Love This! New Butterfly Silk Slide!

Unique Silk and Satin Brooch Slide Invitation
All Rights Reserved

So my new favorite presentation piece is the slide.  Ever since we created the lace and silk slide for a fabulous gal of a bride late last year, I have been trying to push this new style.  LOVE it!  Not only is it a more affordable alternative to a box or a folio, there are so many ways to make it really one-of-a-kind.  Take this adorable rhinestone butterfly brooch for example.  A big splash of satiny pink ribbon on a muted Iridium dupioni background sets the stage for this little lovely.

I just can't get enough of the simple playfulness of the brooch mixed with the uber chicness of the silk and satin.  LOVE!

Just a little inspiration to jump start the weekend ;)

My, my, my how the year is flying by!!  I can't believe we are headed toward the Ides of March already!  Let's hope it passes easily because we have some big projects on the board at the Studio and can not be slowed down one second!  Well, maybe one second... to show this adorable custom gatefold silk box invitation that has recently left the Studio floor ;)

We created this asymmetrical gatefold box using faux dupioni (that's right... not even the real stuff, and it is still uber fabulous)! we took a sumptuous satin ribbon and finished with with a sparkling rhinestone closure.  The box itself is only 5" x 7", however the style and design give it a presence that is much larger.

The invitation was crafted from heavy weight metallic stock and slightly textured white card stock.  A fabulous custom monogram sat "below" the text, while satin corner pockets gilded with swarovski crystals finished the edges.

I love the springy colors and upbeat softness of this ensemble!  Makes me think that perhaps Spring really will pop in soon!
