{Inspiration} A Magical Labyrinth-Inspired Styled Shoot in Blush, Chocolate, and Mixed Metals

Posted on April 26, 2017 by dogwoodblossomstationery

Inspired by the ballroom scene in the movie Labyrinth, which is a forever favorite for many of us, this project was extra-special for many of the vendors involved. For this styled shoot designed by Anna Christine Events, feminine was paired with masculine: flowing fabrics paired with tooled leather, lush florals paired with old clocks and weathered metals. With Claire Pacelli Photography behind the camera, every detail of this whimsical styled shoot at Up the Creek Farms was captured to perfection.

The wedding invitation we designed for this styled shoot was a scalloped-edge gatefold invitation printed with a custom pattern in shades of cream, warm brown and sepia. A satin ribbon wrapped around to close the invitation with a custom wax seal. These were housed in a brown silk gatefold box with a rich brown ribbon and a bronze brooch embellishment.

Inside the ballroom, table settings of glitter glass chargers from A Chair Affair were topped with wedding menus printed in a vintage patina, embellished with a wide, peach-colored fabric ribbon then layered with crisscrossing ivory ribbon. Next to each setting, scroll-like place cards were wrapped around fresh peaches (in the film, a poisoned peach transported Sarah to Jareth’s whimsical Ballroom in one bite). We also created round escort cards, that rested inside glass bubbles atop lush green mosses, and hung in front of free-standing rustic doors.

The bride dazzled in a gorgeous gown from LA Bridal Boutique reminiscent of Sarah’s grand ballgown, and wore lengths of ribbon in her hair; the groom was sleek and sophisticated in a sharp gray tuxedo from Absolutely Fitting. Fabulous floral accents of pale pinks and whites designed by Flowers by Lesley added hints of romance, complementing the stunning 5-tiered pale pink and white wedding cake fit for a Goblin King and Queen by Everything Cake. A stunning dessert buffet with the most decadent of treats was created by Two Sweets Bake Shop.

We were so happy to see that the shoot was featured on Every Last Detail!

When Two Sweets Bake Shop asked us to be a part of a styled shoot inspired by every little girl’s dream ballerina birthday party, we couldn’t pass it up! This party look is perfect for little girls who want to grow up to be ballerinas and looooove pink!

For these super-special invitations, we used blush and pink and more pink and white. We used a tri-fold invitation with a die-cut flap of scalloped edges, tied with a pink satin ribbon and a round tag with ballet slipper. Inside, a pearl white custom die-cut invitation, coordinating with the folder flap shape, contained the invitation wording.

For a special and festive touch, we used cone-shaped menus that doubled as napkin rings, printed on pearlized white stock and tied at the back with blush satin ribbon. For place cards, we printed a tiny banner with each girl’s name, and attached it to the stick of a gold glitter cake pop. Ballet slipper artwork was used on our favor tags for the pink goodie bags, with a simple “Thank you!” note on top. For a little extra fun, we attached tags that said “ballet” to pink satin ribbon wands.

When you walked up to the dessert table, the first thing you see is a banner with each circle letter spelling out “ballet,” strung together with soft pink satin ribbon. The “Happy Birthday, Maya!” sign featured ballerina artwork on a pearlized background. For each dessert, we designed custom buffet tags in a pinstripe pattern of ballet pink and soft white, backed with shimmering gold tent cards.

We had a blast working together with Two Sweets Bake Shop, who designed the party and created the delicious dessert buffet, along with Bluegrass Chic, who made gorgeous pink and white floral centerpieces! Our favorite parts of the day, though, were the happy faces, giggles and large smiles captured by Bumby Photography. These little girls squealed with delight upon entering the party room, and within minutes, their faces and fingers were sticky with sweets!

We were super excited to work with Lauren and Alex to create the stationery for their stunningly gorgeous black, white and gold wedding at the luxurious Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate. Blush by Brandee Gaar crafted a beautiful and personal affair with a fantastic team of wedding pros.

To keep with the elegant but preppy-chic vibe, we designed their stationery based on an inspiration Lauren provided, using a classic black- and white-striped pattern, framed with gold accents and featuring charming details like arrows and XO designs. The invitation was printed on ultra-heavy white stock with black on reverse printed with a gold XO motif. We used a black inner envelope with striped envelope liner and a white outer envelope addressed in black.

Guests were guided to their seats with the help of the seating chart designed by Chalk Shop Events. In collaboration for the display, we designed simple square white escort cards which Chalk Shop mounted on two large black boards. Thin white ribbon ran behind the cards, creating a striped effect. We love participating in vendor collaborations like these!

Lauren had the idea to use adorable and super fun “cootie catchers” at the place settings. There were four versions of questions and answers – all quirky facts about Lauren and Alex – so that a whole table of guests could join in the fun together. For dessert, Two Sweets Bake Shop created a brilliant milk and cookie display (!), with extra treats that were laid out on a buffet with a stunning 4-tiered white and black wedding cake with white floral accents created by Party Flavors Custom Cakes. In another fantastic vendor collaboration, we created the dessert buffet signage, which included a framed black and white striped sign with the couple’s names and black tent cards with striped border to label each delicious dessert.

