A Holiday Wedding In Charleston!

So I know it's March and by now I should have had these images posted, but you know I feel like I blinked and it went from January to April.. So forgive me Jennifer and Zachary.

Last fall I took on a project in conjunction with Ines Del Mar Weddings Magazine to create invitations and menus for a feature wedding they were doing.. The colors were silver and black, the bride requested dramatic and moody, yet couture, stylish and design forward.. So I put on my cap. We used Swarovski Crystals, Black Ribbon, Silver Metallic and Black Touché papers. Everything came out beautifully.





The Magazine, Bride and Groom and myself were all very happy with the result! Below is even the praise I received from the bride for my website! This was a not amazing to design- I am excited the invitations will be in the next issue of Ines Del Mar Weddings Magazine!



Testimonial from the Bride: Our invitations meant a great deal to my fiancé and I; they are the first impression to the big day. Honestly, I had no idea what I wanted my invitations to look like, but I knew that I wanted them to be one of a kind and extraordinary. Amy was the easiest vendor that we worked with during our entire event. I told her our colors and the general wedding theme and she delivered the invitation of our dreams! It was a perfect piece of art! The invitation brought both our mothers to actual tears. The craftsmanship, quality, and attention to detail are truly five star! Everything that she chose to use was above and beyond what we had in mind. Our family and friends left us countless messages just to tell us how marvelous our invitations were. After we saw the invitations we knew that we had to have her do our menu cards. Just as the invitation was the first impression to the wedding, the menu cards are the first impression to dinner. Our guests loved the stellar detailed menu card and loved how it mirrored our invitations. We cannot say enough about The 2u Collection! If you are looking for invitations that are unforgettable and people who are exceptional…then The 2u Collection is for you.

A Summer of Lavished Lingerie!!

Obviously way overdue.. But the summer of 2008 was fun for numerous reasons. A big one.. Lavish Boutique! Thanks to my friend, Cristina of CCH Marketing. I met Jennifer of Lavish Boutique located in HANNIBAL SQUARE of Winter Park. She asked me to help her and Cristina further develop the Lavish brand! We needed photography, collateral, events (which of course Cristina had covered!)

Over the course of the summer The 2u Collection designed and developed the Brand for a Direct Mail Postcard, A Lingerie Rack Card, A Lingerie Party Invite, Business Cards, A Gift Card Holder, Eblasts, and much more. (some printed pieces pictured above) Jennifer and have I built such a relationship that we have not only became friends, but we have participated in several events together and my Paper Couture Stationery line even sells in her Boutique!



Advertising Collateral just isn't as effective without GREAT photography-- and of course my photography go to gal? Abby Liga of Liga Photography. We scheduled a photoshoot which I got to art direct. (but see below all of the genius goes to Abby!) Here are some behind the scenes and a few of the amazing results Abby got that day! All the collateral I discuss in this blog just wouldn't be as good without Abby's photography contribution. She's not just a Wedding Photographer you know.. Pretty genius on many levels that girl! (oh and did I mention Abby shot all of the collateral photography also!





All of the ladies I have mentioned in this blog are great friends and savvy business women. I am proud to be lucky enough to be involved in various projects with them all!
