Aimee & Kevin's hot pink & navy invitations

I love the hot pink & navy color combination, super fresh & fun. And I love that Aimee and Kevin used this combo with the damask design...






Aimee & Kevin chose thermography printing, making the design and color really pop!

Kara & Ben's fleur de lis invitations

I was just looking through some invitations from this fall and found Kara & Ben's. I thought I'd share it with you because it's a really great example of the flexibility that Blush Paperie offers.

With Kara & Ben's invitations, they asked if they could add a fleur de lis to the invitation... of course! This was a perfect way to set the tone for their event...



Kara also asked if we could do a horizontal rsvp card (this design usually has a vertical). So we designed one for her and it worked perfectly since she had a lot of text for her rsvp card....



Kara also added an insert for a rehearsal reception invitation. We sized these at 4x6 to make sure everything fit and looked great...


Kara & Ben's invitations were printed thermography on off white linen. Everything was printed in chocolate brown. This is another example where 1 color printed thermography looks beautiful! Kara was so great to work with and I wish them tons of happiness. :)

Custom Peacock Wedding Invitations & Reception Stationery

Lindsey & Josh's peacock themed invitations and reception stationery were some of my favorite from the entire year.

Their save the date was a tri-fold. The middle was left blank so that they could attach a photo. They were printed thermography on white linen paper and these pictures can't possibly do these colors justice - in person, they absolutely pop!




For their invitation, we combined an ornate graphic with the peacock feather...



Carrying the thermograph feather design to the envelope -




Their programs were 3 layers connected by a navy satin ribbon.



We switched things up a little and used this fun, vibrant peacock design for some of their reception stationery...




And the menu served as a table number and menu, which their coordinator, Sarah Sleeth of StyleHouse placed in menus on their tables.

Lindsey & Josh were married this past weekend at Maison & Jardin and I can't wait to see photos! I am sure it was a fabulous event!!

Update: Oh my goodness... I just saw Lindsey & Josh's photos on the CostaloStudio.com blog... you have the check these out... incredible!

Custom invitations - Chicago wedding

Here are some photos of a custom design invitation suite I created for a bride in Chicago. The ornate design was printed in black thermography on 130# off white linen stock. Even though I am a huge fan of color, every time I see an all black invitation printed in thermography, I absolutely love the striking quality and crisp look.











Congratulations to Michele and Jason who were married on November 7th. I hope to see pictures! :)

Confetti Cannons ...

Have you guys heard of these before? I was just reading Lisa from e-events blog and she had a video trailer from Tanya & Carl's wedding and in it there is a scene of confetti cannons going off for their first dance!!! Amazing! You have to check this out. Talk about wow factor!

Tanya & Carl were absolutely wonderful to work with. Sincerely one of the sweetest couples ever! For their invitations, we incorporated a crest with their names and date with our feather design. The invitation & rsvp were held in a chocolate booklet.









Many congrats to Tanya & Carl. From your trailer by Jeffrey Stoner, it sure looked like you had the perfect wedding day :)
