Now check out their invitation suite below! When Carrie Beth first came to me I knew she would want something cute and fun to match her and Brent’s personalities and of course she did not disappoint me! We worked together and came up with a great concept that is both playful, yet elegant. I mean, who could NOT love cute little love birds??<br /><br />To step it up a notch we added a polka-dot belly band that would hold all of the pieces together in the brown kraft envelope. We also created a return address label and a matching rehearsal dinner invitation to complete the suite. <br /><br />I am so excited for Carrie Beth and Brent’s wedding in a few weeks. They are truly a beautiful couple and I am so happy for them!!! <br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN56TpuzcozsTXwXAtE7fkz02ERQOz0HfjFOS58wjpL7WWyzexdiJQObuyNBC9KYueR0m2Muswf-PVZuWnhPDWVnlik-u57H47qKCuB75r9iEDI2XnD4-WvoA2bpspywLRw5MBSQz2u6Nt/s1600/DSCN0386.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN56TpuzcozsTXwXAtE7fkz02ERQOz0HfjFOS58wjpL7WWyzexdiJQObuyNBC9KYueR0m2Muswf-PVZuWnhPDWVnlik-u57H47qKCuB75r9iEDI2XnD4-WvoA2bpspywLRw5MBSQz2u6Nt/s400/DSCN0386.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587747073119139762" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDfSZFNJth6Z06ejPzIWIYW5ZLQi4hrvXmUHpsVGlrZLdtbG7ecwxKfT0H71FtDWpkI20b6QrA9XTj-228pKaiXYCQd05jJlyEkkvkEylzY18rXEZF3wWkIU_-FhB0kZhy5LNvXcCKUYoF/s1600/DSCN0390.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDfSZFNJth6Z06ejPzIWIYW5ZLQi4hrvXmUHpsVGlrZLdtbG7ecwxKfT0H71FtDWpkI20b6QrA9XTj-228pKaiXYCQd05jJlyEkkvkEylzY18rXEZF3wWkIU_-FhB0kZhy5LNvXcCKUYoF/s400/DSCN0390.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587747075385303122" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyMxOEFfNu6bThJqSISGH28c8Mtn1UXe28eBXKoKrfDA9lh0SfSKm8KWzdd_upGmm0eQeP77BeBDL7inbAAGqwxL1vfrr12ZgfiWXMVYWJOOHjD-uHJUwKnc4xCklOANQu__vjElKfWT2G/s1600/CB.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 336px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyMxOEFfNu6bThJqSISGH28c8Mtn1UXe28eBXKoKrfDA9lh0SfSKm8KWzdd_upGmm0eQeP77BeBDL7inbAAGqwxL1vfrr12ZgfiWXMVYWJOOHjD-uHJUwKnc4xCklOANQu__vjElKfWT2G/s400/CB.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587747077465144418" /></a>Sheilahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09241099737154307279noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3520410522049751629.post-23704927255243291462011-03-08T09:18:00.007-05:002011-03-08T09:25:43.535-05:00Fabulous Etsy Find: Elegant Edible DesignsThese awesome edible decorations had me thinking all afternoon, what kind of party should I throw just to use these??

