Well Said – Thoughtful Ceremony Program Pages

I am a big fan of ceremony programs! I can’t think of a better way to include your guests and help them connect in a personal way to the ceremony. Often brides create very simple programs or exclude them totally for fear they will end up in the trash. I completely understand this fear but […]

Inspired Ink – Bouquet by The Desinger's Co-Op

I just love the use of clover (I believe), so unexpected! Immediately drawn to the monochromatic loveliness, I knew I had to create an invitation to compliment. I chose […]

An Artful Life – An Artful Christmas Part I

I have always loved Christmas. When I was young, my mother fashioned warm, twinkling days filled with parties, wreath making, gift wrapping and anise cookie making- creating memories I will forever hold dear. The hubby and I lived in Poughkeepsie, NY for years and even though only a handful of people visited during the season […]
