We had a great time working with Erika and Liz! From the moment we met them, their enthusiasm and excitement was energetic, and we knew this was going to be a fantastic wedding!
From the moment guests arrived at the Davis Island Garden Club, they were introduced to the gorgeous atmosphere and an amazing view of Tampa Bay. While enjoying an array of light hors d’oeuvres and mango mojitos, guests could take their time finding their escort cards hanging from soft, ivory ribbon on a gorgeous escort card tree designed by The Bride’s Bouquet.

Once inside, guests found their seats at tables set up “family-style” and decorated with centerpieces of peonies, hydrangeas and curly willow atop blue pin tuck linens. Rather than the standard numbering of tables, Erika and Liz decided to name their tables “love” with each table featuring a different language. Soooo perfect! At each place setting, guests could review the dinner menu while snacking on fun rock salt candy in the colors of the day!

We are so thankful for all of the wonderful clients and vendors we get to work with everyday, and we’re equally excited to share some pictures from a recent event planned by one of these fabulous vendors: Samara Anderson with Voila Events + Design.
We’ve known Samara for almost 2 years, and have always enjoyed each opportunity to design stationery for her events. Samara has an eye for creative detail, and she is always open for new, fresh ideas for her clients and events. It seems every idea we bring to her is welcomed with a huge smile and a “go for it”’ cheer!
Earlier this year, we had the opportunity to create custom “barnyard brunch” invitations for one of her Nashville brides, along with favor tags and menu cards. The custom invitation featured a mix of rustic (twine, hatch-show print) and vintage (lace) elements to introduce the venue and theme.
Barnyard Brunch Vintage Chic Custom Invitation
Most recently, we designed invitations and event stationery for a Rehearsal Dinner with a nautical chic theme that fit perfectly with the venue, The St. Petersburg Yacht Club.
First, we created custom nautical invitations that introduced guests to the theme with a custom “monogram” that was actually the nautical flag that represents the bride and groom’s first initials. Then, we added hand-tied miniature rope knots to each invitation to add that extra touch of creativity.
Custom Nautical Invitation
For the celebration, we created custom escort flags to not only help guests find their tables but also to indicate their menu choice to the staff at the Yacht Club! Each flag indicated a choice of steak, chicken or vegetarian meal by depicting the nautical alphabet flag for the letters S, C and V. Above each flag, Samara attached a pennant with the name of the guest and their table number.
Nautical Escort Card Flags
Accordingly, the guests found their table numbers depicted by the nautical flag that represents the correlating number. No detail went uncovered!
Samara maintained the chic feel by placing hydrangea in mason jars and by then setting them around a candle lit lantern. Each table had a different lantern, and nautical rope was used to tie around each mason jar opening.
Nautical Lantern and Hydrangea Centerpiece
The groom and his family who hosted this event are from Lincoln, Nebraska. Small jars of blueberry jam were adorned with custom favor tags that read “Made with love in Lincoln, Nebraska,” and the jars were at each place setting for the guests to take home. Also at each place setting was a napkin tied with a nautical rope “napkin ring”!

We had a great time, as usual, working with Samara, and we’re looking forward to the next project…stay tuned for the pictures!!!

We’ve had so many requests and compliments on this invitation design from January ‘08, that we’ve decided to feature it in it’s very own post! And doing so sparked a new idea…Flashback Fridays! One Friday in every month, we’re going to try and post a popular invitation design from years past.
Mary was looking for a modern and contemporary, yet tropical design, that paired well with her overall color palette and theme. Her wedding was held on the shores of Pass-a-Grille Beach amid an intimate circle of family and friends, and we worked together to find that “happy medium” between the two styles she wanted to portray. We also created a custom monogram that was used throughout her wedding on both her programs and favor tags…and even by her cake decorator as a motif on her cake!
The collage below showcases some of our favorite pics of Mary and Justin’s Wedding, and you can also click here to see the entire invitation set, and another favor box option.
