Styled Shoot: K and K Celebrates, Frosty Blues

This past winter I had the pleasure of working with K and K Celebrates, a talented sister team based out of Chicago for two styled shoots. These two dreamy concepts were so fun to work with and create concepts for! The first one was this elegant, frosty blue color-scheme with hints of silver, white, and a pop of red florals.

These beautiful grazing boxes by Sage and Jam serve as both a great cocktail hour solution, but a fun way to make sure all guests receive and locate their seats with their escort cards.

To add a special touch to the bar, I illustrated this mulled wine drink. How delicious does the real thing look? Yum!

Styled Shoot: Romantic, Gold and Green Brunch

I loved getting to be apart of this wedding brunch styled shoot with so many beautiful additions dreamt up by the Elisabeth Dari and her team! The gold, cream, and green accents are the perfect engagement or bridal brunch accents to warm up the colder, dreary months of winter. Check out the magic below.

For the invitations, I went with a modern shop square accented with arch typographic details. The colors in the watercolor strokes and the touch of spot calligraphy added that bohemian feel.

Adding to the theme of mixed metals and greenery, I choose a gold envelope liner with gold calligraphy on the mailing envelope to off set the bronze and dark gun-metal gray on the invite.

Adding these watercolor sayings to individual place settings, each with a different poem, lyric or phrase added that touch of intimacy to the table that a smaller gathering allows. Topping them off with eucalyptus and a gold wax seal added texture to this already beautiful tablescape.

Set-up in their corporate office, this fun event include the incredible brands Kendra Scott, Cecil’s Flowers, Tablescape Lines, DJ, and Roanoke restaurant, Pinestripes catering, and more.

My favorite was their pairing bar of popcorn, chocolate and drinks —how fun!

A few months ago I had the delight to work on these fun, oversized bridal shower invites. The party theme was a garden tea and the client was looking for something subtle but with a nod to the brides wedding colors. After a few different designs, we both settled on these graceful, watercolor flower invites. I really love how they turned out!

I did these lovely invites to honor a family friend back in the late summer. Set with a a color palette of purple, cream, and grey - I knew I wanted to keep the invite itself airy, feminine, and bright. I had been admiring the Saint Agnes font for sometime and knew that these sweet invites would be a perfect use for the elegant, but whimsical font. The combination of it all created a beautiful outcome, don't you think?
