Wedding Wednesday | Stephanie + Don's Wedding Stationery {Tallmadge, Ohio}

Nothing makes me happier than seeing a couple so very, truly and deeply in love - that was the case with Stephanie and Don!  It made working with the two of them such a joy, especially during Day-of Coordination. . . the tears weren't only flowing from their friends and family :o)  It also didn't hurt that their wedding colors included my favorite - deep, dark purple!

Stephanie knew she wanted some "bling" added to her invitation suite to really portray the glitz guests were going to experience on the wedding day so we started with a silver metallic stock and had it printed in dark purple thermography.  Completing the invitation we attached it to a beautiful clutch-type pocket (which held all the other pieces of the suite perfectly) and added gorgeous amethyst Swarovski Crystals to their "X" monogram.

One of my favorite elements of this design was the custom return address stamp - hand-stamped in silver ink on the dark envelopes.  It was the perfect touch and something wonderful for Stephanie and Don to have for their new home!

We finished off the stationery set with coordinating monogrammed thank you notes - digitally printed on white linen (much easier to write on than the metallic stock) and finished with a beautiful Swarovski Crystal!

baci designs | Natalie + PJ's Wedding Stationery {Akron, Ohio}

I love having the opportunity to work on family weddings so I was thrilled when Natalie, Ilario's cousin, approached me to design the stationery for her big day!!

We started with a simple, but cute save the date magnet - the two got married at The Portage Country Club overlooking the golf course, so their photo choice was perfectly appropriate :o)  Their custom monogram, black and green color combo and polka dots were continued throughout the rest of the stationery as well.

Taking the basic pocket to another level, we attached the invitation to the front and stuffed the back pocket with all the necessary information - Directions and Accommodations Card, Reception Card and Reply Postcard.  Adding a bit of flair, the circle hole punch allowed for the couple's custom monogram to peak through.  One of my favorite parts of the invitation suite was the polka dot return address - it just was too adorable for words!

We continued the black and green polka dots onto day-of stationery, creating fan programs for the outdoor ceremony (and boy were they necessary that day - the temperatures soared!), wine bottles that doubled as both an escort card and a favor for guests to take home and place cards for the dinner tables.  Finishing off the stationery, we created coordinating thank you notes adorned with the couple's monogram.

baci's babies week :: baci designs | Carrie's Baby Shower Stationery {Tallmadge, Ohio}

Early last Spring, Ilario's cousin Maria asked me to create stationery for her daughter-in-law Carrie's upcoming baby shower!  Carrie knew she was having a little girl and they had already chosen a name - Anna Maria - so with that in mind and using the adorable bird's egg soap in nest favor as inspiration we designed a gorgeous suite, complete with thank you notes and a Baby Shower Memory/Guest Book, on Handmade Seeded Stock.  I honestly can't get enough of the little nest and bird designs - they turned out so stinking cute :o)

Wedding Wednesday | Casey + Josh's Custom Wedding Stationery {Hicksville, Ohio}

Casey and Josh's simply beautiful Valentine's Day Wedding Stationery has been featured on WeddingLovely Blog in my article, "The Importance of the Wedding Invitation", but somehow it never made an appearance here.  The monogrammed suite is the perfect example of affordable (and gorgeous!) custom stationery - just because you're on a budget doesn't mean your wedding invitation can't be beautiful!

Wedding Wednesday | Valentine's Day Wedding Stationery {Defiance, Ohio}

Remember Casey and Josh's Valentine's Day Wedding from last year? Well, I just realized that I never shared the gorgeous stationery we created for their big day. So, in honor of this weekend's upcoming Valentine's Day (and Casey and Josh's One-year Anniversary!!) I thought I'd display their invitations and thank you cards. I just love the simplicity in the design - so pretty!!
