Tie the Knot Bridal Shower Invitations

Suann from simplesong was a guest blogger on Black*Eiffel last week, where she posted this sweet letterpress bridal shower invitation that she recently printed:

This particular invitation was for a wedding shower hosted by Maria from ritzy bee for her sister – so I'm not surprised that these invitations are some of the cutest I've ever seen.  I particularly love the fabric envelope and typewriter font.  Read more over at Black*Eiffel, and you can check out more of Suann's work over at simplesong design.

Autumn Leaves

I love these prints from 12fifteen – even though it's still the middle of summer (and we've got the heat and humidity to prove it), these prints just seem like they should be accompanied by a cool breeze:

12fifteen-blue-leaves-print
12fifteen-brown-leaves-print
12fifteen-birch-trees-print
12fifteen-blue-red-feather-print
Most of these are limited edition prints, so head on over to 12fifteen to check out the full collection.

Grace Edmands Calligraphy

Good morning everyone! I’m so excited to welcome Grace Edmands Calligraphy as my newest sponsor! Grace is a relatively new calligrapher, having just started her calligraphy business a year and a half ago, but her beautiful work speaks for her enormous talent as a calligrapher:

I love Grace’s calligraphy style – it strikes a perfect balance of classic calligraphy and modern whimsy. You can visit Grace’s website to see more examples of her work, learn more about her calligraphy process, and request rate information.

I also just wanted to say “thank you!” to Lynette from Lucky Magazine for mentioning this little ol’ blog on the Lucky Mag website today – I’m honored!  And to any new readers who might have found me on Lucky, welcome!  I hope you’ll take a minute to browse around, particularly through the real invitations gallery and wedding invitation portfolio features, and I look forward to seeing you back here again soon!
