BLUSH & MUSTARD FLORAL BABY SHOWER

This isn't just any baby shower. This baby shower was for one of my best childhood friends (hosted with our other best, long time gfs).  This last photo above, that's us and sums us up perfectly. Always laughing about something, being silly, and cherishing our 19+ years of friendship. Friends turned sisters. It's unbelievably exciting to celebrate such sweet occasions for the people you love.  I was happy to lend my talents in making this day beautiful and memorable for Heather. That Sarah Tucker,   she made everything happen and opened up her beautiful home for the day.  I painted the flamingo crest and printed it on canvas to welcome all the guests to the party,  a just for fun 'photo booth' that I hand painted on Sarah's dining room floor one evening while planning last minute details.  We did a cheese table with calligraphy painted directly on it, some sweet treats and little sandwiches, infused water, pink champagne (of course). Sarah also secretly got baby photos that were placed about the house on white balloons.  We all laughed at the cute pictures and wondered who Ava will look like.  We are desperate to meet this little girl and it could be any time now with a due date of February 1st!

RECENT WORK: A CREST WITH MUTED FLORALS

Another pretty crest design with a muted color palette.  Loved the floral inspiration I received for this and the addition of the barn illustration (where this couple will get married) is the little cherry on top!

RECENT WEDDING WORK + A FEATURE ON TOWN & COUNTRY MAG

Recent 'day of' stationery for a fun couple! I loved that they included their pup in the design and all the bright, pretty colors I was able to incorporate.  We printed individual menus, hand painted the 16 x 20 welcome sign along with 8 smaller hand painted signs for things like sparklers, cards, etc. I cut and painted the Mr. & Mrs. wood signs (plus two for their moms) to hang on the back of their chairs. All kinds of fun stuff for these two! 

THEN... Town and Country Magazine featured this crest design on their list of top wedding illustrators.  When I realized I was one of eight I was completely floored. I am so honored to be included in some amazing press lately!

REAL WEDDINGS : A ROMANTIC GARDEN AFFAIR IN NAPLES, FLORIDA

I could not resist sharing a few extra photos from this gorgeous Naples wedding captured vibrantly and beautifully by Justin Demutiis Photography! You may remember me posting this crest and invitation suite awhile back, it was so much fun to make.  Anything that features a ton of coral charm peonies is alright by me.  We were featured over on Style Me Pretty earlier this week, view the full wedding post here
