This past weekend, my friend Chrissy at Coco’s Customs threw a spectacular event filled with nature goodies, rustic touches, and nautical flair. I had the pleasure of helping her out with a few details and designed some signs and paper goods for the event. The special day was held at the The Southward Ho Country Club in Bayshore NY and celebrated the wedding of Sara and Buddy, a couple who have already tied the knot months earlier, and were now partying it up with all their family and friends. It was a true success to say the least.

Ten23 Designs also helped out and designed the various decals and wood signs. Here are some photos from the event. Hope they bring inspiration your way. Enjoy!

I was so excited when Atlanta photographer, Linda Kovtoun, contacted me to be a part of an inspiration shoot she was putting together. The theme was Autumn and the shoot was held at a historic home in Fayetteville, Georgia. A special version of my Autumn Floral invitation suite was featured in the shoot and it couldn’t have been perfect. After all is said and done, here are the beautiful images from that day. What a great job Linda did capturing the peacefulness of the property and all the gorgeous elements of the shoot, and two thumbs up to the rest of the crew who did such a great job to help everything come together. Enjoy!

A few months ago, I designed a wedding album and album box for Valerie and Aaron. I worked with Valerie on the project, which was a gift to Aaron for their 8th anniversary. It was such a pleasure creating this keepsake and I am happy I made a new friend out of the experience, as her and I still talk via email. She chose my digital linen album in olive green with ‘eyes wide open‘ embossed on the cover. The whole presentation, the album in the box, really looked beautiful and I am so thrilled they loved how it came out.

Their wedding took place on Aaron’s family estate in Minnesota. Filled with grassy plains and endless fields of wildflowers, it was a perfect place for them to share their vows and celebrate with all of their loved ones. There were many readings during the ceremony, all were beautiful, and tons of dancing during the reception. Needless to say, everyone had the time of their lives.

Here is little peek into their special day and the album I created. Enjoy!
