Where the Magic Begins

Custom Folio Invitation

We recently had the pleasure of working with event planner extraordinaire Margaret Short, of Margaret Events in Naples, Florida.  She is not only fabulously friendly, she is a quintessential professional and the best of the best when it comes to event planning.  She came to us with an idea for an embroidered silk folio invitation for the Vintner Dinner at the Naples Winter Wine Festival. We ultimately turned out this luxurious aubergine microsuede folio invitation.

After learning about the Naples Winter Wine Festival, and the theme of "Believe in the Magic", I thought silk simply won't do... we need something stronger, something with a little more presence and power. My vision was instantly microsuede, and I am so glad she saw my vision because these custom folios turned out exquisitely.

The invitation packed just enough punch with gold foil text and simple gold satin corner pockets, while the enclosure included a trademark graphic from the event.

And in what has become our signature mailing presentation, we wrapped these white gloss mailer boxes in gold satin ribbon and finished them with a perfectly layered address seal.  Love!

A while back, a client came to me because she was having a ten year anniversary vow renewal ceremony, and wanted fabulous invitations to match the fabulous event.  After some brainstorming, we came up with these fantastic gold taffeta fairytale storybooks.

I asked her for photos from their wedding and courtship, as well as honeymoon.  It brought a big smile to my face knowing this gal trusted me so much as to share these special  moments.  But then I had to figure out a way to organize them into a story.  Below are some of the first pages of her fairytale.

Each book was post bound, and was embellished with a 9" wide organza ribbon and a sparkling rhinestone cluster.  Each mailer was wrapped in metallic gold paper, wrapped with a white satin ribbon, and finished with a custom 3-layer cardstock address seal.

We pulled out ALL the stops on this baby!  This fabulously over-the-top silk invitation was inspired by the decor design of the event, held at the St. Regis - Atlanta (photos of the fabulous space to follow :) We were contacted by their uber-luxe event designer/catering manager with a challenge... create the most fabulous invitations ever for a gal who is not easily impressed.  Sure.  We can do it.  And we did!

Evolving from a silk box, we wound up with a gorgeous French Lilac dupioni silk invitation with a one-of-a-kind wedge design, created to accommodate the 10" acrylic cube it would be contained in.  The inspiration: a butterfly atrium.

Embellished with crystal branches and glittery feather butterflies, this silk invitation is the first truly 3-dimensional design of it's kind.  The butterflies literally float above the invitation.  We LOVE!

I am a fan of all things sparkly (big news there, huh :) and am a girly girl thru and thru.  So I LOVED creating these gorgeous Azalea embellished pocketfold invitations for a fabulous bride from the NJ.  It takes a bold gal to pull off such show stopping colors, and I think we totally hit the mark with these!

Custom Letterpress Pocketfold Invitation

One more for the gallery... although I haven't updated our online gallery in ages.  This is a definite must add.  We created this gorgeous custom pocketfold invitation with custom letterpress bellyband for a fabulous bride in the NY area.  Working with her neutral color palate of Ivory, Gold, and Champagne, we created a masterpiece with just enough metallic sparkle and a major emphasis on graphic "wow".

We created two versions during the proofing process. One in an antiquey gilver (a kind of goldish-silver) and a brassier gold, each with a different letterpress design on the jacket.  She ultimately chose the gilver option with the vine design down the front.

The bellyband was crafted from a pearlescent ivory metallic stock with a digital cutting machine with a cut-out that mirrored the bracket shape used throughout the invitation. The letterpress vine design was applied once cutting was complete.  I love how the monogram (printed directly on the jacket cover) peeks out perfectly through the negative space in the bellyband.

The interior of the jacket was decked out with a custom pocket, digitally cut with the bracket shape, and letterpressed with a flourishy vine design.  The simple detail of the gilver letterpress vine border at the top of the invitation card and enclosures created just the perfect amount of pizazz, while keeping the overall design elegant and effortless (looking ;)

I love how the pressed metallic ink has an aged look... rather than a really crisp solid color imprint.  This was a goal, and was not easy to acheive.

A view without the bellyband shows just the jacket detail... both flat printed and letterpressed.  This invitation is perfect for weddings or christenings.  Love it!

Embossed Pocketfold Invitation

I think I have pink on the brain.  Our company is remodeling... new staff, a new look, a new line of invitations (all to be launched in November... yay!!).  And pink plays a big part in our revamp, so what better way to kick it off than by showing these delightful Hot Pink and White embossed pocketfold invitations we did for a lovely Aussie lass, married in Queensland this summer?  No better way, I tell you! :) 

Embossed Pink and White Pocketfold Invitation

The design was inspired by a white on white embossed pocketfold invitation we had done as a tester for retail marketing, and our client loved the look... but needed a little extra punch to make it really hers.  Not hard to do with her fabulous color scheme.

The exterior of an otherwise ho-hum white pocketfold was hand-embossed with a swirly print using a custom-mixed pearlescent Azalea raised ink.

The pocket was sealed with a three layer monogram seal composed of pearlescent white stock, Azalea pearlescent stock and a matte white text layer.  Not to leave any detail unaccounted for, velcro was used to ensure no tearing when the pocket was opened.  Love that ;) 

During the proofing phase, we created a couple options for layering.

Given the option of Silver, Azalea, or Pearlescent White for layering, she ultimately choose to keep the whole thing streamlined, using just the Azalea as the punch color.
