Going Digital

In preparation for our new baby Miles to arrive in January, I'm trying to best set up my business to run smoothly. One part of that is offering do it yourself, printable wedding invitations and response cards in my Etsy shop. This is a fairly new development in the stationery business, and brides seem to really like  having the option to print their paper products on their own.

All digital files for both a wedding invitation and response card cost $55, which includes 3 versions of changes made by a professional graphic designer and typesetter.

I'm hoping this option takes off because I have a hard time picturing printing, trimming and packaging hundreds of invitations while caring for a newborn.

Black and White Inspiration Board

Black and white is a classic wedding color combination that can either go super formal and classy or modern and whimsical. My Veda Invitation was inspired by both ideas. The bold graphics and fun typography would suit a variety of styles and couples.

Outdoor Wedding Reception Details

I love outdoor weddings that aren't under tents. Don't the above receptions feel so open yet cozy? If you're brave enough to not have an above covering, do it! Each of the featured weddings creates a homey feel by adding elements that hang from above. Chinese lanterns, bunting flags and hanging baskets are all great ways to create interest in the great open space.

I bet these outside wedding receptions were a blast and lasted all night!

Self Promotional Package

I was so excited to get these bad boys in the mail on Friday. I have been working on the design and assembly for a while and it feels great to be putting these in the hands of local wedding venders. I hand picked some great vendors that I would love to work with and I'm hoping to set up some meetings with them in the next few weeks.

It's a little scary to actually be putting myself out there, but I'm excited to see where Oneleven Wedding can go.

Dipped in Gold

Oh man, these dipped gold rings and glasses are pretty awesome. The rose ring would be a beautiful wedding day accessory and the glasses would be a perfect detail on any reception table. 

Touches of Gray

Gray is such a great color to use for wedding colors. But it's not that easy to incorporate into bridal bouquets. Touches of dusty miller are the perfect gray accent for both classic and vintage style wedding arrangements.