Jeff and I took our engagement photos in a few spots around the Atlanta area and one of my bridesmaids told me about a great mural for the <a href="http://kingofpops.net/">King of Pops</a>... which if you are not an Atlanta native you may not have heard of him. I know a few people have been asking if Jeff was the "King of Pop" but I assure you, he is not. :)<br /><br />Jeff and I loved the colors in the mural and thought it would be great to take photos in front of it, and seeing that we are having our wedding in the dead heat of summer the popsicle theme would be perfect! Jeff and I are also not into the mushy romantic stuff so we definitely wanted photos that would show our personalities. We wanted FUN, FUN, FUN! We also added a little more of Jeff's personality into his clothing... if you know Jeff you would know that he is a loyal Adidas fan so of course we also had to incorporate that! <br /><br />In addition to our postcard we also created little mini magnets with our popsicle logo, our wedding date and our wedding website address. I really love the traditional Save The Date magnet but I wanted something a little bit smaller and one of my <a href="http://sheilamaridesign.blogspot.com/2010/09/custom-wedding-invitations.html">bridal clients</a> actually gave me the idea to use these cute little magnets.<br /><br />To also recognize our wedding party we also sent each member a personalized luggage tag. So I better see these tags on your bags!! :) <br /><br />Jeff and I are definitely excited for our big (hot) day in July! The official countdown has begun!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVWwh1eivdUblknMc1SAeCmuZc8uF7m6DpwrRZCuly-r9LnnHeTA6DSASo3pTKS5NZQDX3REV8sbIz_kR198efDMMAaH6hlehftCRqkU6_yIjnzIjF1gkXLQU8odgsT6CThOKaKOr_fPWn/s1600/SMD_SaveTheDateBlog.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 272px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVWwh1eivdUblknMc1SAeCmuZc8uF7m6DpwrRZCuly-r9LnnHeTA6DSASo3pTKS5NZQDX3REV8sbIz_kR198efDMMAaH6hlehftCRqkU6_yIjnzIjF1gkXLQU8odgsT6CThOKaKOr_fPWn/s400/SMD_SaveTheDateBlog.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576539370958561970" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://andrewthomaslee.com/blog/">Photography by: Andrew Thomas Lee</a>Sheilahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09241099737154307279noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3520410522049751629.post-80676395765205073532011-02-03T10:43:00.007-05:002011-02-03T10:49:23.191-05:00Garden Bon Bon Favors<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.213836971.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 322px;" src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.213836971.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />I just ran into this Etsy shop that I thought was incredibly awesome.

I designed her a "wish card" for baby Micah's upcoming arrival, where each guest fills out each "wish" they would like for Micah.

That's when she came to me with a great idea that needed executing! Her and Brent are getting married in Atlanta, Georgia and wanted to somehow tie Atlanta's skyline with images that portrayed the urban feel for the city. But at the same time they wanted it to be super modern and chic!<br /><br />Inspiration:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrTtXFK6ijZyjxX48hUuL8vy3ZrPNmKmzgHkiZ4_A0-yKUujt25o49JdLgQSLwHo07840qssvTnwzuRSNrLwFvS6nRBdX8KXqFWZhoHJEeoH-chRcZsqatFW6UVbwRDhukcbmxDhjRT5ZR/s1600/inspiration.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 261px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrTtXFK6ijZyjxX48hUuL8vy3ZrPNmKmzgHkiZ4_A0-yKUujt25o49JdLgQSLwHo07840qssvTnwzuRSNrLwFvS6nRBdX8KXqFWZhoHJEeoH-chRcZsqatFW6UVbwRDhukcbmxDhjRT5ZR/s320/inspiration.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532707290374740178" /></a><br /><br />I was able to tie in all of their inspiration elements into one cohesive design that also shows their fun loving personalities! <br /><br />Their Finished Post Card:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtXlfQdWv_GN3pEOsDg_3C1hC50fpxXj2b7u5BJecb-bf5eBkcrsIcUF_X3lI2JhbDLNjcv04Y1Tv7imkvxe5BTQDAPO8Dmnj_00Uja1-sccFidhIpsiO-OtX194qkYijMTXGtAsc-09FQ/s1600/CBD_SaveTheDate_Front.