Beautiful fall wedding...

I was so excited to see another wedding published on Style Me Pretty! I loved this beautiful, fall-themed wedding up at Thomas Fogarty Winery in Woodside California. It was so fun to look back through the beautiful photos to remember this special day with Ron and Stacie. Please check out the full article in Style Me Pretty!

Here are some photos of my paper designs, by the fabulous Catherine Hall!

Deb and Christian

Deb and Christian were such a fun couple! They really wanted a fun an unique wedding, as testified by their bold and fun color choices and unique paper ideas! It is so fun to work with a couple that challenges my creativity and allows me to try some new things! They fell in love with velvet paper and really, really wanted to use it in their invitation. It had such a beautiful texture, but presented some challenges in the printing. What I ended up doing was printing the flower on an inkjet printer to capture the color shading, and using letterpress for the wording to make it nice and crisp! The end result was beautiful...wrapped up in a paper fold with a die-cut to showcase the poppy underneath. And of course, all held together with a gorgeous wax seal! So much fun!

Can you see the gorgeous velvet texture?

The place cards were made out of flower seed paper
with a printed vellum overlay...held together by copper grommets.

And the best part of all...the menus! They gave me an opportunity to
use paper quilling for the first time in a wedding paper design. I can't even count the numerous hours I spent twirling paper, but I LOVED the end result. It was so much fun, and made each one unique!

What a great team!

Fogarty Winery Showcase

I had the privelege of participating in the Thomas Fogarty Winery preferred vendor showcase last week! Thanks to Janae Shield's Photography I have some beautiful pictures to share! The gorgeous florals are by Amy Burke Designs, and rentals by Hartmann Studios. Other great vendors included Janece Shelloe of Every Elegant Detail, and Beth Anne Goldberg of Studio Cake. I had so much fun working with the other vendors, and creating paper designs that showed several different styles and price ranges. One our our goals was to create 3 different table designs that would give ideas for every budget.

Table 3 was our standard table- from florals, to rentals, to paper designs... this table was priced affordably for almost any bride!

Table 2 was contemporary and modern with clean lines. The pricing was a bit higher with some really unique touches! This table was fun for all of us!

Table 1 was the crème de la crème of table designs! This table was the highest priced table, but with the gorgeous linens and stunning floral, it was a site to behold...

Another Pryde wedding

I just had the privilege of doing paper designs for the sister of a bride I worked with over a year ago! Her name is Anna, and she was a joy to work with! She was torn between a simple stripe design and a floral design, so I incorporated the two. Again we used diffrent placecard colors to designate the guest's entree choices. Her wedding took place outdoors and her planner, Janece Shellooe of Every Elegant Detail did a wonderful job of displaying the escort cards so that the wind wouldn't blow them away!

Audrey and James

Audrey and James had a beautiful ceremony this past Sunday at Thomas Fogarty Winery in Woodside, CA. It was a pleasure working with them to provide a design that was fitting for their sophisticated tastes! Janece Shellooe of Every Elegant Detail did a beautiful job organizing the event!




We ended up using 4 different escort card designs to designate the guest's different entree choices.

We went with this folded program which was very simple and elegant in design. I loved that they wanted to include a tribute to Buck, their dog/ring-bearer, on the back of the program!

Nancy Liu Chin did a beautiful job with the floral designs! Here is one of her centerpieces with my table number card. Audrey and James wanted a note under their table numbers that explained that they were donating to a local charity in lieu of providing favors. I thought that was a really neat idea!


The menu was very classic and fun to put together. The catering by Thomas John Events made for a detailed menu with lovely entree descriptions. There were also several food stations (see the amazing seafood display on ice in the top photo) for the guests to enjoy!

Gina and Bryan

I was honored to do the paper designs for Gina and Bryan's wedding and reception! She was the sweetest bride to work with, and it all came together beautifully! They got married at Thomas Fogarty Winery in Woodside, CA. Here are some pictures from their beautiful wedding...

Gina chose to do a program with a 2-sided layout. She wanted her program to have soft, elegant colors, while the menu and placecards brought out the bolder pinks.

Jean Marks, Gina's talented wedding coordinator, did a wonderful job of displaying the escort cards so that they wouldn't blow away! The setup was beautiful.
