Natalie + Brad

What a beautiful couple these two are.  Natalie and Brad were married at the beautiful Bakersfield Museum of Art.  Such a romantic and elegant setting.  Many friends and family completed this gorgeous couples wonderful day.  I wish them all the best in life!  More from the bride in the images below.

From the Bride:

“I first met Maria at a bridal show when I saw her beautiful display of sample invitations. I spoke with her for a few minutes about my colors and style and right away she had great suggestions. I knew of the colors and a little bit of the style that I wanted but never would I have imagined that someone could take those small ideas and turn them into the most beautiful and perfect invitations the way Maria did.”

“There is so much detail that goes into making the perfect invitation and to have someone like Maria, who met with me multiple times to figure exact colors, styles, fonts, design and wording was such a blessing. I remember the evening I picked up the final invitations from Maria and brought them home. I went to bed shortly after, but had to get out of bed twice to go into the kitchen and turn on the light and stare at the invitation again and again, because I loved them so much! I felt like a five-year old with a new Christmas toy.”

“My invitations were one of my favorite things about my wedding and one of my favorite keepsakes from the wedding. My family and friends were texting me as soon as they got them in the mail to tell me how beautifully they matched ME and my style. The funny thing is, even as well as I think I know my own style, I would not have been able to come up with something this gorgeous without Maria’s help. I would highly recommend Maria and All in the Invite for your wedding invitations.”

sneak peek :: Adrianna and John’s Wedding Invitation

I’m excited to be sharing with you a little sneak peek of a wedding invitation set I had the pleasure to design recently. This is for the wedding of Adrianna and John.

Now while I can’t share the finished set with you just yet (but soon!) here is one of the designed pieces.  Their chosen colors are absolutely stunning and work really well together; Sapphire Blue, Orange Flame and Silver.  All metallic colors and a paisley print.  I’m in love with their idea for wedding favors! Too bad I can’t show you just yet!

The picture below is from their engagement session captured by Daniel Boone photography and judging by his other work the wedding pictures are going to turn out fabulous!  We can’t wait to see it!  See even more of their adorable session right here.

10 Things You Should Never Say To Your Stationer

10 Things You Should Never Say To Your StationerToday I wanted to share with you an article that is so well-written and answers many of the questions I get asked frequently. It was written by the owner of Lion In The Sun Paperie in Park Slope, Brooklyn and appeared in The Huffington Post Weddings section on April 20, 2012.

In my opinion it’s an important read for anyone looking to make a stationery/invitation purchase.  Here are the highlights but please follow the link to read the article in full here.

 10 Things You Should Never Say To Your Stationer

1.  ”They are just going to end up in the garbage anyway”

2. ”It’s only paper, why is it so expensive?”

3. ”I could do that myself on my home computer and print it.”

4.  ”Can you just make me one and I can just photocopy or email a scan of it to everyone?”

5. ”I know I approved the proof, but we changed the time of the wedding.”

6. ”But we only need eight more invitations.”

7. ”I left the invitations in the trunk of my car and then went to the car wash” or “We were drinking red wine while assembling the invitations…”

8. “We’ve addressed all our envelopes already, but I mail-merged the guest list incorrectly and all the zip codes are incorrect, what do you mean you don’t check each of our guests’ zip codes for us?”

9. ”I sealed the envelopes and I realized I forgot to stamp the reply cards” or “We just used regular postage and dropped them in the mailbox on the street.”

10.  ”We would like to put ‘monetary gift only’ on the invitation.”
