"How to" Videos for About.com

It's been a busy day at Haute Papier Leesburg today.  We were asked by MonkeySee.com (who we did a bunch of videos for a few years ago) to do a few series of videos for one of their partners, about.com.  We shot 24 tutorials on wedding invitations, bridal shower invitations, programs and save-the-dates in one long day!  Here are a few pics - we'll be sure to share the videos once they're out.

That's Amore ;)

InsideWeddingsWe're just so excited to share this bit of recent press with you!  Our friend, Raina, had such a beautiful wedding (that we were so delighted to design the paperie for) that we just knew it would be featured in a magazine.  And while that's so exciting, it means we have to keep the pictures a secret until it's on the newstands!  Talk about tough!!! Here are the spreads from the magazine.  Stay tuned next week when we put together an inspiration board based on the stunning styling Raina (of Raina Dawn Events) put together for her special day when she married the man of her dreams!

Congrats Raina & Guy - we're so excited for you!  (And a big thank you to Inside Weddings for including us in the article and Christian Oth for the gorgeous photography!)

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.

Today a special thank you goes out to a couple of girls that we haven't met, but have heard so much about from our friend Raina of Raina Dawn Events!  (BTW - we'd love to meet you girls if you're ever down in the DC area!)  Being the expert in Newport weddings, Raina knows the best of the best vendors in Rhode Island and we were fortunate enough to work with her and Snap!
