Most of my jobs are about creating a fun design that is inspired by a location, or the couple’s life together, etc. but sometimes you get to create art that helps support an already amazing story. When Cathrin first came to me to talk about her save the date, she wasn’t quite sure what she [...]

It take TWO: My save the date
Alas! I am finally sharing pictures of our save the date. I’ve promised this roughly 8 times so far, so I’m happy to finally deliver on this. Ok, so first things first- designing for yourself is pretty weird, hard, stressful but also so much fun. It’s kind of a crazy to be your own client. [...]

Martha’s Vineyard Map
Creating custom maps is never dull! I love finding out people’s favorite spots and getting to know about the new cities and fun places. I’ve had a number of Martha’s Vineyard brides, but compared to my familiarity with its good ole neighbor Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard is a bit like uncharted territory for me! I love [...]

Poster Save the Date :: Palm Springs
This year I have two couples getting married at the ACE hotel in Palm Springs. It’s been really fun to develop both of their jobs and see the different direction each couple took for the same location. Megan and Josh, simply put, are the best. During our first meeting, we ended up talking for almost [...]

Martha’s Vineyard Save the Date

Palm Springs Save the Date
Even with the blue skies we’ve been having lately in New York, I can’t help but be a little jealous of the Palm Springs weekend KJ and Elizabeth planned! {Relaxing by the pool with a margarita? Doesn’t sound half bad.} Their travel themed save the date is full of bright colors and bold designs that [...]

Cape May Save the Date
I love doing invitations, save the dates and maps that reflect different locations. It a lovely way to tune out and visit a new place for a little while. The save the date below was done for a client getting married in Cape May, New Jersey. Being that the bride and groom are inviting a [...]

Rustic Save the Dates
Simple doesn’t always have to be boring. Lauren and Ryan came to me looking for a save the date that would highlight the rustic feel of their venue: an old western Mass family estate. We wanted to keep things pared down, but still create an atmosphere of warmth for their Fall wedding save the dates. [...]

Pop Art Save the Date
When Lauren and I first started brainstorming ideas for her save the date she mentioned that she was interested in doing a play on 60’s pop art. I thought the idea was genius and when Lauren suggested the out-of-the box idea of doing the design as a comic book, I was sold. It was the [...]

Sorry, my dance card is full…
Among my friends, it’s no secret that I am an old soul at heart. I love all things retro, vintage and straight up dated. I’ve always loved the idea of old fashioned dance cards and secretly hoped I could eventually find a way to incorporate one into a custom suite. For those of you who [...]
