Angela + Jake | wedding invitations

JA_01JA_05 JA_02 JA_03 JA_04 I now pronounce them husband and wife, therefore, I will publish their wedding invitations to the webs!

Jake is my cousin, and I offered to create their wedding invites the day he proposed to Angela ... okay maybe that is an exaggeration, but it was a while ago. Lucky for me, they said yes! They are a super fun couple so I knew that I would have a lot of creative freedom with the design. Jake is from the Seattle area, and Angela, well she's from everywhere. When I asked them what they were going for with the theme of their wedding they said: Seattle, fun and pink (that was more Angela than Jake, you may have guessed that). They were married on Sunday, July 3rd in Georgetown (a super hip part of South Seattle).

I wish them the best in their marriage and I am so happy I was able to be apart of it. Cheers to the bride and groom!

Expert Advice, BDR-studio at Martha Stewart Weddings

BDR_Eva+Sam_laidoutSomeone decided that I am an expert, and when that someone is Martha Stewart, the least that I can do is agree! When Erin at Martha asked me to contribute, it was like, 'oh heck yes!' -- so off I went , expert-ing it up!

She asked me to write something short and sweet that would give brides-(and grooms)-to-be the insider scoop. Believe it or not, I create a lot of wedding invitations (I do not create a lot of photographic evidence of them), so I figured the theme, Wedding Invitation Inspiration, would fit the bill. Check out all that I had to say here.

P.S. I still can't believe this happened, OMG.