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 230px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtXlfQdWv_GN3pEOsDg_3C1hC50fpxXj2b7u5BJecb-bf5eBkcrsIcUF_X3lI2JhbDLNjcv04Y1Tv7imkvxe5BTQDAPO8Dmnj_00Uja1-sccFidhIpsiO-OtX194qkYijMTXGtAsc-09FQ/s320/CBD_SaveTheDate_Front.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532707293231393234" /></a>Sheilahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09241099737154307279noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3520410522049751629.post-70233112532080180352010-10-06T16:18:00.007-04:002010-10-06T16:37:10.226-04:00Invitations by Ajalon - Letterpress Special!So you may have noticed that I am a sucker for all things letterpress lately and I would probably create my own letter-pressed pieces if it didn't require such a massive piece of metal machinery to create them! :) Luckily there are a lot of really great print shops available online to choose from. Lucky for you, I have found a sweet deal being offered at <a href="http://invitationsbyajalon.com/specials.html">Ajalon Printing</a> for 100 invitations and RSVP post cards for under $500! This is a pretty good deal considering letterpress invitations could run up to $650 plus.<br /><br />They have a wide selection of designs to choose from and the best part is you can send them your own designs for no additional charge! Don't see anything you like? Let me know! SMD can definitely help you come up with the perfect design. :)<br /><br />My personal picks:<br /><center><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj86KIwIQHjzugLMI2AJc9-r-kuHfvmkCUg0nKSlhH28JJQ8YbHPfzHSt0BB_Q1DfxvVTuB0MpK9zmx1oF1EOJiPiNoPnU3e98pZ4J73GZV-I7VvI90YlmoRsKdj3za5bSucItrFwcACLZ_/s1600/specials-lalita1-lg.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj86KIwIQHjzugLMI2AJc9-r-kuHfvmkCUg0nKSlhH28JJQ8YbHPfzHSt0BB_Q1DfxvVTuB0MpK9zmx1oF1EOJiPiNoPnU3e98pZ4J73GZV-I7VvI90YlmoRsKdj3za5bSucItrFwcACLZ_/s320/specials-lalita1-lg.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525031718703247746" /></a>Lalita<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPo2MvW9vT_2ElGLXJGez5OTcr8KDUrS5JzV3c0Kk7xvlKNW4QUE_z6IKMI2_8Thbaj0TLPcEGZgfaBN4Yz7OxLDP9JC4qkQNMvLY7TAVtpuLZR4dfaljV4gvVsjBgb4lw-GpB8lbVxil7/s1600/beginnings-lg-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPo2MvW9vT_2ElGLXJGez5OTcr8KDUrS5JzV3c0Kk7xvlKNW4QUE_z6IKMI2_8Thbaj0TLPcEGZgfaBN4Yz7OxLDP9JC4qkQNMvLY7TAVtpuLZR4dfaljV4gvVsjBgb4lw-GpB8lbVxil7/s320/beginnings-lg-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525031716293190258" /></a>Beginnings<br /></center><br /><br />On a side note- I will be going down to Islamorada, Florida this weekend for a destination beach wedding for my friend Lauren.

Her concept was cute and simple, which is what I love about how the invitations came out! She wanted simple character illustrations that would represent her and her groom. Along with the characters, I also designed a custom logo of two birds sitting on a branch that she was able to use on her programs and wedding signs.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Gloria and Cole's Invitation Suite:</span> Invitation Card with Information Insert that is then wrapped with a belly band.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvw3EC1dTIM0eVXQxU85KQh5Ub-ARykox9_cW3izLYe10pv2Tp18Nu8n-lqpDLxj9LhJi_14zGGwTPIOgS1oHJ06u_Oak6yL1AtSqiZ1XAwBOykvb88EjpvaORgGRL8OpDoN38wancG05A/s1600/DSCN0115.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 226px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvw3EC1dTIM0eVXQxU85KQh5Ub-ARykox9_cW3izLYe10pv2Tp18Nu8n-lqpDLxj9LhJi_14zGGwTPIOgS1oHJ06u_Oak6yL1AtSqiZ1XAwBOykvb88EjpvaORgGRL8OpDoN38wancG05A/s320/DSCN0115.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520933998133172466" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Custom Map on back of Information Insert:</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixuWteJEEZGdiDsizaY3NqWfN8c30RQOokyJzJ1M-2awAAPKe9N9hNJcr_b75BbiS5UkaATe3JyoqvZD-1a4tBLmTf2EL7PNksIDCrKe2XAwJtAYNqiryPL9W1V349uPDBwc_78Mt5nA7z/s1600/DSCN0122.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixuWteJEEZGdiDsizaY3NqWfN8c30RQOokyJzJ1M-2awAAPKe9N9hNJcr_b75BbiS5UkaATe3JyoqvZD-1a4tBLmTf2EL7PNksIDCrKe2XAwJtAYNqiryPL9W1V349uPDBwc_78Mt5nA7z/s320/DSCN0122.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520936232912914626" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Custom Logo</span>: Two birds sitting in a tree....
