…sorry for the light posting the past couple weeks. I’ve been very busy with press work, selling my house and preparing for the National Stationery Show! Yikes I am so busy I’m losing it :) I wanted to share a client designed invitation suite that I finished recently. Isn’t it sweet? What would you design for your wedding invitations?
erin didn’t grow up in a huge metropolis, but living just outside of a large city in upstate new york is enough to label her a city girl. jason grew up in one of the largest agricultural districts in new york. from different backgrounds, they both saw something in each other that would link the two of them together. when things got serious between them, erin found the idea of living in a small town so appealing. when they decided to get married, they knew it would be a fun and casual event filled with lots of country charm and whimsy. dreaming of a wedding in a barn, they kept having a hard time finding a barn large enough to accommodate their gigantic guest list…. so they looked outside of new york and fell in love with a country manor in the middle of the berkshires. they were very excited about the wedding turning into a destination event, and yet it was close enough to new york that all of their guests could attend.
the ceremony and reception took place at bucksteep manor in washington, massachusetts
erin chose her mother as her matron of honor
all of the flowers were arranged by frank gallo & son florist
the groomsmen wore brown tuxedos from choppa & son formalwear
the bridesmaids wore dresses from pacificplex
the couple exchanged vows in a gazebo on the grounds with a close friend as the officiant
the wedding theme was “a perfect pear” and the ceremony and reception area were adorned with grape vines and pears
guests left messages on pear themed memory cards that coordinated with the wedding invitations. erin had custom pear candles made for each guest that also served as escort cards.
the wedding cake was made by erin’s aunt beverly. erin printed and constructed vellum photo frames so that the candlelight could glow through the pictures. each photo represented a special moment the bride and groom shared with their friends and family.
thank you very much erin and jason for sharing your wedding with us. a special thanks to Lu from Wedding Combo and Charise Isis for taking such great wedding photos.

…I am so excited to head off to the National Stationery Show in NYC! I want to exhibit next year so I need to see the show in person and see what it’s like. I was debating whether or not I should even attend this year…you know the whole pig flu outbreak and so on…not because I am afraid of getting the flu..more because I have kids and I am deathly afraid of ALL germs…I do not discriminate..I hate them all. But I am going to be brave and just have fun meeting people who’s work I am fond of and hopefully finding some really cool products that I might want to offer my customers. Have a great weekend! What are you up to?

I wish I could have been this excited about the water in my basement. I’ve been busy cleaning up and washing everything that got soaked by my squirting furnace. I hope my carpet dries soon and doesn’t stink of mildew when this is all over. It’s been a long week!
