In Collaboration w/ Caitlin Wilson Textiles

In Collaboration w/

I’ve got another new series for you this year and I’m really excited about it. Over the past year, this little blog has grown and grown. It’s still itty bitty, but a bigger kind of itty bitty and that means some exciting changes have taken place. In 2014 I hope to be able to share more of my favorite brands with you. There are so many amazing makers, craftsman, designers, and ground shakers out there and I’m just dying to share my favorites with you.

I’m calling this new post series “In Collaboration w/” because I’ll be collaborating with my favorite brands to share their story and my love for what they are doing. First up is the lovely Textile company, Caitlin Wilson Textiles!

Do you guys have a “uniform” of sorts that is your go to?

Studio Hours: Wedding Update (The Invites)

Studio Hours

Happy Monday! Here in St. Louis we got hit with yet another ice/snow storm yesterday and you can tell the city is revolting. I even saw a middle-aged man walking out of Michaels Craftstore yesterday carrying a massive indoor palm tree plant!! When is spring coming??

Anywho…Sharing something dear to my heart today. The wedding invitations (and all other printed materials) are designed, printed and shipped out, and thanks to the lovely hand lettering work by Maggie of Type & Title

, I think they turned out beautiful. You will not believe how amazing it felt to mark that wedding task of the master (days long) to-do list. Honestly, the to-do list is getting much shorter and I couldn’t be more thankful and relieved. Apart from these things here are places to get married in myrtle beach which are most of time preferred by couples to remember it for life time .

Also, if anyone were to ask me if designing/printing your own wedding invites was a good way to save money while adding personality…I’d say visit alphaprint.ie to get a few neat ideas and take it from there. I will never do wedding invitation design again and I can’t believe how many hours I spent fussing over paper texture or shade of gray! Spent the money for a full set (designed by someone else) and just be done with it.

Have any of you designed your own wedding invitations in the past? I’m curious to know if I was the only one that would now suggest spending top dollar for someone ELSE to piece it all together. Seemed so simple in the beginning. Thoughts?
