When you have a destination wedding, one of the most important parts of the invitation is the map. Instead of using a plain map, it’s more fun to do something creative. Look at the beautiful examples below – my favorite being the first picture, which is a handkerchief with all of the invitation details! Love it. PS My older sister, Karine, got engaged this weekend! Two Semple weddings in 2013!

Okay, cheesy title – I get that. While I am Sasha’s biggest fan, the purpose of this post is not to gush about my future hubbie, but instead share some beautiful inspiration for fans. My wedding date has been nailed down: July 6. Which leaves me less than 8 months to nit-pick over every last detail, including the wedding agenda. Since it will be outdoors (don’t worry – think cool Napa breeze), I want to give my guests the schedule on a fan. Some of my favorite finds are below – which is your favorite?
What a week! My parents are in South Africa right now, so the initial planning has been limited – although I have emailed a million venues, been in contact with my photographer, planner, etc. First things first though – the wedding party! I finally got around to emailing Emily of SparrowNestScript on Etsy. I’ve asked her to make the invitations for the wedding party. Her cards are amazing, and I want something clean and simple (and kraft paper, obvi). Examples below:
I’ve decided to do a series of posts on local, Texas paperie shops. You already know I’m in love with Atheneum Creative in Houston, and I thought I’d branch out after going to ph design shop last week (coming soon to S&MT). Today’s feature shop is The Creative Parasol, which is based in our great state’s’ capital, Austin. Not only are their paper goods to die for, they are super creative (hence the name) in their other design elements – like those wooden seat assignments and the invitation box. They have an Etsy shop coming soon – I cannot wait.
My desire to visit Marrakesh is constantly fueled by beautiful pictures I’ve seen on some of my favorite blogs, including Decor8. Almost all of the pictures I’ve seen of this Moroccan city are stunning – filled with bold colors and prints. It was in the running for our December trip, but we ended up picking Turkey and Greece instead. It’s high on the list for the next go-around. A Moroccan-inspired shoot was posted on 100 Layer Cake recently, and I am in love with the paper goods and all of the intricate details. It probably helps that I love the pairing of hot pink and turquoise – have you noticed?
