Celebrating Derby Day

Kentucky-Derby-Day-Invitations-Lauren-Chism-Fine-Papers

Ever so slightly obsessed with these Kentucky Derby invitations by Lauren Chism – are they not perfect? As is the styling for the photos!

We had dinner with Sasha’s best friends on Saturday, and one of the couples is heading to the Derby this weekend. I have always wanted to go! I would be all over those hats. The Derby makes me think of Classy Girls Wear Pearls, which is funny given that her most recent post is about packing for this big event!

DIY Bridal Party Invitation

Anna Bond, owner and creator of Rifle Design and Rifle Paper Co. (by far my favorite paper store in the world!) was featured on Once Wed for her amazingly creative bridal party invitations. I seriously cannot believe these are DIY. I’m not sure I’d be able to whip something up that looked quite as amazing, but I love this idea so much! What a unique way to ask your bridesmaids/maid of honor to be by your side on the big day! What do you think?

My bridal invitations are here!

Meant To Be Calligraphy Workshop

On Saturday, my mom and I went to Michele Hatty Fritz of Meant To Be Calligraphy’s Introduction to Contemporary Calligraphy workshop in the Capitol Hill area of Washington, DC. The course was held in the Karson Butler Events studio, which was decorated to the nines. I love it (see tons of photographic evidence below). The class was absolutely amazing. I learned so much – as did my mom. I want to go back and do it all over again – and recommend that you sign up, if you live nearby (or hey, if you want to travel to DC for a fun trip). Michele takes you step-by-step through the basics, then you get to spend the last 45 minutes practicing. I struggled at work today, as all I wanted to do was go home and pick up my pointed pen and write.

Want to see more of Michele’s work? Look at her wedding work (including ours!) and media features. Talk about learning from the best!

Gold Foil Letterpress Glory

Love, times a million. Look at these gorgeous gold, white and corral letterpress invitations created by Alisa Bobzien featured on Oh So Beautiful Paper! I am seriously in love. The Carolyna font looks so good in gold, and the honeycomb pattern is so unique. The monochromatic map is the perfect finishing touch to this set!

Paper and Honey

I am seriously in love with the Paper and Honey Shop on Etsy. They have multiple wedding suites, categorized by “theme” (i.e. Lovebirds, Campers, Travelers) – and they are all gorgeous sets of paper goods. And this praise is all without mentioning the calligraphy. Love, love, love. Which suite is your favorite? I’m leaning towards Dreamers.il_570xN.519271906_lin6
