A Birth Announcement.

A big old thank you to Andres Montano (also the graphic designer behind this website) for creating our sweet little birth announcement for Miss Lucca Valentine.  Andres has created some amazing paper goods for our clients that we can't wait to share, too...

*I had to pop some gold sequins into all the envelopes to make the mail messing to open for all the recepients!

Invitation Infatuation.

Loving this gorgeous invitation suite.  The colors are sooooo perfectly pretty and we always love a cute little envelope liner.  How we skipped over these papergoods while browsing Martha Stewart's Summer 2010 mag is beyond us....but we're sure glad we spotted them online.  The bride's sister is the genius behind these goodies and we were so happy to find out that she has an etsy shop!

Dinner Time.

We heart personal touches at any affair, be it a wedding or an intimate dinner party.  One of our fave touches are individual menus.  It's so much fun to get a sneak peek of the upcoming meal on an adorable paper menu.  We are truly loving this cute menu with hand drawings of frogs and florals.

Another personal touch that we find enduring are individual place cards.  Especially at a small dinner, it's a sweet way to show your guest's their seat.  Using plants is a unique idea and creates a great little parting gift for your guest.

Paper, Papier, Papel.

Much like our love of ribbon, tissue paper is a cheap way to make a big impression.  When we spied the use of tissue paper all over Martha Stewart's pop-up wedding, we were thrilled.  Who knew that such an inexpensive element could completely transform a little place into a spectacular wedding venue.

We're also quite smitten with papel picados...in every color of the rainbow.

A boutonniere and a bouquet made of paper, are DIY projects with major impact.

Loving this idea of taking the paper outdoors.  It's unexpected and ohhhh so cute.  We definitely think this canopy exudes a dreamy overall effect.

And of course, the infamous Martha Stewart pom poms.  They're used everywhere...from weddings, to birthday parties, bridal showers...the list goes on.  We can't help but still be in love with them.
