Real Wedding: Washington, D.C.

This elegant wedding took place at the National Museum of Women in the Arts and included our white programs with gold foil and Bickham Swash Caps calligraphy.



The ceremony site was stunning!


We also provided menus that were white with metallic purple foil letterpress.


How stylish is this couple?

Real Wedding by Jose Villa

We love Fridays and thought it would be a sweet treat to kickoff the wedding with this Jose Villa stunner. It was such a pleasant surprise when our client popped over these swoon-worthy photos of her wedding and mentioned that famed photog Jose Villa had captured it all.

In addition to the invitation envelopes (not pictured), we worked on the wedding reception for this beautiful Los Angeles wedding and it is so wonderful to see our pieces tied in with the gorgeous wedding design.

We took care of the petal bag tags, "Post a Love Note" sign for the "guestbook", table numbers, menus and tags for all of the dessert buffet yummies!


















Congratulations to the bride and groom!

Real Wedding: NYIT de Seversky Mansion, New York

The lovely ladies over at Always a Blogsmaid worked on this beautifully vibrant wedding at the NYIT de Seversky Mansion in New York. They worked with the luscious color scheme of purple and blush, to create a truly unique {and super floral} look!

First we definitely need to point out the ceremony venue transformation that they pulled off. The couple loved the venue except for the fans in the ceremony site.


So instead of scrapping the venue, they figured out a way to use the fans to their advantage. Swap out the chairs and add an array of cherry blossoms, and the room is completely transformed!


And the ballroom itself was simply gorgeous!


We contributed escort cards and table signs to compliment the look.




The table signs were names of the couple's favorite restaurants around the city to personalize the room.

Thank you to Heather Waraksa for sharing her beautiful photos with us, and to see more on this lovely affair, visit the Always a Blogsmaid blog.

Real Wedding: Montego Bay, Jamaica

One of our most popular blog posts ever was one featuring a boarding pass invitation suite. We also created an adorable Jamaica map for the couple, so we thought it would be fun to share the photos from the wedding itself!

First, the pieces we contributed...



And now the beautiful wedding photographed by Andrea Jae Photography, starting with the bride in her drool-worthy dress!









Congratulations to the bride and groom!

Real Wedding: San Ysidro, CA {Real Bride Aly}

We were so excited to receive these gorgeous photos from our last bride-to-be Aly! Her wedding was beautiful and she and her new husband Wes were simply glowing. Here is the final entry from bride-to-be Aly.

Over the past few months, I waited in anticipation of our wedding photography. I was so excited to see how our photographer, Kirsten Ellis of Beaux Arts Photographie, would capture our day. That was one of the biggest "unknowns" of the wedding day ~ what would the pictures come out like? Would she get all the right moments, people, and images? But I had to let it go, let her do what she does best and be creative.


When we did receive the pictures, my jaw dropped they were so unbelievably breath taking. She captured San Ysidro perfectly and the love between not only Wes and me but also the love of our family and friends. All of the vendors that helped me create our day were beyond amazing and we could have not done it without them. From Laura with all the stationery goodies, Dedra Whitt making us ladies look gorgeous, Anthony Ybarra playing all our song requests, Richard Tobin for putting up with five wedding ceremony revisions, Kirsten for being called the papparazzi to Tess, Scott and the crew at the Ranch ~ it was a magical day for Wes and me, and for that we thank each and every one of you.

For all the brides to be out there, here are a few tips of advice. The last month is going to be stressful, many sleepless nights and even some arguments, but when you sit next to your husband at your reception and cheers together your first glass of champagne, all of the past month goes away. And none of those petty arguments matter or those sleepless nights. Take in all of the moments you can, breathe and have fun. The day is about you and your husband and nobody else. So here is our day in photos, particularly focusing on our products from Laura Hooper Calligraphy!




















Thank you to everyone who read my posts and put up with me over the past few months. I cannot believe a few months ago I was still a bride to be and now I am officially a newlywed.

I will leave you with a quote in which I love and was apart of my vows to Wes by Winnie the Pooh. "If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day, so I never have to live without you."



Always with love,
Alyson Bowyer-Colgan
