I know I am not the only one out there who is addicted to Pinterest! I just started "pinning" and I am heading full speed into being a full blown Pinterest addict.

I was a little intimidated by it at first.... so many pretty photos and boards, it was a bit overwhelming! But I have finally gotten the hang of it, so let's start pinning! :)

I have been following the wedding inspiration bible AKA StyleMePretty.com for years! I know I am not alone when I say that I have literally gotten lost on this blog for HOURS at a time. Their beautiful inspirational photos and awesome wedding ideas just hit the spot for me....

That is why it makes me sooooo freakin' happy to be featured on Style Me Pretty Georgia! Not only do I draw a lot of inspiration while browsing StyleMePretty.com for my clients but it was also a huge inspiration when designing for my own wedding. It also makes me happy to showcase all of the talented vendors that were so amazing to work with!

Wow, it's been a busy past few months! Not only have I been creating custom designs for all my Brides but I also had my own wedding to plan! Yes, I am back blogging as a married woman! Now that the wedding season is winding down, and I am no longer planning a wedding, I feel like I can finally breathe again. I'm sure all the newlyweds out there know this same feeling. :)

Carrie Beth and Brent's Love Bird Invitations

2011-03-24T16:31:00.002-04:00

Remember Carrie Beth and Brent’s Save The date? Cool, right? 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??

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.

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!!!

Fabulous Etsy Find: Elegant Edible Designs

2011-03-08T09:18:00.007-05:00

These awesome edible decorations had me thinking all afternoon, what kind of party should I throw just to use these?? Great for bridal showers or baby showers these edible decorations are sure to have your guest's talking! Place them on cakes, cupcakes, cake pops or on wine glasses.

These little cuties are made from rice paper and they are easy to adhere, just dab a little bit of corn syrup and stick.

So what kind of party should I throw with these??

Sheila Mari Design's Personal Save The Date Suite

2011-02-22T10:25:00.012-05:00

Jeff and I got engaged last Fall and we just sent our Save The Date's a few weeks ago so I am finally able to share them with you! 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 King of Pops... 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. :)

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!

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 bridal clients actually gave me the idea to use these cute little magnets.

To also recognize our wedding party we also sent each member a personalized luggage tag. So I better see these tags on your bags!! :)

Jeff and I are definitely excited for our big (hot) day in July! The official countdown has begun!

2011-02-03T10:43:00.007-05:00

I just ran into this Etsy shop that I thought was incredibly awesome. No, these are not your typically chocolate party favors, but are plantable seeds! So cute and original, perfect for an eco-friendly wedding.

Baby Wishes for Micah

2011-01-28T10:29:00.004-05:00

I am so happy that I had the opportunity to be a part of Michelle's baby shower, even if I only did just create her the cutest note cards ever! I designed her a "wish card" for baby Micah's upcoming arrival, where each guest fills out each "wish" they would like for Micah. Such a cute idea and an amazing keepsake that Micah can read when he gets older.

Now get out of that belly!! ;)

Orange & Grey Modern Wedding Invitations

2011-01-10T10:29:00.007-05:00

Melissa and Marc got married this past November in Orlando, Florida and Melissa came to me last fall to design her and Marc's wedding invitations. They wanted a modern design and they wanted to incorporate their wedding colors, orange and grey. We went with a polka dot design that paired well with the handwritten script font for a contemporary feel.

Congratulations, newlyweds!

Custom Thank You Card for Gloria & Cole

2010-11-15T11:47:00.004-05:00

Remember Gloria & Cole's adorable wedding invitations? Well, I just designed their matching Thank You card to finish out their custom wedding stationary. Designing Thank You cards for my brides can be so bittersweet... sweet because all of the hard work is done but sad that I don't get to work with my bride anymore, Gloria included. :(

Maybe baby announcements next?!?! What do you think, Gloria? Haha ;)

Custom Save The Dates!

2010-10-27T08:48:00.004-04:00

Carrie Beth had an inspiration board of images she liked for her Save The Dates, but she wasn't quite sure how to tie everything together. 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!

Inspiration:

I was able to tie in all of their inspiration elements into one cohesive design that also shows their fun loving personalities!

Invitations by Ajalon - Letterpress Special!

2010-10-06T16:18:00.007-04:00

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 Ajalon Printing 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.

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. :)

My personal picks:

Lalita

Beginnings

On a side note- I will be going down to Islamorada, Florida this weekend for a destination beach wedding for my friend Lauren. Remember her wedding website I created for her? Probably not so click here for a refresh. Can't wait to see what she has in store...

And one last photo just because it makes me happy...

