Afternoon Sailing Trip

Only 3 weeks till the wedding! My parents decided to take the boat out and sail up to Tappan Zee Bridge. We left at 2:30 in the afternoon and docked the boat at 8:30PM. It was a nice relaxing adventure and there is something about being on the water that calms me. Really need it before the big day :)

Here are a few pictures I took last week:










Now back to working on some rehearsal dinner invites.

Cheers!

Wedding Flowers: Simple yet Elegant

My Wedding Flowers
Originally uploaded by creativelyspun

A few months ago Mike and I searched for a florist that was close to our wedding location. After seeing many lovely florists, we decided on Lily's of the Valley in Highland Falls, New York. From the moment we meet Janet we knew from her enthusiasm that she could make something special for our centerpieces using my wedding colors of red and tiffany blue. Janet created this simple yet charming piece that complimented my vintage theme. She turned 75 red carnations into aball and lightly sprinkled white roses to break up the red. It's a very classic design, and I can't wait to see all 8 of them together for the big day!

Hi Everyone :)

Happy summer! I've been so busy planning my October wedding that I haven't had time to take a break to blog. I wanted to show a sneak peek of the personalized stationary line featuring the gingham pattern that is coming to the shop in the fall. I just adore it and it will be available in fun, vibrant colors to pick from!

Cheers

Vintage Finds #2

Yesterday Mike and I decided to get some ice cream in Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ. We were walking around when I saw a vintage shop that had a beautiful window display (I'm a sucker for those). As a stationery designer, I'm always looking for paper goods where ever I go and I found all these vintage cards! I love the mermaid one! So vivid!

Sneak Peek #1

Hi everyone! Although I am planning my October wedding right now, I am also working hard on my stationery shop which will launch September 1st. Here is a sneak peek of more things to come!



I am so excited to offer fun, vibrant and eco-friendly paper goods! I will be offering personalized stationery, mommy calling cards, bookplates and more! Keep checking back to see more sneak peeks during the summer.

Cheers,
Brittany

Bermuda Vacation, April 2010

Two weeks ago I took my first cruise trip with my fiance to Bermuda. We used the International Royal Caribbean line which I highly recommend to anyone. Nothing but superior service from the staff. Here are a few photos from the trip! We even rented a motor scooter and rode it all over the island. It was so thrilling!







The only thing we missed out on was high tea in Bermuda. The place we wanted to go to was closed on a Monday. I would love to go back soon. It's such a clean and pretty island. So inspiring too for new stationery ideas. Can't wait to work on my ideas before the shop opens!

Moving Announcements

Mike and I are back from Bermuda! We had an amazing time and I will post pictures/details in the next post.

I thought I would share my moving announcements that I made last month. The studio was down due to the move but now everything is up and running!



Printed on soft 30% PCW (post-consumer waste) 80lb cover paper.


My new Wax Seal Stamp.


I'm in love with envelope labels. Down the line when the new shop's website is up I want to add them to personalized stationery sets.
