Infographic Wedding Stationary

April 10th, 2013 by Karen Pan | Comment

One our brides this year introduced me to the wonderful world of infographics! If you are not familiar with infographics, they are graphic visual representations of information or data. And they are perfect for any wedding stationary like invitations, maps and even seating charts. You can tell the story of how you met using a timeline or flow chart. Or how about a decorative venn diagram to show the common (and uncommon) interests you have with one another. Here are some of our favorite wedding infographics that you will also swoon over.

I “Heart” Long Tables

February 19th, 2013 by Karen Pan | Comment

Over the years my love for long, rectangular banquet tables have grown more and more. Not only do long tables allow for more intimacy among guests, but they also add some edge to your wedding reception decor. On their own, they give a dramatic effect and sense of royalty to the event design but when mixed with rounds or square tables they create a unique visual effect. The lengthy surface allows for many decor options like flower arrangements of varying heights and table runners for additional color and texture. Whether your theme is vintage, modern or classic, the result is always stunning, elegant and practical.

Glitter Snow Globe Tutorial

December 19th, 2012 by Karen Pan | Comment

One of the reasons I love this time of the year is because I get to catch up on all the fun DIY projects that I’ve been holding off during the busy wedding season. These glitter snow globes are a great project that can be easily done all year round and used at your wedding. I chose an ornament reflective of the season but you can fill your jar with any non festive decoration that represents you as a couple. Try using different sized jars, mismatched glitter and even artificial foliage. Place them next you flower centerpiece or dessert table. Super cute!

In this season of giving, a lot of thought and time is put into finding the perfect gift for that special someone. However,  a nicely packaged gift is sometimes a forgotten detail that can bring just as much joy as the gift itself. You can use almost anything for your gift wrapping from plain printer paper, foliage, lace, bakers twine, burlap…the possibilities are endless! Here are some ideas to inspire that extra special touch.
