Real or Not Real?

That is the question.

This bouquet was created for a Thanksgiving windowscape that I designed last year. The theme was A Harvest of Love. I used colors (burgundy, brown, burnt orange, and ivory) tp provoke feelings of warmth and comfort. Just like those good feelings that we normally experience that time of year. The bouquet was created with with 18 calla lilies, and trimmed with berries. Wrapped with ivory double-faced satin ribbon, and accented with buttercup satin ribbon to create a wow factor.

Do you think this bouquet is made of real or silk flowers?

Sneak Peak: Evola's Elements

Here are a few of the custom designs that I created for Evola's big day pictured above. She and Ralph were joined together on June 26, 2010 in a beautiful ceremony in the Bronx, NY. As you can see, her color palette consisted of Ivory, Gold, and what you can't see, Mauve (a pinkish hue).

During the design process, much of my inspiration came from her fairytale vision, and the chic-modern way the industry was turning. It seemed with each element that I stepped into to create, I was guided and overwhelmed with a sense of something bigger than I. As I presented Evola with each element of design, she was amazed as her plans began to take shape and become a reality. From her invitations to her wedding programs, she was delighted and excited, and I was too. But nothing compared to the "day of" when all the elements came together, and exploded with a "wow factor".

I look forward to sharing these moments with you as they unfold.

Evola's Gold & Ivory Invitation

I must admit, I had fun with this one. Not to mention, this is the first wedding invitation to come from under the Paper Dreams & Keepsakes, LLC family, Offically. The Bride expressed to me her dream of wanting to feel like a princess. She wanted a castle and she wanted a romantic feel to it.

This Golden pocket fold consist of double layer custom cut stock cards (bottom: ivory with gold rose print. Top: ivory with black print), and a translucent ivory overlay, and mauve crystal centered underneath. Detailed with an RSVP and reception cards. I have only one professional photo so far, but I promise, more is soon to come.

More details on this invite and other dreamy things Soon to Come!

XOXO
