Sugar, from the Fresh collection, is as sweet as its name. With the mix of stripes and polka dots, its playful and modern, but still sophisticated and oh-so unique. I designed every invitation to work in both flat print and letterpress, and while the samples for it are flat printed, the design in letterpress would be a real show stopper.
I love black and white. And as it turns out, I love black and white and pink just as much. Throw in a few polka dots and you've got quite a pretty combination.

Cedar, from the Resort collection, is a modern take on a vintage wine label. I don't like to take any theme to literally, so I love the subtle touch of vintage wine graphics to balance the modern patterns on the extra pieces.
If I couldn't get married by the beach, a vineyard would be my second choice. I love wine and creating a vineyard-theme wedding board was hardly difficult. I wish I were sipping a glass of pinot right now...
Grotto, from the Regal collection, is a great example of an invitation being simple and eye catching at the same time. These days, the calligraphy fonts that are available are insanely gorgeous, and I wanted an invitation that really featured one. The couples' names really stand out, but balance perfectly with the rest of the clean text.
For this board, I got inspiration from cherries and apples and fall-ish colors. I love the feel of rich colors with clean white. Lovely.
Last week, Love and Lavender featured a photo shoot that I did with some local Dallas wedding vendors. Inspired by the 4th of July, I created some wedding announcements, signage and tags for little pie pops, made by the secretly talented baker/photographer, Catie Ronquillo. It was festive and fun, I love the vintage elements and gorgeous red flowers!
Thanks to Jen Rios Design, Catie Ronquillo Photography, Red Sole Events, Period Charm Rentals, Beauty and the Blush, and Sugar Bee Sweets!
I love participating in these because I love working with local vendors - meeting them or getting to know them better. Plus, it's just plain fun to be creative together.
Ruffled teamed up with Minted and chose a wedding invitation to inspire a photo shoot and promote a contest... and they chose my 'Twine' invitation! It was such a nice surprise and quite an honor.
If you've checked out Minted's wedding collection, then you would understand my surprise! So many gorgeous designs. It was a great end to a great week.
Check out the gorgeous shoot on Ruffled's blog. It was styled by The Stylish Soiree and photographed by Tinywater Photography. Thank you Ruffled!!!
