I Love Paper.

It all started in 2000. That's when I joined the yearbook staff.

Since the most fantastic episode of The Causeway to ever come out was published in 2002 (editors myself and my bff Corey) I have pretty much had an obsession with document design.

So when it comes to Save the Dates, Invitations, Menus, Programs, pretty much everything that gets printed, I have been all over the place with ideas.

The bottom line is that there will need to be a lot of information, as most people are traveling...

Now there is the Pocket Fold Invitation which is classic and I have always loved:

Then I stumbled across accordion invitations, which are just so yummy:

There are the booklet invitations of course, and I found the most FUN idea for an insert booklet:

I think something not so rounded would be my style, but wouldn't Navy Blue with a little copper grommet be fab?

New Look

Sometimes I get bored...maybe this is the reason I can;t seem to make a decision when it comes to anything wedding related?

Commitment to Austin is not the issue, but commitment to colors, locations, flowers, etc. definitely a fear there!

Listen to the music...

Of all of the lovely cards that we have received to congratulate us on getting married, this one made me laugh the most:

 

Hilarious! This little beauty was accompanied by two lovely mixed CDs made by my friend Kat. They are entitled "Wedding Fun" Part 1 and Part 2 and have been playing in my car since I got them.

Love feeling the love!

Carnations? Really?

As I was leafing through the new InStyle Weddings magazine that I recently picked up, they had a whole article on carnations as wedding flowers. When bunched together they supposedly look like peonies...I am not really sure if I think they look like peonies, but they have a great look all their own.

Now, one of my bestest friends Lindsey, used the floral styling of one of my other bestest friends Shelby's mom, for her wedding. Together they artfully designed beautiful centerpieces using carnations last April.

 

This was the mock up of the centerpieces...She had long tables and like twenty of these things down them, which made for such an elegant impact. The photos in InStyle were fabulous as well.

Now, I have always loved big arrangements...like this:

ESPECIALLY if they have hydrangeas in them, as that is my very favorite flower. Maybe not for every table, but some, for impact. But apparently hydrangeas are expensive? Could this be true? According to the lovely section about flowers in my Martha Planner, they are. I had no idea. I mean, they grow in people's yards abundantly...in Rhode Island they grew abundantly outside of a Pizza Hut. In any case, I digress.

As I was looking through some photos I had assembled for ideas int eh future, I stumbled upon this and realized, THOSE ARE CARNATIONS!

 

I have forgotten where I got this from, so if anyone knows, let me know who to give credit to...but aren't those cool arrangements? Don't get me wrong. I still want hydrangeas there, but this opens a whole new world...

What do the judges think? Do carnations cut the mustard?

More Drool.

So, my fabulous boss from UW-Madison this summer (who had her own fantastically beautiful wedding in Colorado last summer) just sent me the link to this website.

Front Room Photography

They operate out of Milwaukee, and their site mentions nothing about pricing or travel...but they are definitely worth a call.

Drool.

Thanks Sarah!!!
