I’m a sucker for any type of pattern and these by Happy Lovers Town just made me smile.

Besides the whole getting married thing, the invitations were my favorite part. As a designer I felt like I had something to prove by designing my own invitations so it turned out to be one of the most rewarding and intimidating aspects of the whole event. Needless to say, my husband and I love how they turned out and they were worth all the effort.
The Invitations, RSVP Card, Accommodations Card, Directions Card, Thank You Notes, and Envelopes were all letterpress printed on Crane’s 100% cotton Lettra Letterpress Paper by the very talented Bryce at Bjorn Press.
The Programs were off-set printed onto the same Lettra Letterpress paper by the lovely folks over at Quality Press using a metallic ink. I printed the Menus on a large format digital printer.
That’s it for our trip down memory lane! It was an amazing experience and I’m so glad I could share it with all of you. Have a lovely weekend everyone and Happy Valentine’s Day! xoxo
I will be the first to admit that I went a little crazy with all the little extras. But it’s what I love to do, and I had so much fun creating all the little details! Above are the guest room gifts we left for each of our guests in their hotel room. They contained a welcome note, hot cocoa packets, and homemade snowflake marshmallows.
I made coat check tags for guests when they arrived with perforated bottoms. The match books where also custom made by wrapping store bought matches and re-covered with my own design. And finally, sparkler holders in vellum sleeves for the send-off. The white cake with lemon curd filling and lemon buttercream frosting- YUMM! – was made by our dear friend Katie.
The Coat Check Tags and Sparkler Holders are now available for sale in my Etsy shop. And if you’d like to learn how to make the Guest Room Gifts, or the Match Books, I actually made tutorials for Style Me Pretty.

Tomorrow I’ll be sharing our wedding stationary suite!
Below are some more pictures from our wedding last year held at the Novelty Hill Winery in Woodinville, Washington. This was by far the most stunning location we visited when looking for a venue. If you ever happen to be in the area I encourage you to stop by. Its understated elegance and modern architecture are breathtaking.

With all the love that’s in the air, it’s fitting that my husband and I celebrated our first anniversary this past weekend. I honestly can’t believe it’s been a year already! We both had so much fun at our wedding and I wish that we could go back and enjoy the day over and over. Thankfully we have our photos and I can look back as often as I like. Please join me on a trip down memory lane…
To start, I thought I’d share my inspiration board that I created right after our engagement. It’s fun to see how this translated into the actual event. I picked yellow and grey as our wedding colors because I wanted something unusual and not overly feminine. My husband definitely appreciated this and was as equally excited about the color choices. Since our wedding was in February the yellow seemed like a good bright color that could add some warmth. The grey acted as a neutral tone throughout while silver added the little extra shine.
