Luckily for both type of bride, Blair is here to help with your biggest beauty questions.

Wine Table Numbers with Succulent Centerpiece!

Spring is here! Nothing puts me in a springy mood more than revamping my house decor. This year I’m finally hopping on the bandwagon with succulents. Oh how cute they are!

Hopefully I can keep them from dying! My plant history is less-than-stellar.
And of course, if you’re looking for these pretty wine label table numbers, you can find them in our Etsy shop!


Have a wonderful weekend!

NEW! Watercolor Cherry Bloom Invitation Suite

So I’ve found a new love: watercolor. I think I will abandon the computer forever and paint for all my days.
Okay fine, I won’t. But look how pretty!

These invitations are printed on our Banana Paper, which has a nice texture and worn backside. And as always, we can do whatever colors you have in mind. Pretty spiffy, I thought. Visit our website to place your order!

Ribboned Luxe Elegance Invitations

Oh Monday! You have come too quickly.
Not to worry, we have some pretty goodies to start the week off right!

As you can pretty much tell, pink and grey are two of my favorite colors. How thrilled was I do have a bride with the same favs! These invitations can be found in our Luxe Elegance listing on our website. Contact us for pricing and ordering information!

Happy Friday!

I don’t know about you, but it’s a gorgeous day here in Portland. So gorgeous in fact, that I’d really like to have a margarita. Later, of course, but still.


Well look at this- the cutest tequila favor ever! They go perfectly with our Talavera Blossom invitation suite. You can either order the stickers only, or order the whole bottle, ready to fill. Contact us if you’re interested!

“Mini Tags” Make Their Debut with Love & Lace

We’ve added a happy little upgrade available for all of our wedding suites – mini tags! They can be designed to match any of our invitation designs, and are included with tied string or hemp. See how they look on our Love & Lace suite!
