Menu Reflecting...
This past fall, my bride, Sarah and I were working on the wedding day stationary for her upcoming wedding, and nothing was doing the trick for her in regards to a printed menu. We tried playing with different shapes, sizes, papers, etc and we could not decide on the one. I did not want her to eliminate the menu all together as it such a great way to communicate to guests what will be served and is especially informative to anyone with food allergies or aversions.
She also was not 100% in love with any of the numerous charger plates that we had looked at, and that is when it came to me....let's make the charger the menu, or I could say the menu the charger!
I wanted to use a round mirror as the charger and have the menu written in hand calligraphy on the mirror. I could just picture how beautiful that would look! I immediately called one of my favorite calligraphers, Laura Hooper, and we discussed the details and of course she was up for the task of getting 200 of these complete in time for the big day! I just love how they turned out!!
These mirror calligraphy menus were such a big hit at the wedding, that I decided to incorporate them into our design at the recent Washingtonian Bride and Groom Unveiled bridal show. I think they looked fantastic here as well!
More menu memories to come....

Spotlight on Bride Sarah
I just received a few images from Sarah and Ben's wedding that took place in Naples, FL this past fall. Once I saw the sampling of photos from Binaryflips Photography, I knew that the images from this real wedding were going to fill up more than one blog post! I met Sarah at Washingtonian Bride and Groom's Unveiled Show last year, which I just so happened to be honored to participate in again just yesterday! I thought it was fitting to showcase Sarah in all her bridal glory. Sarah was not only a beautiful bride on her wedding day, but honestly one of the most kind hearted and thoughtful people I have had the privilege to work with. I know that I have gained a life long friend in this bride!
The elegant bouquet above was not only beautiful but a very special gift! The bride's dear friend Suha Kaidbey, owner of Le Printemps, brought the lily of the valleys with her from DC and carried them on the plane in a cooler!
The photos of the Rivini dress from Carine's Bridal Atelier above are a few of my favorites! This was another special delivery from DC to FL. I remember holding my breath taking the dress through security and I may or may not have asked the man next to me to move to another seat so the dress could sit next to me!! I didn't think it was such a outlandish request, but his eye rolling as he moved may have suggested otherwise :)
More of this wedding to come, think mirror calligraphy, bourbon bars and....a Guns n Roses Axl Rose and Slash reunion?!??!?!
