Sophie Cuvelier is a fabulous french artist we came across via frolic, who creates amazing garlands out of hand-dyed paper, feathers, and bits.  We love the colors, the whimsy and imperfect charm.  Adorable to hang in a playroom and how amazing would these look strung up in great quantities at a wedding? We are très inspired!

We are thrilled to announce the arrival of two new Hello!Lucky babies, both miraculously born on September 26 (which also happened to be Sabrina’s wedding anniversary)!

The darling and lovely Miss Olivia O’Donnell (and her adorable birth announcement)…

and the cute-as-a-button Mr. Lucas Tan…

And congratulations to Jennifer and Ryan and Celine and Tang, the proud parents! Hello, lucky babies!!

We were so excited to see our Julia Rothman Chandelier gift wrap being used for wallpaper on Design*Sponge today.  So cute! The DIY bookend wall bracket project from the folks over at Curiousity Shoppe is pretty ingenious as well. Read the full post here.

Chandelier wrap is available for purchase on our website. Click here for more information.

The name really says it all; if “Fourteen People, Some Ink and a Handful of Vintage Presses” wasn’t such a mouthful we may be tempted to take a leaf from their book!

We learned of these two talented floral artists from a client who staged her wedding in the sculpture galley at Woburn Abbey and who subsequently sang their praises. Their service both on and in the run-up to the day were exemplary and a look at their website indeed bears testament to he beautiful work that they produce.

The way they coordinated the flowers with delicate cake design taken from antique engravings is just sheer genius!

The beautiful hand-tied bouquet of roses and peonies in soft pastel tones would be the perfect choice for a bride wanting a classic, traditional look but the girls are equally competent at creating understated, modern elegance as seen in the striking bouquet of green Calla lilies or gorgeous orchid buttonhole(below).

The two girls are based in Arlesey, Bedfordshire SG15 6SW and can be contacted via e-mail: info@two-girls-and-some-flowers.co.uk or Telephone: Julia: 07732 403 072 or Jenny: 07952 649 829

We are always on the hunt for unique and meaningful wedding gifts. Don’t get us wrong, that Kitchen-Aid mixer is sure to please, but being able to truly personalize a gift, is something that the couple will always remember.  We love the idea behind Jessica Rust’s personalized dinnerware. She offers mugs, plates, platters and bowls in a variety of different designs. Each piece has the ability to be personalized with a couples initials and wedding date. So sweet! For more information, visit her website here.

Thanks to Audrey of Urbanic Paper Boutique for sharing these adorable photos of her friends’ wedding.  The couple coordinated their invitations with Audrey and chose our Classic Cowboy letterpress wedding invitation.  We love this invitation (no bias here, of course) and were especially pleased with the eye catching color palette they settled on.

The invitation, in pool and lucky red inks, makes such a refreshingly cheery and bold statement for what is sure to be a festive day.

The crisp color palette was evident in the the rest of the the thoughtfully planned details on the wedding day.  The cool blue of the Pacific Ocean provides such a lovely backdrop for the ceremony though we have to say that the popcorn bag seating cards take the cake!

Such a quaint, fun and creative touch…details like these make for such a warm and memorable celebration.  For more firsthand info about this wedding and others, please visit Audrey’s blog.

Laser cutting - why are you so cool? We are constantly impressed with the new and ingenious ways that laser cutting is being used these days. Refill Seven is an Australian skateboard company whose limited edition skateboard decks exemplify the intricate fine detail that’s possible with this technique. They even have some limited edition etched posters for sale. Click here to see photos.

Via {this is glamorous} - thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks to Jeannie Savage of Details Details Wedding and Event Planning and Ira Lippke Studios for sharing these stunning photos of Sandy and Harry’s wedding this past August in Laguna Beach.  Sandy selected our Cherry Blossom design for her save the date cards and wedding invitations opting for bold and vibrant colors and modern typsestyles.

The creative juices really started flowing when it came to the day of stationery. When Jeannie wondered if the seating cards could be in the exact shape of the blossoms on the invitations, our answer was an enthusiastic yes!

Diecut blossoms on colorful cardstock were artfully arranged on branches and featured calligraphy by Michele Papineau of Papineau Calligraphy.

Round menus fit perfectly into chargers and scallop labels reading “love sweet love” adorned take home candy bags.   Sandy and Harry also provided their guests with to-go boxes of comfort food liked grilled cheese sandwiches and burgers to satisfy their late night cravings.  A much appreciated touch, we’re sure!

Love the elegantly simple cake punctuated with blossoms and bands of bright green and dramatically lit lounge area at the reception.

Such a beautiful wedding with so many thoughtful touches (cue gorgeous sunset!)…

Thanks to Ritzy Bee for bringing our attention to these gorgeous photos of Aleishall & Matthew’s wedding by photographer Mel Barrow. When we met Aleishall, she was running Olive & Peach, a delicious food site she had co-founded with long-time friend Katie Lee Joel, so it was natural that food should feature in their wedding invitation design. We created this pen-and-ink illustration of two pears, complemented by Aleishall’s own gorgeous hand lettering, and letterpress printed it on coaster board.

Mel captured these gorgeous photos of their nuptials in Golden Gate Park.

Love these romantic peony flower arrangements, and the sweet little hand-made ring box below!

The intimate ceremony was followed by dinner at Greens Restaurant, a mecca for organic, eco-conscious cuisine in San Francisco. See more photos here
