Two more names in the fashion world have joined the ranks of stationery dazzlers. The incredible Oscar de la Renta and the late Diana Vreeland both have new haute papier lines. These ivory invitations are in conjunction with the renowned Mrs. John L. Strong company exclusively for Oscar de la Renta. They are made with heavy stock, have a gilded bow detail and come with lined envelopes. When they

While browsing the internet one night, I came across the most awesome video by The Italy Girls. It featured a western wedding shot in Vegas. It also made me realize that while in Georgia, I've had the pleasure of working with quite a few bridesmaids from Tennessee, Texas and my home state of North Carolina plan bachelorette parties western style. I'm especially thrilled for Emily, a former

Snow storms across the country and drops in the temperature at Friday night football games have made it official--old man winter is here to stay. Now itchy, irritated and cracking will become the focal point of so many women as they change their beauty products. So, what should we look for if maximum moisture is the goal? Lush Glorious Mud and Buffy Beauty experts agree that exfoliating,

Duke and Duchess of Cambridge I must thank the Duchess for wearing those Goldsign jeans in Calgary on her North American tour this past summer. I did keep up with most of her outfits and I must say, the "buy that bug" hit me! Her rodeo look was too cute not to notice. I was also in the midst of my summer weight gain and looking to find some jeans that I really liked.  Joe's Jeans in the

Computer Calligraphy Calligraphy can add an element of luxury to any invitation suite. It hearkens back to a time when wax seals and quill pens were the norm. It says upscale elegance and creates a sense of awe amongst your guests. What do you do if you can't afford handwritten calligraphy? We suggest computer calligraphy. Certain fonts can re-create a handwritten look and appeal. We've

The project board has been busy at Platinum Tiara. Our latest color request is for a navy and fuschia combination. In thinking of a design, I actually came up with several. Here's a look at one of them. For this suite, I decided to employ some traditional elements and pair them with the modern shape since the setting will be in a church. In order to give depth, I used layers in alternating

 Image: Smythe Les Vestes  I would not characterize myself as a "royal watcher." During Princess Diana's lifetime, I admired her style and grace. When I traveled to London, I had the opportunity to visit her childhood home and view the exhibition of her life and fashion. It was amazing to see the gowns and plain clothing that she wore. Her daughter-in-law, Kate, has managed to do the same

This year has been a very eventful one. So much so that I haven't been able to blog much these last few months. As a special events person, it's always about time management for yourself and for your clients. So what do you do when you have to be in two places at once? That's the magic answer and unfortunately one that I had to figure out the hard way this May. My Dad and my bestie both had

It's held on May 5 to commemorate the Mexican army of 4,000 men defeating the French with 8,000 men at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. It is not, as some refer to it, Mexico's Independence Day.

When I got my first real job, one of my "Bucket List" items was to buy an LV purse. I've since accomplished that goal and added a few friends to that first bag.

I remember when I was planning my wedding. There were certain things that I knew I wanted to spend lots of money on and others that I felt weren't so important. For instance, the cake had to be "to die for" because most people end up talking about your food and cake once everything is over. It's the thing that makes for a great "party" if you will. I also knew that I wanted to eat my cake later

The most practical find that I stumbled upon at NSS was a line called regreet. The frog threw me off so I had to find out what it was all about. The concept is simple, you take greeting cards that people have sent you and "recycle" them by reusing them! The neat thing is you can place a "tracking code" of sorts onto the card so that you can see where the card goes on its journey of happiness.If

As a wedding vendor, it's pretty frustrating to know that I've painstakingly created an email or newsletter for those on my subscriber list and then find out that it wasn't even viewed. Then I remember that as my husband and I were preparing for our wedding, I was bombarded by what seemed like thousands of emails. I would look at a few but most would be deleted without any thought.Well (big pause

Bells and whistles always drive the price of anything up so why would a wedding invitation be any different? All the ribbons, crystals, wax seals and silk boxes are going to add to the price of any invitation be it album or custom.Select all of your accoutrements carefully. Choose those items that enhance your ensemble keeping in mind that less is always more.Add-on options such as custom postage

Now that you understand the basics of how invitations are priced, the next step is to have an idea of who will be receiving this coveted item.Prior to attending your consultation, I highly recommend that you and your fiance draft a copy of your guest list.

In the first post, we concluded that most of the time you only need and invitation, outer envelope and reply set. Additional inserts are only needed based on the amount of information your guests need in order to get to or prepare to get to your wedding.Stationers and invitation companies price invitations in one of two ways--a la carte or as an ensemble.
