    last night i was on the phone with one of my clients who is getting married the last weekend in September.  her and her fiance both live in San Diego and they are one of the sweetest couples i've had the pleasure to work with!  she has decided she wants to have assigned seating at her reception dinner.  so glad!  i really prefer this to open seating.  it's pretty, it's organized and it gives your guests a sense of comfort and even love knowing you have spent the extra time to purposely place them at a table with other guests they either know already or who would be a g...

  • I recently attended a wedding (of a stylish Wedding Paper Divas staffer) where the place cards were elegantly displayed on a homemade wooden rack.  Since I’d never seen place cards displayed this way before, I was intrigued by the idea of elegant card displays.

    I love when things turn out exactly as I had pictured them. This one was a little iffy, all the way until it was finished. It turned out much girlier than I anticipated, but so far DJ does not seem to mind. The moss and girliness makes me think of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s The Secret Garden.

But it was delivered quickly and packed well. Quick note on moss: I ordered the dyed green variety, and it is a perf...

  • I was just in an antique store the other day and noticed the prettiest display of jewelry. The shop owner {who is so crafty} found a vintage frame. Inside of it was a piece of foam core that she wrapped in a neutral fabric. The jewelry hung from straight pins that were pinned into the foam core. The same idea would make such a lovely escort card display.{image via Instyle Wedings via Oh So Beautiful Paper}...
