Whimsical Maps

2008-03-06T22:22:00.000-08:00

These hand drawn maps are custom designed by Laura Hooper at Laura Hooper Calligraphy. She sent the images to me in black and white and I then colored them in digitally. Look at how the outlining in both black and brown give such a different feel to each. I love working on these maps, they are so unique. Her maps can be designed specifically to suit your needs, whether it be a map for your business location to add to your website or a big social event such as a wedding. I love her illustrations, and her calligraphy is amazing too!

Married in Maui

2008-03-09T22:38:00.000-07:00

The colors for these wedding invitations I helped create for Boramy and Ronald were inspired from one of the Bride to Be's favorite flowers, green cymbidium orchids. These invites give a perfect 'sneak peak' of what their guests at their upcoming April, Maui Wedding can expect.

Save the Dates

2008-03-10T00:55:00.001-07:00

These Save the Dates I created for Nicole and Jason were a fun way to announce their upcoming nuptials. We decided to keep these more on the fun and casual side since the wedding invitations are going to have a formal, fairytale theme. Nicole sent me a CD with their engagement photos and let me take care of the rest.

Orange County Groundbreaking

2008-03-16T20:17:00.001-07:00

This invitation was created to welcome guests to Kaiser Permanente's Groundbreaking Ceremony and Luncheon. The orange backing is perfect since the event took place in beautiful Orange County.

Plum and Truffle

2008-03-16T21:05:00.001-07:00

I love this plum and truffle colored invitation I created for Rachel and Robert's Georgia wedding. I especially love the font style and it's soft brown color.

Joyce and Ben

2008-03-18T00:13:00.001-07:00

I'm finally filling in the blanks. Joyce and Ben helped me to design these invitations for their wedding. I love the simplicity of their monogram on the outer cover of the invitation. Their wedding is going to be very special, as it is the very same day as Joyce's grandmother's 90th birthday. Congratulations and best wishes!

29? Again?

2008-03-27T22:16:00.000-07:00

Thank you Laura at Laura Hooper Calligraphy for the hand-penned calligraphy on my birthday invites! Her calligraphy took these pretty invitations a step further and made them gorgeous. I know when I send them there will be oohs...and aaahs...

"Summer in Bloom"

2008-04-13T22:29:00.000-07:00

I'm so excited about being recently featured in Bride and Bloom's summer 08' issue. With help from the amazing calligrapher Laura Hooper our work was featured alongside some of today's hottest invitation designers.

Silk Chocolate

2008-06-20T03:50:00.000-07:00

These beautiful chocolate invitations were made especially to coordinate with the accompanying Thai silk boxes. What a beautiful presentation! The silk boxes are 100% Thai silk and are available in over 60 rich colors to fit the palette of any event. They can be custom made with pockets to hold enclosure cards.
