Oh! The Place’s You’ll Go! in 2010

{ the many exciting places we’ve gone in 2010 }

This week we’re taking restful time off to plan for the new year– and part of that is reflecting on all that we’ve done in 2010. As I look back at our incredible season, filled with so much travel, amazing collaborations,  first dances, exciting adventures, new friends, and the best clients in the world– I’m reminded of all that we’ve accomplished, seen, and been part of. With such a busy year, it has been easy this week to unwind and relax.

A huge thank you to our 2010 married clients and their families– and our soon-to-be wedded clients– your year is almost here! We also must thank our incredible colleagues who worked so hard this past year to exceed expectations and produce beautiful, delicious, stunning, and memorable events.

2011 will certainly bring a whole set of new adventures and experiences– and we can’t wait to get started!

xxooo~

Happy New Year!


from ~bostonbill~’s photo stream
… be sure to click to read the beautiful story of his parents, pictured, who met on a blind date on new years eve in 1952 and were engaged by the next morning. they were married nearly 50 years.

New years day might be my favorite day of the year. It is filled with so much excitement, creativity, hope, and enthusiasm for the future. I don’t believe in resolutions and can’t think of one resolution I made in many years past (while I still believed in them) that I actually kept. Instead, I believe in being honest and setting goals. I have so many goals for 2010 and as I began to put them to paper I realized that there are so many things in my life that I have accomplished—yet so much still to do. I hope that I can achieve most, if not all of my goals in this new year. If not, I guess that’s what 2011 is for, right?

2010 is going to be a great year – for some of you, it’ll be the year find love. For others, it’ll be the year you get married or start your own family. You might change careers, buy a new house, take a leap of faith, reconnect with an old friend or make new ones, start your own business, or close a chapter in your history. My advice to you is to keep the excitement you feel today… for a new beginning… all throughout the year. I firmly believe that 2010 will be YOUR year—but what do you plan to do to make that happen?

A purple, chocolate and gold invitation suite by Lilah Paper

I’m so excited to be able to share our invitations with you!! As many of you know, the first item I purchased for our wedding was my shoes. They’ve been my muse for the entire event and have guided me toward the most amazing gown, linens, and paper. When I set out to have our invitations designed I knew of only one designer who would be able to take my shoes and make an invitation out of them!

Paper is one of my loves, and Kalyn from Lilah Paper and I have worked together on several events and her style really compliments my own. We came up with a custom invitation suite based on a variety of different inspirational pieces that I sent her through out the process. When she sent me our first round of proofs I was blown away. It wasn’t something I had envisioned but it was exactly what I wanted — which is a true testament to her talent! Much like a proud mama, I happen to think I have the most beautiful wedding invitations ever made.

We started out with a pretty belly band holding all our paper goodness together.

Inside, a tri-fold invitation suite. It starts off with lyrics from our soon to be first dance song by Van Morrison…

Our actual letterpress invitation to the ceremony with double backing layers. Photographs cannot do it justice! It is so gorgeous!!

Our pretty letterpress enclosure cards. We’ve gotten so many compliments on the cute vintage inspired food selections. We’ve also received A LOT of interesting first dance songs!!

Our envelopes were hand written by the extremely talented Lisa Ridgely of Pen and Ink Calligraphy. I LOVE working with Lisa — she is SO good to my brides and it was so much fun to be one of hers! We chose this gorgeous red ink color for a fun pop.

I had so much fun working with Lilah Paper and absolutely love the couture suite she came up with for us. The quality was so important to me, and our invitations are above and beyond what we could have imagined. We were SO thrilled to mail them all out (except for the $.78 stamps on each one) and have gotten so many RSVP’s back. Its a joy every afternoon to run out to the mailbox!

I’ll have some prettier pro pictures after the wedding with the rest of our amazing paper!
