It's all in the details... Escort Cards

Gillian & Nate Inspiration Board

A couple of months ago I blogged about one of my upcoming weddings at the Boston Harbor Hotel with Gillian and Nate and posted images from their wedding inspiration board. I just love the details that have really taken shape that are truly a reflection of them and their relationship.

I just had to share with you this fabulous idea we designed for an escort card board.

I recently discovered this fabulous vintage poster site, that Gillian purchased this poster from as the artwork for a huge board that will be displayed as the escort card board. It will be backed by a metal sheet with escort cards stuck to it with custom designed magnets with little skis.

As guests remove their name from the board they will reveal the poster that will then hang as a decoration. I think this is such a unique way to display your escort cards. Another idea is to have the image framed with a matte around the border that could then be signed by guests as your guest book.

Betsy Dunlap... The art of addressing the outter envelope

*Mosaic of Betsy Dunlap's Work

Recently I started working with a bride, Miss Gillian, that could easily pass for my sister. From the minute she said that she was a "yellow" bride we just totally hit it off. It was like we had known each other for years. I can't believe I have two brides this year that love yellow. I am so excited for the details of her wedding as everything is starting to come together. She is capturing the whole process and experience of planning her wedding on the pages of her very own blog, such a great idea and keepsake for her to look back on in years to come.

Her wedding is in October at the Boston Harbor Hotel, Erica of Adeline and Grace will capture the day in photography, DJ Renzo will be behind the music, Kelly from Beautiful Blooms will bring in pops of color in the flowers, Erin from Lucky Luxe is creating her save the dates and invitations, and the latest addition to our amazing team is Betsy Dunlap.

Betsy is a designer that I truly have been in awe of since the first time I saw one of her envelopes. Her calligraphy styles are unique, full of energy, really provoke emotion, and set the tone for what is inside. She describes her style as "quirky, organic and never stuffy, it appears almost alive"

If I was to receive one of her envelopes addressed to me it would be one I would be sure to keep, truly a piece of art.
