Geordan & Rich got married at Jonathan Edwards Winery in Connecticut and wanted their wedding to have a rustic, elegant feel. We set the tone for their big day by merging different patterns, textures and a mix of fonts to create a playful yet formal letterpress invitation suite. Top it off with calligraphy from the super talented Kristen Henderson, along with custom postage stamps and this suite has become one of our all time favorites!

From the first time I laid eyes on this shoe storage unit, I've been obsessed! My new closet leaves me lacking for shoe space and this is seemingly the perfect solution to take care of those pretty kicks! What is your shoe storage solution? Any ideas??

One thing I miss dearly about living in Seattle is the coffee culture. There is nothing like kicking off the week with the smell of roasted beans & some strong brew. The totally nerdy side of me loves this artsy photo showing the different stages of coffee. I figured it's only appropriate for a Monday. :)

Have a fabulous start to your week!
It's been an exciting week and I hope yours has been equally as wonderful as mine! This weekend, let's be 100% devoted to finding inspiration through relaxing and re-charging, shall we?
Make a new playlist or Spotify station with songs that inspire and relax. I don't know about you, but whenever I carve out time to just chill and listen to music, I feel all sorts of refreshed. And obviously I advocate for this to be done while sipping coffee... or tea if that's your thing. :)

Go for a walk and try to make it during sunrise or sunset to see the world illuminated in a light that we rarely make time to appreciate. It even SOUNDS refreshing, don't you think? Just do it, you know you want to!

In my case, it will be something beachy but wherever you're at whether surrounded by mountains, a lake or in the middle of a booming city, seek out a beautiful spot and spend some time in silence. No looking at instagram or Facebook, OK? Just breathe and relax...

Happy weekending!
The Mr. and I have been surrounded by warm air and white sand for a few days now and I'm loving the laid back look of tropical style. This beaded clutch caught my eye awhile ago and would be the perfect way to accessorize an outfit- casual or formal! Isn't this pattern so fun?!

Sadly I'm not rocking this exact purse, however it's been fun pulling out some of my beachy & warm weather handbags to sport while honeymooning! Happy Purseday!
Yep, we've had another vendor crush and I think you'll feel the same! I first laid eyes on one of the beautiful creations by The First Snow when I saw this feature on Wedding Chicks. For obvious reasons, I fell in love with this gold foil print of the couples vows:

Adorable, right!? Another Etsy SCORE! As I peeked around their shop, I stumbled upon cuteness ranging from these "Will you be my bridesmaid" cards:

To customizable cake toppers or cute generic ones:

And fun framable art like this beautiful quote by J.R.R. Tolkien:

Which is your favorite? I hope you're equally inspired by The First Snow as we are!!
Though the first day of autumn hit us on Sunday, I'm submersed in tropical weather & therefore am making an excuse for one last super sassy pair of sandals for our Shoesday pick today. I just love the funky leather pattern on these heels!
{via}
And it's pure coincidence that I sumbeled upon this geometric pink, stair rail in St. Lucia! A match made in heaven!

Happy Tuesday Shoesday!
Welp, I'm officially Mrs. Berglund now!!! The weekend flew by in all of its beauty and the Mr. and I are now headed off for some much needed relaxation in St. Lucia. For me, traveling brings inspiration unlike anything else. PLUS, I've never been anywhere tropical but this is what's waiting for us on the other side.

I can't wait to explore the island, go hiking, eat lots of delicious food {that someone else makes} and get some quality time with Dan. I'll give a full report of the resorts we're staying at once we return. :)
Well friends, today kicks off wedding weekend for Dan and I! We're a little jet lagged but we are getting so pumped for our a weekend of celebrating with close friends and family. I can hardly believe it's already here!! Whatever you're up to this weekend, join in our celebration by popping some bubbly!

I think champagne is like liquid glitter- it makes everything just a touch more fun! Happy weekending!
Today, my man and I are hopping on a plane and heading to Seattle for the beginning of our wedding weekend! I can hardly believe the day is already here!! Obviously I have all things wedding on the mind right now, so today's Purseday pick is this beautiful ostrich feather bridal clutch that I wish I would have found months ago... Isn't it heavenly?!

Prayers for safe travels... and sanity are appreciated! ;) See you tomorrow for some fun weekend inspiration!
If you saw our stationery post from last Wednesday, you know that we're all hyped up about one of our sweet clients being featured in Martha Stewart Weddings! Yes, it's hard to contain ourselves!!! The issue hit the shelves on Monday so of course we wanted to take this Wedding Wednesday to share it with you! If you have a chance, pop in a store and pick one up- nothing quite compares to turning those beautiful glossy pages!
This letterpress, foil laden invitation suite {shown on the page below} is one of the most unique & modern suites that we've designed. All of the main cards have a tone on tone feature and contrasting but complementary patterns on the backs. We wrapped all of the pieces with metallic gold tissue paper and finished it off with a wax seal of their monogram.
Isn't it to die for? Just like the rest of Molly & Thomas' big day! Take a peek at their feature online too.
Thanks for being so excited with us!! Happy Wednesday!
Welp, it's the last Tuesday Shoesday before my big day and I've been saving this STUNNING pair of emerald & gold heels just for this occasion. If you didn't catch on, these 2 colors are in my wedding color palette... not only did I want to embrace the Pantone of the year, but being that the wedding is in the Emerald City {Seattle}, it was only fitting! Though my wedding shoes are fun, they have NOTHING on these gem covered stilettos:

