Gotham Hall...Gorgeous! (continuation of Letterpress...Yes Yes!) PART I

This October I had the pleasure in being a part of an amazing union. This bride came to me last March, she had a color palette of platinum and champagne. She was a joy to work with, we collaborated for the last 7 months to create the stationery below. I've been so excited about this stationery, I couldn't wait and I've blogged about it before. However, now I have the whole wedding of Samira and Jesse, so keep reading...it's a visual treat! And there is so much to share, it will be a 2 parter, so be sure to check back in a few days for Part 2!

Letterpress by Mama Sauce

Design and Hand Silk and Crystal work by: The 2u Collection

It all started in March 2011, Samira found me through referral and was excited for us as The 2u Collection to handle her wedding stationery. We were super excited as well, and the modern chic style of the bride, left us limitless possibilities! 

Meet Samira. Love her, and her style is pretty much summed up in this image!
Here's what she had to say about her invitations: "I have gotten so many compliments on the invitations....i lost track after the 57th.  People who are related to people who received the invitation are going nuts over them!  Men are actually commenting on how they are the most beautiful invites they have ever seen!  My cousin has it on display at her house!  I can go on and on!"
