We hope you had a magnificent weekend! One little valentines day gift that came to us early is just too exciting not to share with you. As you probably know, we just adore Style Me Pretty and there's a good chance you share this sentiment. We were over the moon when we heard that our sweet clients, Sarah and Zack were selected to have their wedding featured on the Massachusetts blog. This wedding was nothing short of spectacular... take a look, we're sure you'll agree!!
Real Weddings: Tijana & Tyler
If you're a regular visitor of Style Me Pretty, you might have caught a glimpse of this wedding that was featured last week. We've been giddy with the anticipation of sharing this beautiful day and the fun invitation suite we created to set the tone!! Tijana and Tyler wanted a vintage Parisian feel and drew inspiration from Coco Chanel. Their stationery conveyed such a fun elegance!
The big day took place at the gorgeous US Grant Hotel- the architecture alone provided beautiful decor, but Tijana and Tyler also planned out loads of details to make sure nothing was forgotten. I have to apologize in advance- there were so many STUNNING pictures to choose from that I not only had a hard time deciding which to share, but this has resulted in a major vendor crush on Laura Ashbrook Photography!!! They captured this wedding so perfectly... I think you'll agree!
Ahhhhh! Are you just swooning?! I just love the flowers by Floral Palette as well! What an amazing day!!
For more on Tijana and Tyler's wedding, check out their feature {and gallery} on Style Me Prettyand take a gander at their wedding videoby Epitome Visions.

Improper Bostonian
IBWeddingCover
All of you locals {Boston & surrounding areas} might have noticed that the recent issue of The Improper Bostonian is the long awaited WEDDING ISSUE! Hooray!! Through contacting local vendors they pulled off an awesome series of inspiration based off of 4 art exhibits taking place around the city. We were thrilled to contribute some of our invitation suites that complemented the respective themes. Yes, it's easy to see how art exhibits can inspire creativity, but never did we imagine that they could inspire a wedding. What a brilliant idea for an art loving couple!!

Well Wed
Happy Wednesday, lovelies!! We definitely did a celebration dance recently when we saw the latest issue of the Cape & the Islands edition of Well Wed Magazine. It's truly a beautiful issue packed full of AMAZING ideas and stunning inspiration!! One of the most exciting parts however, is having one of our recent inspiration shoots included!!! We worked with Tyra Bleek Photography, Becca of Petal Floral Design and the lovely ladies at Boston Bridal Lounge to bring this bright & beautiful "Winter Rainbow" concept to life.
Gorgeous, right?!! We're obsessing over this color palette! Another one of our fun invitation suites was included in the "Minty Fresh" inspiration board. Loving this cool & romantic combination!
These photos only scratch the surface... get your hands on an actual copy by ordering here! Thank you to Well Wed for showing us some LOVE!!! :)

Featured: Junebug Weddings
We're absolutely loving the trend of 1920's design elements that are seeping into the wedding industry. We recently had the opportunity to put our heads together with some other awesome wedding vendors for a styled shoot that is off the charts beautiful, in our opinion! :) Junebug Weddings agreed and we're excited to see the shoot featured on their blog! Get a load of some vintage inspiration, from clothing & makeup to stationery and the band!
And we'd be absolutely crazy to not share these beautiful photos of the invitation suite, shot by Magnolia Pair!

We are so excited to share that Allison & Doug's wedding was just featured on Grey Likes Weddings!!

A Titanic inspired wedding
Few things brighten our day as much as hearing that our paper has been featured in a blog {or magazine} that we absolutely adore. It's a moment of sheer childish giddiness and we want to put it on the metaphorical refrigerator for all to see!! Apparently, this blog is our refrigerator... It was such a joy working with some of our favorite DC based vendors on this Titanic inspired shoot that was recently featured on Elizabeth Anne Designs. Hop over and see the rest of this vintage gorgeousness! :)

Pure Bliss
Wednesday night, we had the pleasure of partying down at the launch of the new magazine Celebrations. With so many beautifully creative minds behind these pages, we knew it couldn't be anything less than perfect, but we had NO idea just how perfect it would be! Now that we have your attention, here are a few of the reasons why we are obsessing:
1. Abby & Will's letterpress invite was a perfect fit for one of their Color Board Features, all that which provide endless inspiration. {Did we mention the advertisements from vendors happen to adorably match each feature?} Love those details!
2. Inspiration shoots like THIS! Industry professionals collaborate to create breathtaking scenes filled with details that raise the bar. Whether it's a mitzvah, dinner party or wedding, there are stunning ideas flowing from page to page to page. We were thrilled to participate in this particular photo shoot at Sweet Berry Farm, alongside one of our favorite photographers Ricky from Public Image Photography.
3. REAL events + color combinations that are to die for! Abby and Andrew's feature is just one of the many that we've been drooling over. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. We continue to ooh & ahh over her TRUE Event details & flowers by Sayles Livingston, all captured by the lovely Leila Brewster Photography.

Southern Living Weddings
There's a lot to love about Southern Living Magazine, after all, the South has such a distinct and irreplaceable charm. We were so excited for Alison and Chris when we heard their wedding was featured in Southern Living Weddings (among others!). From the custom printed buttons & flags to the cotton candy topped champagne, we don't know which detail we're still swooning over. {Perhaps it's the vintage stamps that appear on the invites, programs and cake..?! The list could go on.} Regardless, this couple and their gorgeous wedding will surely continue to inspire us all. We are beyond honored that they entrusted us with their stationery suite, and couldn't be happier with the end result. (Not to mention the attention it's getting ;))
This is certainly cause for celebration... what an exciting way to capture the memories of their big day! To see more on this feature or to check out other weddings, visit Southern Living Weddings online.

The best of the best
The glorious Style Me Pretty sure outdid themselves in their first ever issue of Style Me Pretty Magazine. For a blog that features over 1,000 weddings each year, we were honored {jumping, shreaking and doing some aerobic style moves for good measure} to hear that 2 weddings of beloved Paper Moss clients made the cut for their Best of 2010 E-Glossy! If this little teaser doesn't pull you to look at the whole entire online mag, just know that you are completely totally missing out. But if you think you can live with yourself, we won't judge.

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the folks at SMP for giving us something else to obsess over!

She Said Yes!
The lovely Jacin from She Said Yes {one of our blog-friends} asked us to guest blog for her Fall Inspiration series. The entire series has been fantastic so far- she covers all bases from decor to favors to festive drinks and fall cakes. Check it out, even if you're not planning an Autumn wedding... you'll find fun, unique ideas that might lend an excuse to host an impromptu party!
Paper Moss decided to share some ideas to gracefully side - step the stereotypical fall wedding invitation. There are countless ways to create a seasonally appropriate motif without being confined to a fall color palate or standard fall designs {pumpkins, leaves or scarecrows}. Tracy and Kevin's invitation suite is just one of our examples that we share for our part in the Fall Inspiration series.
See the rest and learn how we arrived at each of the final designs. For the full effect, check out our guest post. Thanks She Said Yes, for letting us share our love for paper and design. Blog to you soon! {hahahah, bad joke?}

You'll have to check out the feature your self on Martha Stewart Weddings! Be sure and click through all the wedding gallery goodness, too. It's worth it... we promise.
