Jess and Gino’s jewel tone lotus wedding stationery collection was everyone’s favorite this week. Panos chose an abstract peacock feather artwork interpretation while Julie opted for a more realistic rendering of vibrant plumeria.

Inspired Ink – New look, new photos part II

Layers of watercolor paper proved to be the perfect backdrop. Black, yellow and white – yum! Pretty papers fresh from our travels to the National Stationery Show. Shane sent these to me late last night – I am just thrilled. I really love how he captured the hand-painted details on Shea’s unique wedding announcement.

We spent nearly an hour rummaging through the trims and […]
