let's face it....brides love a good image. If you're not up to par....they may just pass you by!
So a big thank you to some of the recent vendors I've branded! Obviously these are all photographers {because most photographers just seem to know the need for perfect branding...so, a big pat on the back to you if you're a photographer with branding awareness!}. But don't get me wrong...everyone in the industry needs it...and I'm here to offer it!
Below, some of the lovely photographers I've had the pleasure of branding. Thank you for the opportunity to help nurture your brand and get you to bigger and better places! You're shining now, ladies! ...and men :)
Top 5 Reasons to Send Creative Save the Dates
On Wednesday, January 27th at 09:41:03 AM
Save the date cards have become very popular in the recent years. Many style-savvy and modern couples are choosing to send save the date announcements and their popularity continues to grow. But should you consider sending save the dates for your wedding? Here are the top five reasons that could make save the date cards the right choice for you.
1. A large number of your guests are from out of town. If you have friends and family spread across the country or even the world, a save the date gives them extra time to make travel arrangements. By sending out save the date cards 6 - 12 months before the wedding, the long distance guests will have the opportunity to book flights and hotels at a better rate.
2. Perfect for your destination wedding. The trend is growing to choose fun and exotic locations for a wedding, like the Caribbean, Las Vegas, Mexico...the possibilities are endless. If you've decided on a destination wedding and are hoping your guests will be able to come along, it's a great idea to give them as much time as possible to plan. Sending save the date cards will give them the chance to schedule vacation time and make travel arrangements.
3. If your wedding date is set around a major holiday like Christmas, New Year's Eve, Thanksgiving, Labor Day, even Columbus Day weekend, your guests may make other plans unless you inform them well in advance with a save the date card. Inform guests of your wedding date before they make any other plans.
4. Be honest...you are crossing your fingers that every person on that guest list can and WILL attend. Even if your wedding is in your hometown, with mostly local people invited, on a day that shouldn't conflict with holidays or vacations, save the date cards can help you receive more RSVPs to your wedding invitation. Life is busy and people are making their own plans constantly. Since your actual wedding invitation will only arrive 6 - 12 weeks before the wedding day, your guests may have already made plans by the time they receive it. But if they know in advance about your date, chances are there will be no conflicts.
5. It's fun! There are no rules and no etiquette, so your save the date cards can be unique and creative. They can portray your personalities, hobbies, time of year you plan to get married, wedding destination, wedding colors or just about anything you desire. The possibilities are endless, from photo save the date cards, postcards, magnets and the always impressive letterpress coasters!
So with all these reasons and creative ideas, why not send a save the date? If budget is low or you have run out of time, that's ok. But if you do have ample time and want to inform your guests in good timing, go for it! If you want your guests to mark their calendars, there's no better way than a save the date.
