I always like to support other businesses in the field, even though they might be competition. The design world is filled with tons of talent and there is enough to go around, that’s for sure. Everyone has a preference and likes different aesthetics, so you should never have a problem finding what you’re looking for.

Basic Invite is a great place to shop for all your stationery needs. They offer invitations for all type of events, including weddings, as well as all things baby. Everything can be customized and they have unlimited color options so you can make sure the item is exactly how you want it. They are one of the few websites that allow you so many choices. In addition, you can get custom samples of the item you are ordering. This allows you to not only get a feel of the paper they offer, but hold an exact replica in your hand.

If you are planning a wedding, Basic Invite has it all. You can find the perfect bridal shower invitations to get started, and then move on to your save the dates from there. They even offer save the date magnets, if that’s your thing.

And once you are ready to get those invitations in order for the big day, you can count on Basic Invite to cover all the bases. Their wedding invitation examples really help guide you in the right direction. Whether you want a romantic, modern, or a vintage design, you will find something you like. The bonus is they have over 40 different envelope colors so finding that perfect match is not a problem. And they are peel and seal, which saves so much time. Plus, their free address collection service makes that task simple as can be.

For day of stationery and decor, you can find a lot of options for those as well. For seating, place cards for your wedding are a convenient and classic choice.

Having a guest book at your wedding is nice idea too. Basic Invite offers a large variety of these and you can customize them all. They are classic and sophisticated, and lay flat for that streamlined look.

Basic Invite also just launched their new clear collection and added rose gold to their foil line. So if these are up your alley, go for it!

It’s worth a visit to see what they have to offer. And check them out on social media to get news and see what they are currently up to. Like them on Facebook and follow them on Instagram and Twitter. And for event inspiration, take a peek at their Pinterest boards too!

This month I had the pleasure of designing the wedding album for Kayla and Edward, a Colorado couple. Their wedding was filled with unique and heartfelt touches and the landscape was simply stunning. Their wanted their vows and wedding song lyrics incorporated as well, which I always recommend, and they decided on my digital linen album in navy. A beautiful day for a super cute Mr. and Mrs. Here is a little sneak peak into their album.

I have been working alongside Colleen for about two years now. We started with her save the dates, which led to designing all her wedding stationery for the big day. I loved the elegant and classic style each item reflected and knew everything would come together beautifully. You can imagine I was excited to design her and Ryan’s wedding album a year after the event, as well as their parent albums. Finally, I got to see photos of the event and it really was spectacular.

It has been such a pleasure creating all these special items for this couple. I have also designed stationery for their friends and family, and am so thankful for Colleen referring me to all the special people in her life. Here is a little peek into their album. They chose my digital linen in light gray, such a pretty choice. All photos were taken by the talented Nathan Peracciny. Enjoy!

Today I am sharing the beautiful wedding of Katherine and Carlos that took place in Mexico. From the breathtaking surroundings to the gorgeous couple themselves, this was a day to remember. Here is a little peek into their special day. Enjoy!
