LETTERING :: Celebration Decor

  

Hello everyone!

 

Today I'm excited to share with you some of the finished pieces I hand lettered for an amazing party along with the gorgeous photos. It was for one of the most beautiful and detail oriented parties I have ever seen, not to mention it was for a super special occasion: a daughter's quinceañera. It also just happened to be for one of my special friends in the blogging world Mayra, from InFlight Party Ideas. She is a rockstar. ;)
 

One of the things I love about working with her, is she knows what she wants and is very good at explaining it to me. She communicated color schemes, the 'feel' she was looking to convey, details that would help me decide on style of the lettering I did and I think you will agree, that it turned out perfectly for this event. Some of the pieces she sent to me to 'ink' on, like the cookie signs, the name tags and the frames were adorable and the rest I did on cardstock that I have on hand, if you were wondering. They all turned out amazing and coordinated so well at the actual event. She requested cookie signs, table assignment signs, names for the tables, party favor tags, a menu and more. I also had the pleasure of being asked to address all of the invites that went out months ago and loved using my calligraphy skills for that! ;) It was my honor to be a small part of this day with my dear friend and I absolutely love working for her as she creates the dreamiest parties to look at!

As you will see, the items look beautiful in use at her celebration. Now the befores . . .

. . . and at the event!
 

 

Ahhhhhhh . . . I just LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing pics of my work in action. I so appreciate the fact that I was allowed to share these with all of you and I thank Mayra and her photographer, JoPhoto for letting me share a few here with all of you! Isn't this event gorgeous, I knew y'all would love having a peek into this beautifully orchestrated celebration!

Hope you enjoyed the latest peek into my custom work and I look forward to sharing more very soon! Make sure to keep an eye out! ;) Remember if you have an event coming up, I can help, no matter how big or small, feel free to email me as I'd loved to bounce some ideas on what we could do! I've been hired to do as little as 5 cards to over 500! Thanks for being here! xo

WEDDING :: Orange & Fuschia Inspiration Board

Hello everyone & welcome to "Wedding Wednesday"!

::  lollipops  ::  cocktail  ::  dress ::  cake  ::  flowers  ::  confetti  ::  table number  ::

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

 
  Summer is in full swing and I am sure you have gone to a wedding or two this summer already. Bright colors are H-O-T for summer and this marriage of these bold colors is no exception and I personally am LOVING them together! Orange and fuschia make for a fun event that brings a little sizzle.

 Candy in some form, available at the reception, makes for some fun with these lollipops done in your color scheme. Who wouldn't want to bring out their kid side? Make sure to choose a signature cocktail and mocktail that is as delicious as it is gorgeous! This cocktail with a fresh orange slice, regardless of what is in it, makes me want to head to the bar for one right now! ;) This dress is a stunner - perfect for the bridesmaids to wear or that perfect little dress to wear as a guest. Try adding a floral element as a cake topper to keep your modern cake design on the feminine side and create a look that is very modern chic. Adorn the tables with lots of flowers and fun shaped confetti in various shades of oranges and pinks to make the tables festive and fun! Also make sure to coordinate some amazing table number design with your theme to ensure your guests feel welcome and they know where to sit. They will appreciate it.
 
Have you ever attended a summer wedding using bright colors like these or a party that used them?  What was your favorite element of the event?  I would LOVE to hear the details . . .spill below ;)

LETTERING :: Wedding Signage

     

Hey there you guys!

 

I am popping in today to share a couple, of the custom orders that I have been working on lately. Both of these just happen to be for weddings (which I am loving) but we all know that hand lettered items work perfectly for any event, so please contact me anytime! ;)

I also have a huge job for a client coming up that involves menus, signage and a few more things that I can't wait to get in there and 'ink' as I have seen some of the decor for this event and she is going ALL IN!! ;) It will be FAB!

These first signs were for a bride that is getting married, on the beach this weekend and she requested dark blue card stock with white lettering and coral accents. She wanted a variety of signage around her event. Some of these were for the reception area and her popcorn bar (doesn't that sound delish?) and others she had me make for their guests. One says "take one, if you're chilly' and the other is encouraging them to take a pair of flip flops, if they would like. Signs like this are a perfect, yet subtle way, to make sure your guests know what is expected or what they 'can' take, so make sure when you plan your next event, to think about if the guests will know what you want them to do. Having a simple sign can help so much!

Along with inking matching table tents cards with all of the different flavors of popcorn for her, I also was asked to create some other larger table tents signs to have around the event.

The white table tents were for a different event and I was asked to ink certain cake flavors on white cards with grey ink and gold accents. This person requested more of a casual writing, so you can see the difference just with these two jobs of the various styles and the look they give.

Please feel free to inquire about some hand lettered items for a party or event you may be having. You will have your choice of paper as well as ink color choice. Just email me with your ideas and we can make it happen and I will be sure you get the 'eye candy' you imagined! ;)

Hope you enjoyed the latest peek into my custom work and I look forward to sharing more very soon! Make sure to keep an eye out! ;)

HAND LETTERED :: Table Tents + Birthday Banner

     

Hello there!

 

As many of you are, I have been 'extra' busy these last couple weeks preparing my home for the holidays and so I feel like I haven't had much time to blog and talk with all of you about what I have been up to. So I wanted to take a moment and share a couple custom orders with you today, that I have also added to my shop so you can order if you ever find the need.

I was asked recently to ink some table tents for a huge birthday party along with a custom birthday banner for this very special person. I love doing custom orders so this was one of those jobs that I sooooo looked forward to doing because when I'm inking I am so calm and happy. It definitely is so relaxing for me. Can you tell I love doing it?

As you can see, these are the actual hand lettered table tent cards I did for this party. I decided to add them to my shop in case you need some for an event, a party, wedding or even a photo shoot. You will have your choice of paper as well as ink color choice. Check the link for more details or email me.

This is the Hand Lettered Birthday Banner. This one she requested to say "Happy 40" but you can have it say whatever you like. 

Hope you are loving these new hand lettered items as I have MORE decor ideas coming soon so make sure to keep an eye out! ;)
