my new monogram

I am absolutely in love with my new monogram ...designed by my incredibly talented friend Sandy. Sandy is going to be designing Wedding Invitations in her 'spare' time and I'm super excited to be able to work with her on all of my Wedding Stationary. She was actually the same person that designed my TEP logo ...so I definitely love her work!

my wedding inspiration: invitations

I love paper. I love fonts & letters.  Which makes the Stationary one of the elements of my Wedding that I am completely excited about. I have an incredibly talented friend that is going to be designing it for me, starting with my monogram and I can't wait to see what she comes up with. She was the person that designed my TEP logo, she just seems to have a creative and beautiful way of putting together letters with designs.

In order to give her an idea of the types of things that I like, I created the above Inspiration Board using pictures that I found online along with pictures that I found in magazines.

I can't wait to see how it all comes together!

my wedding inspiration: the details

I  love this idea! I can just imagine these drawers all over the place ...cake stands, envelope holders, holding vases in the middle of tables as centerpieces, stacked with presents for guests, holding glasses on the bar. Too cute.

I guess the next obvious question is: who has some old dressers with extra drawers? Or who wants to go garage saling with me!

my save the dates

When my cousin Shelley sent out her Wedding Invitations virally I was introduced to Paperless Post and I fell in love.  They have a ton of incredible designs and it's extremely affordable. So I was super excited to make my Save the Dates using their website. And I figured that there couldn't be a better day than exactly 1 year before the big day.  

The only thing that you can't see on the below invitation was the adorable polka dotted insert on the envelope, which may have just been my favourite detail:)

...and a little hint. If you have friends & family sign up for new accounts (using your name as a reference) you are given free stamps!

my wedding inspiration: polka dotted socks

I have begged and begged Wayne to wear a black and white polka dotted tie, or even a pink tie to match my dress ...it's not happening.  But I don't think even he could say no to something that does not get seen! 

Love, love, love.
