It’s been 8 months since I got married in the beautiful country of Costa Rica. I thought it would be nice to share with you pictures of pretty details from the wedding.

Kraft Paper Wedding Stationery Items
Happy Friday! I have posted a few of my kraft paper items in the past, but I thought I should show them all together.

All of the below items are available in my Etsy shop here.

Minted Wedding Invitation Challenge: Final Submissions
I have been working hard this Monday morning to submit my final wedding invitation designs to Minted. Here are the results! I am so excited about these designs… please check them out and rate them here. Your rating will help my designs be chosen to be printed and sold at http://www.minted.com.
Using Black and White at Your Wedding
The colors black and white might seem boring for your wedding… but think again! Black and white can be classic and modern. And if you like surface designs, black and white can be a great way to incorporate patterns into your wedding without being too bold and overwhelming. See the black and white inspiration board I posted in the past here.
You can even combine multiple black and white surface designs in your wedding decor….. the black and white colors will keep the designs cohesive. The first image is from Martha Stewart Weddings and the second image is an invitation I designed that can be viewed in my Etsy shop here.
New Invitation: Tandem Bicycle
The tandem bicycle is a popular image being used in invitations. It is especially perfect for bike lovers. I recently designed a new tandem bicycle invitation (2nd image). The first image is a previous design. One is modern, and one in vintage inspired. Both design can be purchased through my Etsy shop here.
Geometric Wedding Inspiration
Geometric prints are hot right now! They are so whimsical, bold, fresh, and modern. Different color combinations can really change the look and feel of the geometric print. Check out this triangle geometric wedding invitation I designed and an inspiration board that helped me make it.
