As Seen In... Today's Bride

A bit overdued but we'd still like to express... that we had a blast, back in April, when we were invited to collaborate with a design team for the Lavish and Lovely photoshoot for Today's Bride magazine. We didn't get to see the photos until the issue's release in July. But it was worth the wait!

We designed stationery for two tablescapes - Rustic Charm and Island Chic. Each table had its own endearing qualities.

Many thanks to Christine and her staff for organizing a great day! It was a pleasure working with you on this shoot.

Real Wedding: Tiffany + Eric

We regret neglecting this blog over the summer as things got busy around here. With the summer gone and many of our couples getting married, we have a backlog of some beautiful real weddings.

Here is one I never got to share from last year of Tiffany and Eric's fun, young and fresh courtyard estate wedding. They really went all out for their guests with a cigar bar, putting green, bocce ball, and a trampoline (!) to keep guests entertained and active.

ceremony: Saint Peter and Paul Church, San Francisco, CA
reception: Private Estate in Atherton

Una Bella Sera: A World of Glamour | Asia Vignette

We had a fun time mingling with some of the hottest vendors in the industry a week ago at Una Bella Sera. Crystal and Nicole did it again with an awesome display of lavish extravagance and exquisite details. It was definitely a feast for the eyes!

This year, each vignette was inspired by one of our seven continents. We had the honour to design stationeries for three very different continents - Asia, South America and Antarctica.

Below is our feature on Asia... Asia is a suggestive outdoor wedding ceremony inspired by Asian botanicals representing the four seasons: plum flower (spring), orchid (summer), chrysanthemum (autumn) and bamboo (winter)
