The Merrimon-Wynne House is a beautiful historic venue in Raleigh, and it was the perfect setting for this stunning wedding. The couple chose a blush and gold color scheme, which created and elegant and romantic atmosphere that perfectly complemented the venue's classic charm. 
From the gorgeous stationery and signage to the personalised place tags, every detail of the wedding was carefully thought out and beautifully executed by La Cosa Bella Events. The place tags, in particular, were a unique and playful touch- each goes had their caricature drawn on their tag, which added a fun and personalised element to the reception. 
The flower girls were especially adorable, and wore their floral wreaths as they made their way down the aisle, while carrying some 'Here comes the bride' signs, which added a very cute touch to the ceremony. 
As guests arrived at the venue, they were greeted with a beautiful space, indoors and out, decorated with stunning floral arrangements. The ceremony took place in the garden, which was a perfect backdrop to exchange their vows. 
Following the ceremony, guests were treated to a beautiful reception that had amazing food, great music, and plenty of laughter and joy. The tables were adorned with stunning floral arrangements, gorgeous menu cards with calligraphy and gold accents, which created a warm and inviting atmosphere that encouraged guests to relax and dance the night away. 
It was a truly beautiful and unforgettable even, from the stunning decor to the personal touches that I'm sure the guests continue to enjoy to this day, it was a celebration of love and happiness that will be cherished by everyone for years to come.

As a designer, it is always wonderful to see your creations come to life in a wedding. Recently, we had the pleasure of working on a black time wedding at The Angus Barn in Raleigh, that was truly spectacular. 
One of the standout features was the glass calligraphy sign that we used for the seating chart (You'll see that stunning photo below, thanks to Ginny Corbett Photography). This unique sign added a modern touch to the overall decor and was an absolutely beautiful way to guide all the family and friends to their tables. 
Now, the invitation suite. The gold calligraphy on the invitation itself is a bold and beautiful statement. The crest that Theresa created for the couple adds a touch of sophisticated luxury that the couple will be able to use for all the years to come, but the blush undertones soften the overall look. It is a classic and timeless design that perfectly sets the stage for a black tie affair. 
And of course, we cannot forget about the flowers. With deep reds and gold accents on the napkins with the menus, the floral arrangements tied everything together. Whether they are adorning the ceremony, or displayed on the tables and the fireplace, the flowers are a crucial element in creating a romantic and sophisticated atmosphere for everyone to enjoy. 
It was a joy to work closely with this couple and the remarkable team to bring this special day to life. It was an honor to find this wedding featured in Heart of North Carolina Weddings Magazine Blog! You can go take a look here.

It is always a pleasure to create something special and unique for a couple's big day, even more so when it is a fusion Hindu and Christian wedding, celebrating both of their cultures. All of the designs we put together for this wonderful couple were elegant and contemporary. 
The wedding was held at The Carolina Inn with The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, as the perfect backdrop for the couple. We then incorporated reds and golds into the many details, and a clear tent for the outdoor ceremony so the couple could get married under the stars, making the night ever more magical.

If you would like some help, feel free to reach out. We can make your dream a reality. 

As the wedding invitation designer, I know that each couple's wedding is unique and special in its own way. I was incredibly excited for this Irish wedding, I knew I was in for a treat. Irish weddings are steeped in tradition and history and is a perfect blend of elegance, beauty, and ruggedness. This family's history had settled into the county of Cork, and brought those elements into their wedding with the family crest and beautiful greens that we incorporated into the programs and signage. When it comes to wedding details, nothing says elegance quite like green velvet. The luxurious fabric has long been associated with Irish royalty and added a touch of regal sophistication to the wedding day. The bridesmaids wore a soft blush that really accentuated the color palette. 
By incorporating all these elements, they created a celebration that is both traditional and unique that will be memorable for all their guests in the years to come. The wedding invitations, menus, programs and signage all set the tone for the big day. 

As a wedding invitation designer, I love nothing more than seeing my creations come to life in a styled shoot. So when I was approached to design the invitations for a blue-themed wedding shoot, I jumped at the opportunity.
The shoot was held at a beautiful venue. The color scheme was centered around different shades of blue, ranging from pale to dusty blues, with accents of gold and ivory to add warmth and elegance to the overall look.
The tablescape was adorned with peonies, roses, thistle and olive branches, with candles and the cutlery adding a touch of glamour. The stationery suite I designed for the shoot featured soft painted brushstrokes in shades of blue, paired with a delicate calligraphy font and floral accents for a luxurious touch.
For the invitations, I opted for a dusty blue and white color scheme with a modern twist. The main invitation card featured a beautiful painted design of blue and white brushstrokes, with a matching envelope liner and gold foiled text for a touch of elegance. The suite also included an RSVP card and envelope, as well as a details card with information about the wedding venue and accommodations.
One of my favorite elements of the shoot was the cake, which was a beautiful two-tiered confection featuring blue fondant with tissue accents. It was truly a work of art and perfectly complemented the overall aesthetic of the shoot.
The bride and groom were styled in classic and elegant attire, with the bride wearing a stunning gown, and the groom in a blue grey suit with a white shirt and blue tie.
Overall, the shoot was a stunning display of how a blue-themed wedding can be elegant, sophisticated, and modern all at once. From the table settings to the stationery suite, every detail was carefully curated to bring the vision to life.
If you're planning a blue-themed wedding and looking for inspiration, I hope this styled shoot has provided some ideas and inspiration for your big day. And if you're in need of custom wedding invitations, I'd be honored to work with you to bring your vision to life.
