6 months later… | April 5th, 2010

YIKES! Time has flown. I don’t know how people keep up with their blogs, it’s seriously a fulltime job! Never the less, we’ve been delightfully busy around here and moving forward we will be posting much more regularly. The 2 major happenings since October have been having an invitation suite featured in Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine in December (YAY!!!!) + moving into a MUCH larger studio space in Candler Park which we are loving.

She said yes… | October 7th, 2009

We designed and printed these for my engagement party that my parents threw. It wasn’t just any engagement party either. It turned into a 3 night escape into the mountains, in Idaho, at some of my families cabins. They hosted 85+ guests in cabins and took everyone white water rafting! It was incredible to say the least, and one of the most memorable weekends we’ve ever had. How cute are these invite postcards? They were duplexed (2 different sheets glued together) and went through the press more times than I want to remember.

Grandma Latte | September 22nd, 2009

New custom stationery design for Grandma Latte. She didn’t want to be known as just Grandma to her grand kids, so being a huge lover of latte’s, she started having the kiddos call her Grandma Latte and it stuck. We think that it’s pretty cute and the stationery definitely speaks to this very stylish grandma.

Crafty Friends | August 25th, 2009

My dear friend Martha (used to work with her over at Iconologic) designed her save-the-dates + wedding invites and came over one day and we had some fun on the press. Aren’t the love birds so cute?! I can’t wait for her wedding to see how all her other ideas play out… You can see more over at 100 Layer Cake here and here.

You are invited… | June 1st, 2009

The wedding invitations that I’ve been hounded about by everyone. They’re here! I had originally planned to just use an existing design from our wedding collection that I love but soon realized that that idea wouldn’t fly. So after weeks of designing and printing, I had produced the most elaborate invites to ever come out of our studio! Each invitation went through the press 12 different times (you should see my arm!) and then required some intense production work. Since our wedding was where I grew up (Walla Walla, WA), and was going to be a destination for so many of our guests, we wanted to include a lot of information for everyone. The Walla Walla Valley is home to over 100 wineries, and being big into wine ourselves, we thought it would be a great idea to showcase some of our favorite wineries. We used it as a way to lure some of our out of town guests to this small town in the middle of nowhere. We wanted something completely different, but still refined with a lot of personality. The idea for the invitation was based around this custom designed foldable map of the area and the rest just fell into place…

The actual invitation made up the band that held the map shut.

The invitation suite came inside of glassine envelopes with “Our Sweet Day in May” logo attached to the front. It was then mailed inside of a heavy duty envelope. White hand calligraphy was used to address the invitations.

Backside of the invitation suite. Hand illustrated flowers poke through the band. Once the rsvp card + event cards are removed the stick people, used on the save-the-dates make their second appearance.

Hand drawn wine tasting map included different tasting iternaries and marked all our favorite wineries in the valley. All wedding venues + favorite local restaurants were pointed out.

Save-the-date | May 29th, 2009

These were the save-the-dates for “Our Sweet Day in May”. We asked our guests to doodle pictures of their faces and send them back to us. Getting the mail has never been so fun!
