We are so honored that Chau & Jeffrey’s wedding at Bently Reserve was featured in The Knot!! It was truly a pleasure teaming up with Gloria Wong Design, Angie Silvy Photography and I Dream Of Cake to create this chic butterfly wedding.
Invitations create the first impression for your entire event. Besides information, it tells your guests your wedding’s colors, style and what’s to expect. As a stationery designer, it is a shame that I haven’t done anything invitation-related and my wedding is 5 months away. I didn’t even do a save the date card and not even a formal email announcement. -_-” So, I am determined I should at least start researching and so here comes my very first invitation post.
I learned about Good on Paper Design by Lisa Wong Jackson about 4 years ago and I was particularly fond of her simple yet chic eco-friendly designs. I forgot where did I find her wedding pictures that have been featured on Martha Stewart Magazine, Project Wedding as well as tons of websites and blogs and her wedding was put together by an amazing team, including Nancy Liu Chin, Lisa Lefkowitz Photography, and of course herself. I like the way she combines color and nature and makes the mundane things look modernish.
I got to admit I love notebooks. Not that I have too many things I need to write down, but I am just obsessed with the feel of different types of paper, patterns and illustrations. In my collection, Jill Bliss design is one of my favorite. I got her native flowers notebook 2 years ago and till now I am still very much in love with it. The notebook features 5 different flower design and is printed on 30% post-consumer waste recycled paper (yea!! greener is better). Her illustrations are packed with fun details and vibrant colors. So for this Christmas, maybe pick up a card or notebooks from Blissen.
You may also check out Relish at Home in Berkeley, where you will find a series of Jill Bliss’s gallery exhibitions, plus handmade items from local artists. Some of the items I love are Wood Bowls and Kelly’s handmade hairpins ( they are featured on Martha Stewart Wedding 2006).
