This is one of my favorite details from Kara and E This is one of my favorite details from Kara and Eric’s wedding.Every menu was printed on seed paper, made to be planted by guests after the wedding. Vegetable seeds, ready to grow into something living long after the day was over. For a couple who cared so much about conservation, it felt right to turn the one piece of paper most weddings throw away into something that gives back.The rest of the day-of paper carried the same intention, from custom watercolor table signs to a bar menu that pulled the whole ocean palette through to cocktail hour.Custom design isn’t only about how something looks. Sometimes the most meaningful detail is what happens to the paper after.Planning @eventsbyemily.pgh

There is something about writing a name in gold on There is something about writing a name in gold on a piece of agate that never gets old.No two stones are ever the same. The colors, the banding, the little crystal centers, every one is one of a kind before I even pick up my pen.These are the kind of details that double as place cards and tiny keepsakes your guests get to take home.Slow art, made by hand, one name at a time.Save this if agate place cards are on your wedding list, or reach out when you are ready to start planning your day-of details.#weddingstationery #agatestones #agateplacecards #placecards #slowart
One of the things I love most about day-of paper i One of the things I love most about day-of paper is how it carries a wedding’s design all the way through the day.For Emily and Todd, that meant a welcome sign greeting guests as they arrived and table numbers waiting for them at their seats, all designed in the same soft palette as their invitation suite. Pale blue calligraphy on soft white paper, with floral accents pulled straight from their custom illustration work.By the time guests sat down, every detail had been working together since the moment their invitation arrived. That’s what makes a wedding feel intentional. Nothing is an afterthought.Planning & design | @eventsbyemily.pgh

Sometimes the venue is too beautiful to leave off Sometimes the venue is too beautiful to leave off the invitation 🤍💙This couple got married at the Carnegie Museum in the Hall of Sculpture, and if you’ve ever stood in that room you know it’s stunning.So instead of just naming the venue, I illustrated the whole room and printed it on vellum to wrap around their suite. When guests opened the envelope, they got a little preview of where they’d be standing on the wedding day.Custom illustrations like this are one of my favorite ways to make a suite feel like your wedding, not just a wedding.Save this if you’re getting married somewhere meaningful and want it woven into your stationery#carnegiemuseumwedding #pittsburghwedding #pittsburghweddings #pittsburghbride #weddinginvitations
Emily and Joseph’s suite is one of my favorite kin Emily and Joseph’s suite is one of my favorite kinds to design. Classic, refined, and built around really beautiful materials.The star of the suite is the paper itself. Handmade with natural deckled edges, the kind that gives every piece an organic texture you can feel before you even read it. Paired with elegant typography and a small floral illustration capturing the blooms that meant the most to them, the whole suite feels timeless without feeling overdone.Sometimes the most elegant design is also the simplest. Beautiful paper. Thoughtful typography. A few perfect details that make it theirs.Photographer @anchorstudiostx
