We love how the watercolor florals and venue illustration coordinate so beautifully!  The combination of ivory blooms painted onto champagne stock with eggplant shimmer stocks is stunning!

This artwork is taking on such a lovely impressionistic look now!

We are so excited about the thick and sophisticated outer border.  The pearl detailing throughout add the perfect touch!

The introduction of pattern is just perfect!

The studio is buzzing over this save the date design.  The simplicity and modern layout is so striking!

We are soooo SO thrilled to be creating these pieces for you!

SO pretty!

The boldness of the black ribbon wrap in the left photo is so striking!

The way your save the dates and this invitation coordinate is quite beautiful.  Honestly, I wasn’t sure about the feather and peonies but now seeing it complete – I am a big fan!  The textures are intriguing and the touch of black throughout maintains formality.

Honestly, this would be a difficult decision for me.  However I am especially fond of the graceful painted strokes of white in the peony design version!

Simply stunning.

How excited are we to be creating your accessories?!

This version is full of drama and richness.  The white hand painted orchids on this wedding invitation really pop!

The combination of magenta orchids and white peonies is unexpected but exciting I think!  The soft shimmering purple papers balance the bright bold purples used throughout!

A Peek into the Studio – Spring is here!

It has been a while since I have given you a peek into the studio.  We are swamped and LOVING every minute of it.  Client projects are shipping daily and I think we owe our UPS guy a massage gift certificate.   The seasons pass before our eyes each year with our invitation designs as a barometer of sorts.  This week I chose four unique projects that we just adored creating.

Miguelina’s posh and bold buckle wedding invitation in shades of fuchsia and orange really grabs your eye!  Anne’s soft and subtle Contrast Painted white peony is stunning against her carefully chosen black details.  Daryl’s super cute Vintage Lacy Tree invitation design featured her beloved pup but in a subtle, stylish way.  Her palette of fresh kelly green, soft pink paisley and white definitely made the Momental Girls feel like spring had finally arrived!  And Melody’s innovative concept where the invitation and all information was designed into a small, paper conscious tri-fold wedding invitation.  Thanks Meldoy for the fantastic idea!

Another look at Anne’s stunning black, ivory and champagne palette we used for her custom wedding invitation design!
Curious to see how her designed evolved?

So what am I up to?

Loving this guestbook idea featured on The Bride’s Cafe and totally stealing the concept for our renewal in PA!

Packing for another trip to Utah to finalize plans for the Renewal in Zion.  Final tastings, flowers, finding an officiant and guitarist.  Phew!

Collecting my thoughts and staying inspired after Lara Casey’s Making Things Happen intensive in NYC last week.  How are you staying inspired?

A Peek into the Studio – Bamboo, Trees and Sails

Some of my favorites from earlier this week.  From left to right: Meghan’s sophisticated color palette contrasted with the whimsical illustration of her pup, Natalie’s contrast painted white peonies and Tara’s Bamboo sketch save the dates.

Jennifer and Tonya’s Sea Inspired Watercolor was  such a favorite that it may be inspiring a new Momental Collection (more coming soon).

Some interesting finds from the week:
