Project of the Week: Bridget & Rick

We're loving this "peek-a-boo" save-the-date we just designed for a couple getting married in Paris, but having a wedding celebration once they're back in the states.   One of the challenges of such event was coming up with the perfect wording to imply that guests would not be witnessing their marriage, but celebrating after it had taken place.  Our bride came up with the perfect phrases to insinuate just that!  Check out the wording below.

A First Birthday!

EttasParty Oh what fun, our little Miss Etta Marie turned one!  This meant one thing – it was time to party!

Her soiree was a “Pizza, Pops & Playtime” theme and we put a ton of work into the details!  We decided to use two of Smock's wonderful papers from their Everday line which can be found at Haute Papier Leesburg.  The purple and red of the Flounce and Quadrille flat papers really captured the playful look we were going for.  We designed the invitations to include a hand-cut one and coordinating liner.

We used the four designs for paper decorations throughout the house.  Our favorite touch? The delicate sewn circle garland strung throughout.  Of course, the refreshments fit the theme.

Did you know there were so many foods with the word pop in them? Popcorn, pop rocks, pop chips, cake pops and the list goes on and on!  Overall it was a truly adorable event and fun was had by all. Happy Birthday to Etta Marie!
