Patricia and Benjamin: French Royalty Damask

I love it when I get to see PAPER CREW stuff in action. Here's a few wedding photos taken by Cary Pennington Photography of our beautiful bride and groom Patricia and Benjamin, who wed back in January in San Diego, California.
Table Cards with names of destinations, escort cards, menus, and programs coordinated well with their decor. I wish that there was a shot of the matching invitation :(
The stunning reception site was at THE PRADO AT BALBOA PARK




A formal 8 page program booklet bound by ribbon:

I love all the detail shots of the wedding. Everything looks so beautiful together. All the stationery start off as just a simple drawing:
And then turned into stunning pieces of decor for your table:

V3 Events and Photo Shenanigans

Today I met with Vanessa and her team from V3 Events and her husband Mark from Photo Shenanigans Photo Booths. I am so excited to be working with Vanessa on upcoming projects and wanted to give them a little shot out! If you are looking for an awesome wedding planner, Vanessa is your gal. I'll let her photos do the talking. Absolutely fabulous. Photography by Anika London Media
Photography by Sarah K Chen
And don't forget the coolest photo booth out there...Photo Shenanigans booth rocks! No ugly box in the middle of your event. Photo Shenanigans out ways all other booths out there.
Paper Crew loves them both! I'm brewing up some collaborations for the near future. I can't wait to share soon.

Austin Unveiled and My Creative Wedding products by PAPER CREW!

I've got a whole list of things to blog about, so I'm a little late posting this.
But I'm really excited and proud to say that we were featured on STYLE UNVEILED - AUSTIN's BLOG.
Kristy and Charles had such a wonderful theme and with rich chocolate brown and apple green accents in their wedding invitation. The rest of the stationery coordinated with the invitation and as you can see, everything turned out just lovely. Especially when photographed by THE NICHOLS, the wife and husband photography team based in Austin, Texas.
Everything looks great together. From the menu to the table tent numbers and reserved bridal tables.
The programs were staggered pages mounted on the apple green and tied with a rich satin brown ribbon. Just gorgeous.

And what would be more complete at a wedding in Texas without a cow cake!
I love it!
