May Flowers

It’s been a very busy Spring Wedding Season – and I congratulate all my June brides!

In the spirit of Spring, and all things ‘green’ – here is a sampling of my client’s  letter pressed envelopes.

They are from Smock Paper’s Engadine Line.

The Syracuse based company is one of the first print shops in the U.S. to use sustainable bamboo paper (and it is a dream to work on.)

I created these mini magnolia paper flowers with the help of Paper Source’s Paper Flower Kit - what a great way to honor flowers and the Earth, by ‘making’ them with recycled paper…You can reuse the pattern with other textiles like I did here with a some pages of a vintage copy of Dr. Zhivago…

What would we Anglophiles do without such a shop?  They even carry Fairy Dish Soap.

However, still miss the individual instant porridge packets.

Spies in the House of Love

“We need a witness to our lives. There’s a billion people on the planet… I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you’re promising to care about everything.

The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things… all of it, all of the time,

every day. You’re saying ‘Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it.

Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness’.”

Purple Ways

One of my recent clients chose a pretty lavender ink and a condensed version of my signature style.  Shot at the über cool Lavender Lake Lounge.  Perfect spot  for a pre or post wedding planning cocktail.    {I recommend the St. Basil.}

The Buzz

…I’ve been overwhelmed from the response of having my work featured in Martha Stewart Weddings, The Knot NJ Magazines as well as on the sites of Style Me Pretty and The Wedding Bee.  From one client referral on the Wedding Bee, my wordpress site received well over 2000 ‘hits.’  You Bees are serious!  And the requests keep coming… Word of mouth is always the best advertising whether it is shared between friends or with the world (wide web.)  Many thanks to all my former clients for their referrals.  

Remember you can submit your wedding to the Real Wedding Sections of  Wedding Websites and Magazines, like Style Me Pretty, Martha Stewart Weddings, Once Wed, and The Knot.  Many of you are so clever and artistic with your vision-it deserves to be seen!
