. . .in continuation of today's catch up day, it's time for a wedding web site launch. I'd like to introduce you to Emmy Lu Design Studio.
Laura and Bethany emailed me the other day to announce the launch of their new studio and wedding invitation line. They are 2 Minnesota-based designed who "are united by a common love of fine paper goods and quality design".
The Signature Collection at Emmy Lu is comprised of 12 invitation suites, each distinct in style and design. From Laura and Bethany: "Featuring luxurious papers, beautiful typography, and a large array of themed iconography, each individual collection is a perfect blend of beauty, simplicity and tradition. Here at Emmy Lu, we also know that each bride is distinct in style and personality. That's why we also offer the Uniquely Yours option: it's a chance for us to work with each bride to create something entirely from scratch that is defined by each bride's story, taste, and personal flair."
I am always smitten with all the wonderful choices brides have for their wedding invitations, and the Emmy Lu Design Studio is no exception. The Emmy Lu web site is just as beautiful as their invitation designs. You are sure to enjoy seeing all the photos for each of their 12 invitation suites. Thank you Laura and Bethany for introducing yourselves to me and my readers.
Just had to share with you one last wedding tidbit for the day. Aren't these just the cutest? The adorable felt food is made by Andrea in her Ginger Blossoms store on etsy. Her cupcakes and cheesecakes would make the best little gifts for a flower girl to play with or even as fun "no calorie" bridal shower favors. {they come wrapped in cellophane and are tied with a cute ribbon}. Add a favor tag, and you are all set. They're the perfect take home gifts. And, don't forget to visit Andrea's blog each week and enter her contest to win some of her felt food. This week it's a set of the strawberry cupcakes.
I'm sure some of you may have heard about this already, but I wanted to also share the exciting news about Sarah from the Classic Bride Blog. Last Friday, she opened up her very own little online shop called SD Calligraphy.
A bit about SD Calligraphy from Sarah:
SDC aims to offer clients an exquisitely thoughtful detail that will both inspire and impress. In an age where snail mail has become scarce, SDC will create a resurgence of the traditional past with an infusion of modern femininity in the form of hand-lettering for envelopes, table numbers, escort cards, signage and more.
Wishing you all the best in your new venture Sarah.
please come back in a little bit to see Real Weddings from the Inn at the Round Barn Farm in VT
update on February 3rd, 2009: Jackie's Wedding Gift to you - thru February 28th, you can receive $50 off the price of each bag with complimentary ground shipping. The promotional code is: "brenda".
I recently received the most beautiful wedding day survival kit. It's called a Mojuba Wedding Bag and was created by event planner Jackie James.
The Bride and Groom Mojuba are luxurious wedding day survival bags (priced at $275 each) that are filled with everything you could possibly need for any mishaps on the wedding day. You can truly see the thought Jackie has put into this unique venture when you open the bag and see all the items. This is by no means a typical survival kit. The ultra portable bags come in a lovely keepsake box that can easily be used for storing romantic keepsakes in after your special day.
A little bit about the word "Mojuba" from the MyMojuba.com web site:
Jackie discovered that the word "Mojuba" in some South African cultures refers to a bag of magical items that bring joy and happiness. Also inside each Mojuba bag (both brides and grooms) is a little something extra from Jackie. The item is usually handcrafted and discovered during her travels - making the items distinct and ever-changing.
What I personally love about the Mojuba bags is they can easily be used after the wedding. The bride's bag (available in either ivory or black patent) can be used as a travel kit for the honeymoon and future trips. The groom's bag (available with either lime green or tangerine lining) can easily be converted into a briefcase for work.
The Mojuba bags can be purchased online at myMojuba.com.
