Transport yourself to the charming streets of Paris, France. In the distance stands the iconic Eiffel Tower, while the enticing aroma of freshly baked baguettes and delicate macarons wafts through the air. This romantic ambiance served as the backdrop for an extraordinary wedding celebration.

To capture the essence of this inspired setting, I had the pleasure of designing the couple's custom wedding invitations. Adorned with elegant gold foil accents, the invitations featured a breathtaking painting commissioned during their time in France. To add a touch of sophistication, we created a custom monogram wax seal that elegantly sealed the envelopes, tying everything together in a seamless ensemble.

For the reception, I continued the theme. I crafted beautiful signs, escort cards, and meticulously foiled table numbers, each element contributing to the overall ambiance of the event. Every detail was carefully considered to ensure a cohesive and unforgettable experience for the couple and their guests.

Just like strolling the streets of Paris, this wedding exuded an air of romance, elegance, and refined taste. It was an absolute pleasure to be part of creating an enchanting atmosphere that transported everyone to the magical world of Parisian charm.

Sweet Baptism

The luncheon menus for this event were as charming as can be. They featured a custom cut wrap enclosure in a delightful slate blue hue. To add an extra touch of elegance, I incorporated a die-cut layered cross in a stunning silver metallic and white combination, perfectly holding the menus together.

In addition to the menus, I also crafted a beautifully coordinated quote card and table sign that complemented the theme of the event. Its design and colors seamlessly tied in with the overall aesthetic, creating a cohesive and stylish look.

Paw Patrol Third Birthday

Inspired by the beloved children's cartoon, Paw Patrol, I had a blast designing a fun and interactive invitation for this special event. The dual-sided pop-up style invitation brought Skye to life, with her adorable figure popping out to greet the recipients. To add an extra touch of sparkle, I layered the invitation with a glittered cardstock for a dazzling effect. Inside, I hand-painted glitter embellishments to enhance Sofia's name, adding a personal and magical touch.

To complete the invitation suite, I created a custom address label wrap that perfectly matched the overall theme. It tied everything together beautifully, making the invitations truly stand out.

For the party itself, I designed a charming menu and signage that captured the spirit of Paw Patrol. These elements not only added to the festive atmosphere but also helped guide guests and enhance their experience.
