Jena & Nick: save the dates

At last, a look at Jena & Nick's GORGEOUS save the dates!


Our bride, Jena, a former classmate from high school, was a JOY to work with!  And, we might add, one of the most organized clients we've ever had.  We're swooning over the classic black & white accented by the fashionable deep plum - a chic update to a Fall color palette!  Jena was looking for something simple and sophisticated, with just a hint of playfulness, which we delivered by adding "he asked, she said yes!", to otherwise formal wording. 






The chic "J&N" monogram established a design element that can be incorporated into other wedding details such as wedding programs, cocktail napkins and their return address (which we used on the back of their save the date envelopes in place of the couple's names).  What we love best about this design, which we are calling the "Jena", is how the elegant script and simple design highlights the bride & groom's names - exactly where the focus of a save the date should be. 

Your save the date (just like your Facebook profile pic) is your wedding's first impression, so it should look like you.  Right?  A really, really good version of you.  Your wedding asthetic, with the stationery in particular, should be a reflection of your personal style and the style of the wedding. 

We can tell you first hand that Jena's save the date is just as sophisticated as she is!   Can't wait to show you the rest of this couple's gorgeous wedding stationery in the fall.

Sneak Peek

We've been BEYOND excited to share one of our latest projects with you and impatiently waiting for the mail system to do its thing so you wouldn't get a sneak peek before our couple's guests did.  As much as we adore sending and receiving mail, the process certainly has tested our patience this week. 

And since we just can't contain ourselves any longer, we thought we'd give you a sneak preview, sort of.  We don't want to give away too much, so we're sharing an inspiration board of ours that was featured on Style Me Pretty and just so happens to remind us of our current project.  Below is Little Black Press' winning entry to Style Me Pretty's Little Black Dress competition (it was meant to be, we know!).  The challenge was to pick our favorite LBD and create a color scheme and inspiration board around it.  We LOVE this so much because although every bride says it, and we believe they really do mean it, most bridesmaid dresses can't be worn again.  The LBD, on the other hand, can. 



Dress:  Vera Wang; Shoes:  Zappos; Ring Pillow:  The Knot; Macaroons:  Laduree Paris; Invitations:  Ceci New York; Flowers:  Winston's Boston.

Check back early next week to see our latest project!  The suspense is killing you, we know.
