Purple is a wedding color that works well no matter what season your ceremony takes place in. It’s equal parts regal, glamorous, and classic.

What are/were your wedding colors?

What happens when you want the look of calligraphy for your envelope addressing but don’t have the time or budget for a calligrapher? Hand addressed calligraphy is always going to give you the most organic, tactile results, but there are times when it’s just not possible. For these occasions, I have put together guest address printing options that are made from digitized versions of real hand-written calligraphy scripts. Now you can have the vibe of something hand-written with the faster turnaround and lower cost of something printed. Options are available on the website (link in bio)!

A few of our original wax seal designs. When I see a bunch of wax seals together like this, I always wish they were candy.

Can you guess what the most popular wedding color is? If you guessed blue, you're right! More specifically, navy blue shows up in almost 40% of all wedding color combinations. What do you think the other most popular wedding colors are?

I’m very proud of this rose design for these wax stamps. It took me many tries before I had a rose illustration I felt was worthy of wax. Shown here in white in our extra large 1.5” size with a triple wrapped purple velvet ribbon.

Let’s talk about Toile! This is a design motif that has been popular since the mid 18th century, and generally refers to a complex, nature-inspired and pastoral patterns repeated on fabric. I’ve been attracted to toile motifs since I was a teen, and when I was creating my wedding collections, I absolutely had to design a toile motif. This one took quite a while to perfect. The biggest challenge was making the composition feel modern while retaining the classic toile aesthetic. I think the end result looks airy and timeless.

Another interesting fact: although toile was popularized by France and is, in fact, a french word, the concept actually originated in Ireland!

Probably my favorite color combination at the moment.