Custom Wedding Invitations

2010-09-25T15:17:00.005-04:00

Gloria and her fiancé, Cole are getting married next Saturday and she came to me in need of wedding invitations. 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.

Gloria and Cole's Invitation Suite: Invitation Card with Information Insert that is then wrapped with a belly band.

Custom Map on back of Information Insert:

Custom Logo: Two birds sitting in a tree.... K-I-S-S-I-N-G ;)

To get more use out of their cutest little characters, I also helped them create little magnets for their party favors. Gloria was able to find little yellow organza bags that will be used to hold these 3 adorable little magnets for her guests. I was not able to take a photo of it but I am telling you that they are just the cutest little things!

Gloria found her magnet and button favor vendor on Etsy, check out her Etsy store called MINEPRESS for more cute ideas!

Plantable Wedding Invitations

2010-09-14T14:04:00.007-04:00

I recently got a wedding invitation in the mail that was 100% plantable. Yes, plantable! How cool is that? You know I had to do a little investigating and was able to find a few print studios who specialize in this new form of paper invitation. Now you can plant, grow and enjoy your invitations all over again in its new form!

This is great for eco conscious couples who want to have give back to the planet. Check out these sites for more information:

Custom Wedding Monograms

2010-08-20T16:34:00.007-04:00

Just wanted to share a few more wedding monograms I’ve created for a few more wonderful brides. :)

Maria & Ben
Maria and Ben getting marred in Sarasota, Florida next year and their reception will be in a botanical garden. For their logo, she and Ben wanted something that would fit in with the reception venue. Because they are using calla lilies she wanted to show case the flower in the design.

Shelley and William
Shelley and William had an elegant traditional wedding this fall and her colors are brown and orange. They wanted something elegant that would match the theme and colors of their wedding.

Our inspiration:

A Perfect Pair - Fuchsia & Navy

2010-08-09T09:59:00.004-04:00

One of my invitation suites has made it into it's first Treasury on Etsy! Not familiar with Treasuries? Treasuries are Etsy's ever-changing, member-curated shopping gallery to help cunsumers find coordinates for specific colors they are looking for.

Custom Thank You Cards

2010-06-19T16:03:00.003-04:00

A few months ago I attended the Su'e wedding (I blogged about it here) and designed some wine labels for the couple. They have also asked me to design them a custom Thank You card using the photography from their wedding. I don't think they could have taken a more perfect photo for their design concept! Check it out below:

Custom Wedding Website - Destination Weddings

2010-05-18T20:48:00.006-04:00

A few months ago Lauren and Brian came to me wanting a unique website that showcased their personalities as well as the theme of their wedding, "Where the Forest Meets the Sea". They are getting married in the Florida Keys (Islamorada) but didn't want your typical "beach" theme destination wedding. Lauren wanted an "earthy and organic" feel using elements like driftwood and moss, so I took that concept and ran with it! I loved the idea of creating a beach themed destination wedding and turning that into something totally unexpected. I was able to blend the "earthy" elements with all of the awesome photos of the couple on the beach to give it a beach-like laid back feel. I love how the website turned out and I am so glad that Lauren and Brian loved it as much as I did! Congratulations, guys!

Being the forest fairy that she is, Lauren also designs and creates beautiful jewelry with some of the elements she finds in nature. Check out her Etsy store:

Custom Wine Labels and Doughnuts!!

2010-04-18T16:57:00.023-04:00

I love going to weddings and I especially love going to a wedding and seeing something totally new and unique that separates that wedding from others. Such was the case when I attended the Su'e wedding over the weekend and was impressed with what the bride and groom had in store.

As soon as you walk in to the reception you are greeted with their "wedding cake," a table overflowing with doughnuts! Doughnuts were provided by the popular Sublime Doughnut shop in Atlanta, Ga. Their "cake" was so yummy that I had two pieces! The A-Town Cream doughnut was as good as it looks and I totally did not regret eating two of them! :)

Along with the quirky wedding cake we were also treated with some Samoan wedding traditions such as the Samoan wedding dance... sort of like the "Money Train" dance that is accustomed by my culture (Philippines). But instead of pinning money neatly onto the bride and grooms clothing the guests just throw it at you as the bride and groom dance separately... talk about making it rain!

Another great thing about the wedding is that I actually got to see one of my designs in action! I work with brides all over the country so it is rare that I actually see one of my designs in person. Nicole came to me a few months ago in need of some custom wine labels. She wanted to create two designs, one for red wine and one for white wine. Each label was designed to have two passages that describe their love for each other. The red wine label has a passage that describes the groom's love for his bride and the white wine label has the bride's message to her groom.

