Wedding Stationery: No Kids Allowed!

No kids at wedding

As magical, romantic, and memorable as your wedding is going to be, at one point or another during the planning process, you're going to look at your fiance and seriously consider if all this hassle is worth it.  (Spoiler alert: it is!) 

Finding the balance between planning the special day of your dreams and managing the expectations of your friends and family can be tough, particularly when planning the guest list.  Between long lost relatives clamoring for an invite, your parents' friends who haven't seen you since you were in diapers, and plus-ones turning into plus-families, whether or not to invite kids to your wedding can be a touchy subject.  If you decide that your wedding will be an adults only affair, relaying this information to your guests can be stressful.  It might be tempting to write NO KIDS ALLOWED across all your stationery, but we have a few more subtle, but still effective, suggestions!

Watercolour wedding invitation suite

Can we talk about how delightful Wedluxe is? I always get excited when I see a new issue on the stands, and it's extra special when I know some of the creatives behind the gorgeous photos.  I was recently lucky enough to be asked to participate in an avant garde, Andy Warhol inspired style shoot, shot by Ken Tan and styled by Epic Events.  Rather than going the pop-art route, my design was inspired by Warhol's watercolours.  It was so fun working on such a bright, vibrant design - check it out below!

As Seen On The Ruffled Blog

It is with great pleasure that we share with you this lovely Kate Spade Garden inspired feature on The Ruffled Blog. We were invited to participate as the wedding stationer in a styled shoot put together by Caroline Ross Photography, Umbrella Events, and Green with Envy.

Collaborating on style shoots is always super fun, particularly because the briefs often call for design that's outside our usual wheelhouse. Kate Spade? Yes please! Ombre? Okay! All pink, all the time? We thought you'd never ask!
