Thanks a Latte

Sasha’s sister, aunt and cousin threw me the best shower this Saturday. I had such a great time, and got so many Crate and Barrel packages I don’t know what to do with myself! I spent yesterday writing all 41 ‘thank you’ cards with my new Shutterfly stationery (best discounts ever). I wanted to do a themed hostess gift, and given my love of all things coffee, I decided to go with ‘Thanks a Latte.’ I had way too much fun putting these together! I cannot wait to come up with the next hostess gift. Images and links are below.

1) Thanks a Latte cards by A Paper Affaire, 2) Wooden gift boxes from Paper Source, 3) Designer Coaster Gold from Calypso St. Barth, 4) Monogrammed Mug from Anthropologie, 5) Celestial Coaster from Anthropologie, 6) Napa Valley Coffee Roasting Company

Save-the-Dates April 12, 2013

DIY Stamp Save the Dates

I love coming across an invitation or Save the Date set that I’m obsessed with – most of them are found on Oh So Beautiful Paper. In fact, that’s where I found my stationery designer, Atheneum Creative. We met to review some options last Friday, and seriously y’all, I had the hardest time picking because I loved them all. I cannot wait to share pictures!

The other day, I totally fell in love with a craft + hot pink set of Save the Date invitations (here). Are they not gorgeous? And very DIY. That stamp from Antiquaria is amazing.

Cupcake Decor

One of the first things that Sasha and I decided on was the fact we wouldn’t have a wedding cake, but would instead have vegan cupcakes. I haven’t eaten eggs in over 10 years, and so I avoid most desserts. We found the best vegan bakery in Oakland, Fat Bottom Bakery, that will be making all of the cupcakes for our wedding (see related post here). I’m meeting with Atheneum Creative today to review the invitation designs – I’m so stinking excited. I’m also going to ask them to help make signs for a variety of things at the wedding – the cupcake stand being one of them. I’ve compiled my five favorite options – how cute are those little individual signs? Have you seen any other creative displays before?

Wedding Shower Style

Sasha’s aunt, sister and cousin are throwing me a bridal shower at the end of the month, and I’m beginning my dress hunt. With all of our other expenses right now with the house, I’m trying to be good and not shop too much (quite the challenge). I decided to give myself a $200 limit on the shower dress, and I found a lot of great items. My favorite five (all within the price range) are above. And this one! A late find. Which is your favorite?

1) Zara Backless White Dress, 2) J. Crew Lace Stripe Dress, 3) BHLDN Nine Muses Dress, 4) Dolce Vita Eira Dress, 5) Anthropologie Greenwich Pencil Dress

Invitations April 3, 2013

Wedding Stationery Crush

We’re having our invitation design review on Friday + I’m like a kid in a candy shop – so excited. I went to Oh So Beautiful Paper the other day + spotted the most gorgeous wedding + rehearsal dinner stationery by Jay Adores Design Co. Are they not incredible? I super love the packaging. Then, I snooped + found their Save-the-Dates. Also amazing. Huge paper crush right now.
