Paper Pieces {Favorite Invite Designers}

Invitations and Save the Dates are usually of the first items sent to your guests and they can go a long way in setting the tone. Besides the obvious of informing them of the who, when and where, invitations also provide clues as to the formality, and a sneak peak at your theme and vision. Here's a peak at some of my favorite paper people...

MaeMae Paperie creates gorgeous stationary pieces that reflect your personal sytle and the feel of your event. They have something for every budget as well, making them even more lovable! Letterpress, Flat (digital) and Print at Home... take your pick!


Cactus & Quail is a quirky paper design house located in San Diego. They offer three lines of products and services: Readymade, fun illustrations ready for personalization, Custom work (amazing stuff) and Fleamarket, limited edition handmade paper products.


Another San Diego local, Posh Paperie creates amazing custom invitations. This power team of Elizabeth and Karrie really creates individualized invites.


Love vs. Design runs off the motto: Pick it, Personalize it, Print it! This site is so great because it offers fun quirky and elegant designs for a fraction of the price. If you're on a budget you've got to check out this site!


Spark is the midwest letterpress capital. It's a husband and wife team who run the show, creating beautiful invites for the country! Sweetpaper in La Jolla, Seaside Papery in Coronado and Urbanic in Venice Beach are all local retailers who can set you up with a little Spark!

Hooked at Hitched

Last weekend I made the long trek out to Palm Springs for Hitched, and indy bridal show with great style. I took in tow my great friend Kristina, and we just strolled around, oohing and ahhing while sipping our Sophia canned mini sparkling wine.

I took some pictures, but haven't quite mastered low light shooting, so I thought I would leave imagery up to the pros. Here are some photos of the event taken by professionals.

Loving Right Now: Vintage Stamps

Vintage stamps add something special + unique to envelopes. Whether it's postage for wedding invites, a bridal shower, or an afternoon tea party... there are so many images and styles to choose from - you're bound to fall in love. Unused vintage stamps can be found at your local stamp store or, the always easier option, online. My favorite seller is Verde Studio on Etsy.com. They have a great selection of stamps... and the best part is they are already grouped together by style, theme and color to equal just the right postage rate. I also heart this seller because they tell the history about the stamps they use and offer custom orders! Add some goodness to your envelopes :-)