Yes I have a bit of shoe envy, but I'm every bit in love with the ones I'll be donning come Sunday! :) Happy Shoesday!
Happy Monday! It wouldn't be right to start the week without mentioning the festivities of yesterday. We had a baby shower in celebration of the beautiful momma to be, our very own Emily!! She's been hard at work growing a little baby boy that is due in October. It was so fun to collaborate with the ever-fabulous Sarah True of True Event for this fete and you better believe we'll be sharing more pics in the weeks to come. :) On a side note, I got to see Baby H's nursery for the first time over the weekend and it made everything seem so real!! I couldn't be more excited to meet the little guy in a few short weeks! While I'm sure Emily has her own fabulous ideas for birth announcements {when the time comes}, I ran across this one while searching for her shower inspiration and thought it was too precious not to share:

Isn't this the cutest?! Stay tuned for more details on the shower & OF COURSE the fun invitations :)
We've always loved the classic look of hand calligraphed invitations and are thrilled to see that this trend has been blossoming full force! The recent issue of The Knot magazine featured one of our invitation suites (#2) in their round up of calligraphy laden invitations.
Suite designs can range from all hand calligraphy like some of the samples shown to having only highlighted spots of calligraphy, depending on the style preference. There are increasingly more calligraphy fonts available these days too (such as our sample shown), so if hiring a hand calligrapher doesn't suit your time frame or budget, don't fret!
The Mercedes-Benz fashion week just wrapped up yesterday in New York so naturally we're feeling inspired be more fashionable and try out some new trends. Have you been keeping up with the shows? This weekend's inspiration is devoted to all things fashion.
Get fancy and go run errands! Why?? Well, why not?! You'll feel a little sassier, hold your head up higher and still get a lot done... it's a win/win situation here, ladies!

If you're like me, you likely gravitate to the same set of colors for your wardrobe. This weekend, why not head out shopping with the intention of thinking outside of the box & getting away from your comfort zone?! What color will you try?
{via}
You've been hiding under a rock if you haven't noticed the recent trend with manis and pedis. If you've tried out this trend, what is your favorite combo? Though I never would have thought of this on my own, I admit to be a little intrigued by this mixing of colors and patterns on each nail!! Would you ever rock this?

Have a very fashionable weekend!
Long ago I fell in love with C.Wonder's classic nylon tote... it's such a practical purchase, between being durable, versatile & fashionable! Though I tend to gravitate toward solids {especially for handbags} I usually love the seasonal prints for this bag. This seasons print however, is an earthy camo with a complimentary "hunting" orange. I have mixed emotions... for a multi-season bag, I vote no... however for fall, it's kind of cute?! What do you think? Please weigh in!
Today I am over the moon, excited to share with you this particular Save the Date. We've been holding back this beauty for a really good reason... knowing the the wedding and stationery were going to be featured in Martha Stewart Weddings! Now that the issue is on stands (more details to come!!) is the perfect time to give you a peek at the pretty letterpress booklet that was sent to all guests so they could anticipate the fabulous wedding weekend that Molly & Thomas were planning. Enjoy this for now... and we'll share more about their full feature + invitation suite very soon!!

Summer's end is near and I've got to say that it's been a bit of a challenge to find cute sandals for my upcoming trip {honeymoon!!!} to St. Lucia. Yes, I probably should have started searching in peek season when the sandals were plentiful, but now I'm forced to look in unconventional spots... which is proving to be quite excellent. So, I've recently fallen for these leather sandals from & Other Stories. Case and point: I might have missed this gem!

For the last few weeks I've been searching high and low for the perfect cake platter for the big day... less then 2 weeks to go! Though we've landed on a decision, I'm totally kicking myself for not running into this adorable DIY glitter cake platter from the fabulous blog, Sugar & Cloth:

This weekend is all about getting stuff done and relaxing! After spending last weekend moving and the evenings of this week unpacking, I am excited to have some days to nest, rest and get caught up on some more wedding to-do's. What do you have planned this weekend?
Adding fresh flowers to any space brightens my mood and adds a sweet smell that is OH SO NEEDED to cover up the fresh paint smell in our new place. You better believe that I'm excited to grab some blooms to keep me company for the weekend!

My mind has been stuck on these home made pop tarts ever since I saw them on Pinterest. While I can't wait to break in some of my new kitchen toys, I think this is the perfect first project!
{via}
This weekend I'm devoting time to finalizing my wedding day jewelry. I'm ridiculously excited to score some new bling that can be worn for months & years after the big day... and these baubles from JCrew seem pretty darn promising!

Happy weekending!!
