Expanding High End Options

I am always looking for the latest trend to add to my options for my clients. Now introducing thermography services. Ever receive an invite with raised letters/graphics? It’s called thermography! I have recently attained the ability to create one and two color prints with this unique style.

If you want to add dimension to your invites without embellishments like ribbons and jewels, why not look into the raised graphics for your invites. It’s really quite affordable! Contact me to arrange a consultation and see a sample!

Tuscan Inspiration

Lisa and Trent Benanti wanted a tuscan theme that reminded them of beautiful Napa Valley. Lisa knew she wanted to incorporate sunflowers as well. We found a great photo of rolling vineyards with sunflowers that reflected the ultimate theme they were going for.

Their stationary included a custom printed pocket invitation with inserts and secured with twine and a simple flat invitation for their rehearsal dinner. They also wanted to tie in the theme to their programs, but the church required that they print the programs. So, we decided to go with a program cover that the church’s program would fit right into.

One thing I learned from working on this wedding is that the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum require approval of any invitation for events there. This was a really fun wedding to get creative with!
