Check out the new issue of Central Florida Bride!

We have always been a fan of Central Florida Bride Magazine, but we must say, we are loving it even more these days, since they redesigned the look of it! It's so sophisticated and I just can't wait to tear into each issue!

This issue is super exciting, as they did a full invitation feature. We are happy and honored that we are held in the same esteem as some of our amazing colleagues in the invitation industry. As you can see above we got a full page, and one of our favorite projects was featured!  If you are a reader of my blog, then you've seen it before! Amazing Silk and Letterpress.

Country Elegance!

I have been waiting to blog this for so long. This project was really great for me, because it was not only for a special bride, but a fellow colleague. Jennifer Kurzig of Central Florida Bride Magazine. Her wedding was just this past weekend. The weather was beautiful, and since the festivites were outside I'm sure she is please with the outcome.

Jennifer came to me in January, so excited about her wedding, and excited about working with me. I was equally excited, we had worked together off and on for different things for Central Florida Bride Magazine. I was eager to get going, since this would be a much more personal project for us both.




She envisioned Brown and Cranberry and wanted something that was Cowboy, Country Elegance. She wanted to add flair to a casual comfortable event. So this is what we did. We started with the invitation and then created, menus, thank yous, escort cards and table numbers. Using Espresso Brown Textured Paper, with ivory Classic Crest accents, we created some really amazing stuff. In addition, Wooden Numbers & Clothspins, Cranberry Raffia, and rooster accents the mood was set. And as you can see by the wonderful photography from Jeff Hawkins, I have not done the wedding justice with this blog. Look out to see it in more detail in a featured wedding in Central Florida Bride Magazine.

Central Florida Bride

Seeing our name in print!! So exciting.. The 2u Collection is featured in the current issue of Central Florida Bride Magazine. Shannon Cooper, personal friend and Publicist Extraordinar, wrote an article on the current trend of Custom Designed Invitations. She captured exactly what we do here at 2u, and what it means to customize your wedding details. Sometimes brides make invitations and wedding accompaniments the last thought. This article shares the importance of the Wedding Brand, and thinking the wedding brand through from the early stages of planning. It not only sets the tone, giving guests a preview into the event ahead, but adds the finishing details to every aspect of the event, from Programs for the church to Escort Cards. Customizing your wedding should even go as far as the last impression you leave with your guests, which is the Thank You card.. Thanks Shannon for writing such a glowing article, and speaking so positively about 2u!
