What we've been up to in our Advertising & Marketing Division.

As many of you know we have an Advertising and Marketing Division here, 2u Creative, this is the world I came from before I branched out and started the invitation side of things.


Last year we had alot of projects going on in this division, and I'm going to do my best to blog throughout this year about some of these amazing projects we had the opportunity to create!


I'm starting off with one of my favorites. This client is amazing in many aspects!! First she does my hair, and I must say I've never had a bad hair day (Thanks to her! :))  And she was also one of my brides for last year. So you'll see me blog about her invitations sometime soon as well.


Our goal in this project was to brand her as an independent stylist.  I think we did a good job, and Kim was extremely happy with the result. We created Promotional Mirror Hangers, A Service Menu, Appointment Cards, Direct Mail Pieces, Gift Certificates and Business Cards, as well as sending out Eblast Marketing on a regular basis.

Chanel inspired, Classic Elegance.

This was another of my favorite project of 2010, I loved working with this bride. She is also a creative talented designer with STYLE.  Sabra Hunt and Kenneth Haun, found me from Canada. And am I glad they did! This bride was wonderful to work with. She had her own vision and STYLE, that was fun to execute!! She came to me wanting a Classic Black and White Chanel inspired Theme!  After several phone conversations and brainstorming of ideas, I set to work!

As you can see from the result, we created something very Stylish, and Classic, with an understated elegance. Pearl Metallic White paper with a  Gloss UV- really made a statement, and we added a satin ribbon to the response card to really add a feeling of luxury.

Here are a few images from her reception to give you a feel for the event. I was proud to work with Tracy Marini from Eventfully Yours and Garrett Nudd Photography provided the event images, and Liga Photography provided the in studio images of the stationery!

Last Year was a Crazy Year for us here at The 2u Collection, lots of new things were in development which made it harder for us to blog about all of our events! So here is one of my favorites of last year! Aparna Basu and Michael Lee came to me to help them create the overall stationery look and design for there New York Wedding.

The Beautiful Bride and Groom

I spoke with the Bride over the phone and we hit it off, and shared a similar vision for her ideas. Because they were getting married in the amazing Oheka Castle,  and she wanted a spring, light airy feel in the amazing space full of tradition and grandeur, I thought it was time we took the design back to a simplistic royal elegance.  As you can see, the result was beautiful, with compliments of lace, metallic and satin and button pearls we were able to make a statement that really set the tone.

Our Programs- beautifully displayed.

Escort Cards awaiting guests

Menus make the table elegant

PlaceCards finish the table.

We ended up creating everything from Wedding Invitation, the stickers that graced the favor boxes. Menus, Thank Yous, Escort Cards, Programs, and more really made this event personal for the guests.

The invitations were lovely with champagne lace and metallic paper and satin ribbon- complimented with gold and Amethyst Colors. We used graphics with feelings of luxury fit for The Vanderbilt's of our past. Candlelabra's, Quill Pens and flowers conveyed spring and formality.

Something Unique we did for this wedding, were the place cards.  We Die Cut Butterflies with each guests first name on it, and it rested on their wine glass at the table.

Some additional event images to set the tone!
