Real Paper Love | Super Bowl Reception

On a whirlwind, an order was placed for our football ticket invitations at our Etsy store .  She needed 200 invitations for a Super Bowl Wedding Reception.  The order was placed 3 days before Christmas and she needed them ASAP.  Needless to say, I was under an enormous amount of pressure, but WE DID IT!  And [...]

Real Paper Love | Holiday Goodness

I won’t be blogging on Thursday or Friday, for obvious reasons… it’s Christmas and I do hope that you all have a joyous one.  So in the name of all that is good and holy during this holiday season, I’d like to share a couple of holiday cards that we created for our clients recently.  All [...]

Eco-Beautiful Wedding Photo Shoot- Part 2

We created an eco-chic vintage garden wedding with chunky crystal glasses, silver chargers, custom stationery, fabulous gardenia pin corsages, organic vanilla-infused sugar, ivory satin napkins, all on a beautiful tuscany colored tablecloth.

How green is this design?  The linens and flatware were rented, ensuring that these items would definitely be used again.  All the silverware and stemware [...]

Eco-Beautiful Weddings Photo Shoot- Part 1

I know I’m late to the party, but I do bring some goodies!  Our appearance in Eco-Beautiful Weddings e-zine brought on some unexpected business.  Take that and our commitments to all the holiday parties, madness, and cheer- and you’ve got one over-extended Ati.  And it feels great!  So as promised, I wanted to share the pictures [...]

Real Paper Love: Chargers Baby

I’ve been working on a baby shower invitation for a close friend of mine and I had to post it on my site before I could give details here.  They’ve already gone out, so I’m sure she’ll be okay if I post them here and discuss the design process.

June- friend and client- and her husband are [...]

Inspiration Board: Hip-Hop Wedding

I went through pictures that I had taken during a stroll down Haight Street in San Francisco and I realized that a true Hip-Hop wedding theme must be executed.  I have yet to find a client who loves hip-hop culture enough to surround their entire theme around it.  If I could do it all over again- [...]