It was a beautiful wedding and I am glad I was able to share this moment with them, congratulations guys!!

I've been working with my dear bridal client, Homaira, for the past few months now and I have been oogling over her fabulous wedding photos. It's not often that I get blown away by wedding photography but I absolutely loved her photos as well as a really cute and fun video that was made for them. The concept is so simple but so insanely unique at the same time... I haven't seen anything like it. I love it!

DIY Crafting Tools - My Must-Haves

2010-03-15T20:58:00.008-04:00

I love finding tools that make crafting life easier, these are on my short list of must-haves:

1. JIGster from Envelopments $69.95
A versatile production tool that allows you to mount layers of Envelopments card stocks and papers consistently, accurately and quickly. I absolutely NEED this! :) My biggest pet peeve is when things are not aligned perfectly, so this is an awesome product.

2. Letterpress Machine from Paper Source $149
A table top unit that allows you to create homemade letterpress cards and crafts. I am dying to try this out, if it weren't for the hefty price tag! I love letterpress cards, so simple and beautiful.

3. Envelopments® Mini Deck $20.00
References the complete Envelopments collection of premium colors, patterns and textures. I love the Envelopments line for their wide selection of pocketfolds. Great quality and so sturdy! Great reference tool and I also just love metallic paper...

4. Paper Source Swatchbook $5.00
Every Paper Source paper color in the palm of your hand. I love everything Paper Source! Beautiful envelopes and inserts and comes in every color imaginable. Great reference tool for creating color stories. :)

Custom Google Map Envelope Liners

2010-03-03T19:35:00.001-05:00

Pretty sweet website that allows you to print custom envelopes lined with your Google Maps location. I thought this was perfect for a Save the Date envelope or just for any party invitation envelope.

Make your own custom envelope liners, here.

Affordable Fashion Finds

2010-02-23T21:58:00.011-05:00

A friend of mine has just launched a new site featuring juniors apparel and accessories! Check Candy Threads out here. They have some really cute tops and dresses, perfect for spring.

If you also live in the north Jersey/New York area you can host a Private Party. They bring a large selection of merchandise to your home to display and cater to all your friends. Great idea for a Bridal or Bachelorette parties... or even just for a Girls Night Out. Best part is you get free merchandise!

Really cute accessories... if you know me then you know I love my accessories! Few of my favorites:

Birth Announcements!

2010-02-01T21:49:00.010-05:00

So what happens after a wedding?? Babies of course!! So naturally I have started designing birth announcements. :)

I designed a few last year after a couple friends of mine had babies and I have finally gotten around to designing my own to sell in my Etsy store. This one is my favorite so far, I think the owl is so cute!

View this in my Etsy store

A co-worker of mine also turned me to an awesome website while she was looking for things to decorate her son's room with, called Blik Wall Decals. I LOVE their stuff! It's funny because some of their wall decals match a lot of what is in my Etsy store. I believe you can also create your own customized wall decals... pretty sweeet.

Neglected

2010-01-04T18:57:00.003-05:00

Ohhh the fun that surrounds the Holidays has caused me to neglect my poor blog. Don't worry, 2010 will bring some much needed creativity and will (hopefully) allow me to post more often. :)

Corporate Event Designs for Venues

2009-12-02T18:36:00.011-05:00

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I've been gearing up for the holidays, decorating, picking out the perfect tree, all the fun stuff that comes along with xmas. :)

Well, besides designing for all of my wonderful brides, I do still have a day job to keep me afloat. The company I work for threw an anniversary party and yours truly was in charge of the venue decorations, programs, and invitations. I think the event turned out to be extremely AWESOME so I thought I would share some photos and my designs with you all.

Chandelier and Damask Save the Date

2009-11-12T20:45:00.007-05:00

Here is a new Save the Date card I posted in my Etsy store a few days ago that I love, love, love! Did I mention I love it?? Haha. Chandelier motifs are so modern and so fitting for this time of year! A few people have asked me if I plan on designing any holiday cards and I would absolutely love to but I don't think I have the time this year. So I think this will be the closest thing to a holiday card I can do. :)

Love Bird Save the Dates/Wedding Announcement

2009-10-23T22:01:00.007-04:00

Since being on Etsy I have been able to pick up on different wedding trends and I notice a lot of people are diggin' the whole love birds/nature motif. This has been one of my most popular designs and gets "hearted" (Etsy term if you are not familiar) often. I think it is really cute, very modern and fun! I created this wedding announcement for Jackie and Anthony who got married back in August. Congratulations, newlyweds! :)

Long time no blog but definitely no lack of work! Customized wedding logo preview

2009-10-16T19:25:00.006-04:00

So it has been awhile! But work definitely has not slowed down, just moved to a new place and it is just now starting to feel like home. My little Etsy shop has been getting a little more traffic so it looks like my hard work is paying off! I am definitely excited about some upcoming projects I am working on, I have a lot of cute gift and reception ideas and I can't wait to share them. Sometimes there is just not enough hours in the day. :)

This week I've been working with Pamela & Anthony with their Jazz themed wedding. Below is just the beginning of what I will be creating for her and I am so happy that she loves it. They are huge jazz lovers and I think that it will show once all of her wedding pieces come together!

