Dreaming of Warmer Days

February 22, 2011

This morning's snow and ice have left us longing for warm and sunny days, so we decided it would be fun to bring you a small dose of the tropics courtesy of the talented Rebecca Enslein of The Studio B Photography in Atlanta, Georgia. Rebecca traveled to Nassau, Bahamas to shoot Shannon and Jesse's beautiful beach wedding last spring, and today we're thrilled to share a few of her favorite images with you. How gorgeous is that turquoise water??

To see more of this festive affair, check out The Studio B's blog post. Thanks so much for stopping by, Rebecca!

Congratulations, Kari and Derek!

February 21, 2011

This Saturday, we had our first wedding in charming Alexandria, Virginia. Kari and Derek were married at Aldersgate Methodist Church with a super modern and elegant reception to follow at Hotel Monaco (love those Kimpton hotels!). Kari and Derek chose our Round Rock as the inspiration for their invitation suite and day-of wedding stationery, and we carried elements of the design throughout their invitations, programs, table numbers, menu cards, and seating chart. We customized the colors to reflect their color palette of red and grey, and designed a new monogram. Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Sorensen! We loved working with you!

Real Wedding: Meredith + Jake

February 7, 2011

Today we're back with the second part of our post on Meredith and Jake's wedding, and while we were excited to reveal the design for their invitations in our first post, we're even more excited to share these stunning images of the day as captured by the talented Danielle Cover Photography! This also marks the debut of our new Real Weddings gallery, where we will be bringing you creative details from real LilyPad weddings to help inspire and delight. Meredith and Jake wanted their wedding to feel like a winter wonderland, so we created an intricate and lacy pattern of snowflakes in all different shades of icy blue that we carried throughout their custom invitations, table signs, place cards, and programs. They met at their church and share a strong religious faith, so rather than using conventional table numbers, they decided to seat their guests at tables named after the various virtues and qualities that they hope to carry into their marriage.

We were so inspired by the Meredith and Jake's love story, and by our first (but not last) experience with Wish Upon A Wedding! For more images from their big day and a list of the people who made it happen, please visit their wedding gallery. Happy married life, Mr. and Mrs. Peterson, and we wish Jake a safe deployment and a speedy return!