I am getting back into my blogging routine so I plan on updating on my regular weekly basis. :)

DIY Custom Wedding Invitation Suite

2009-09-29T20:58:00.005-04:00

So I have finally gotten around in designing some Wedding Invitations... or suites as they are called. I'm very happy with the outcome and anxious to see the response! I always have design ideas floating around in my brain but with a full-time job and a somewhat social life it's sometimes hard to find the time to create it all!

I just posted this invitation suite to my Etsy store, I think it's simple, but cute and modern. I have a few more that I will post, along with a really cute wedding favor idea I have brewing in my mind that I am very excited about. :)

View ETSY listing page here

This suite includes printable PDF's of the main invite, RSVP response card, and two insert cards. I also include a supply list and directions for assembly.

Custom Wedding Favor Stickers & Tags

2009-09-23T20:19:00.010-04:00

Another great detail to make your wedding a little more unique is to use personalized wedding favor labels. These are a perfect way to add a personalized flair to your wedding favors! Each wedding favor tag and label I design can be customized with different colors, fonts, or with your personalized message. Wedding favor tags and personalized labels can easily be attached to your favor bags or favor boxes. You can even use them as envelope seals for your invitations.

One of my designs on a wedding favor box. So cute!

I have another monogram to share! I created this for Ana Maria and Mario's big day :) They are getting married next year in Columbia, which I am sure will be beautiful! Their colors are red, orange, and white. Ana Maria's favorite flower is a tulip so we definitely had to incorporate that into the monogram. Congratulations guys!

For the last two weeks I have been busy working with Maeve on her and her fiancés wedding website.

Went to Rhea & Dennis' wedding last weekend in Annapolis, MD. Had so much fun and I was so impressed with all of the cute and fun details that Rhea put into her wedding reception! I honestly couldn't have expected any less since I know how great her tastes are. Here are a few photos of her and Dennis' wedding. You can see their black and white damask wedding in action! Welcome sign, escort sign, and favor box stickers were created by yours truly. ;)

Custom Monogram and Customized Wedding Koozies

2009-08-05T17:28:00.012-04:00

I've been working with another Etsy bride on her custom monogram and party favor and I have just made the final touches on it. Jennifer and Jason's big day is in October and they're tying the knot in Playa del Carmen, Mexico! We used chocolate brown and moss green as their colors, which are great for a fall wedding. She is also giving away drink koozies, which is also great for a destination wedding. Check out her finished designs below. Congrats guys!

I recently bought a necklace from Etsy from a seller named "Sweetmini". I LOVE LOVE all of her cute ultra feminine jewelry... I bought myself the necklace below and got so many compliments when I wore it to work today. I wanted to share with you some of her pieces because I thought they would make great gifts for bridesmaids or for bridal shower party favors!

Wedding Preview - Damask Save The Dates, Favor Boxes, Welcome Sign, Website

2009-07-20T21:23:00.020-04:00

For the past few months, I have been helping my friend Rhea design some pieces for her and her fiancé Dennis' wedding next month. I am so excited and happy that the wedding is right around the corner! I just wanted to post a small preview of some of the things that I have designed for them. Their colors are hot pink and black and they wanted to use a damask pattern, which suits Rhea's personality perfectly. :)

I plan on taking lots of pictures at the wedding and of course I will be taking pictures of the pieces I created for her.

Welcome!

Welcome to my first official post! :)

For those who don't know me, my name is Sheila and I am a graphic designer working in Atlanta, GA. Although I have just started SHEILA MARI DESIGN a few months ago, I have been working as graphic designer for the past 6 years. Well, a few months ago a friend of mine asked me to help her design a few pieces for her wedding, that is when I discovered my knack for wedding design and I have loved every minute of it!

I started this blog so that I can share all of my design projects with you. I also wanted a fun way for brides to view all my different designs and wedding ideas. I also love to bargain shop and I love to support other artists and their handmade products, so I plan on sharing all of my super cute finds with you! ;)

I plan on posting on a regular basis so please come back or better yet, subscribe!