Perhaps our favorite paper goods, though, were those created to welcome their out-of-town guests. We assisted Lauren and Alex with their amazing welcome boxes – stuffed to the brim with goodies that were meaningful to them and/or just plain fun or delicious. To the black gable boxes, we added a schedule of events, a “Do Not Disturb” door hanger and labels containing their custom monogram.

The Hons Photography captured every gorgeous detail, from the beautiful white floral centerpieces and accents by Lee James Floral Designs to the fun chalkboard photo backdrop and mirror table numbers provided by Chalk Shop Events.

We were honored to be a part of your amazing celebration, Lauren and Alex! Thanks for choosing to work with us to create your custom wedding stationery!

Epic “Father/ Daughter dance” at Cypress Grove Estate House Orlando, Florida from Paul Duhon on Vimeo.

At our first meeting with Mackenzie we asked her to describe her wedding inspiration. Although this is not an exact quote, the list went something like this: Alaska, Ireland, pubs, old wood, and whiskey barrels. What a thrilling moment that was, because instantly I knew this project was going to be fun, creatively challenging, and totally different. This couple has a long list of places traveled and experiences had – they were a blast to work with and were amazing creative collaborators. Mackenzie and Beau had a gorgeous wedding day at Cypress Grove Estate House, photographed by The Canovas Photography with floral by Lee James Floral Designs. Blush by Brandee Gaar did a fabulous job bringing together all the details that made Mackenzie and Beau’s wedding personal, sophisticated, and an incredibly memorable good time.

The colors of the day included navy blue and red, creams and champagnes, powder blues, earthy greens, and wood-tone browns. Taking the whiskey barrel inspiration to heart, we set the tone with printed wood save-the-dates. Designed to mimic a whiskey label, we printed in blue, red, and gold on Cherry wood and accented the save-the-date with a thin navy satin ribbon. Their wedding invitations followed next with a slightly more refined look. These arrived in a bronzed wood-embossed folder accented with a navy blue satin ribbon and scarlet red wax seal impressed with their custom monogram. Inside the folder, we printed navy-on-navy to achieve a subtle but dramatic look. This tone-on-tone look was mimicked on their envelope liners as well.

Mackenzie and Beau wanted to include personal touches in their wedding, and had many sentimental ideas. Instead of table numbers, the couple’s favorite travel destinations, such as Ireland, Alaska, and tropical hot spots, were used for the table assignments. We created a unique motif for each table depicting the locale and also adding in memorable elements – iguanas on rocks or waterfalls loaded with frogs – and printed a conversation-starting story at the bottom of each. To direct guests to their tables, we created a slatted wooden board and affixed lists of tables, each list adorned with leftover wax seals from the invitations.

Their custom monogram was used throughout the wedding; Blush by Brandee Gaar even arranged to have their custom monogram painted on the wooden corn hole boards that guests played for a little outdoor fun.

Even though the wedding had a sophisticated outdoor feel, the reception turned out to be quite the party! Thanks to Messina Productions, the night was punctuated by fantastic choreographed dancing, streamer cannons, and a grand finale of fireworks over the lake.

Congratulations, Mackenzie and Beau! We are so happy that we could be part of your day!

Sarah and Steven topped all the past and future Valentine’s Days they would spend together this year. Why? Because this year, they tied the knot at the luxurious Grand Bohemian Hotel, of course! To complement their white and navy winter wedding theme, we created custom navy and rose gold pocket wedding invitations. Their spectacular rose gold invitation folders were foil-stamped in navy foil on both the front cover and the pocket to create a truly sensational invitation. For their walk down the aisle, we created a gorgeous aisle sign, complete with navy details and over 20 hand-placed Swarovski crystals to make it sparkle and shine. At the reception, we created coordinating day-of paper goods, including a navy seating chart, displayed in a mirrored frame by An Affair to Remember, and round custom pearlized blue menus, printed in white ink and personalized with each guest’s name and entree selection, then adorned with crystals. In a twist to their typical dessert table, Two Sweets Bake Shop delivered a selection of desserts to each table at the reception, accompanied by a small dessert menu to help guest navigate the individualized display.

An Affair to Remember transformed this incredible wedding into a white winter paradise while Tab McCausland Photography captured all the details. Gorgeous white floral arrangements and crystal trees from Atmospheres Floral & Décor decorated the ceremony and ballroom, with the center of the reception featuring a customized dance floor provided by That’s a Wrap!. The final touch to the newlywed’s winter retreat was the gorgeous 3-tiered wedding cake with pearl detailing and white and silver buttercream tiers designed by Party Flavors Custom Cakes.

We loved every moment we spent working with you, Sarah and Steven! We hope you adored your custom wedding papers as much as we had a blast creating them for you. Thank you for choosing to work with Dogwood Blossom Stationery!

{Real Wedding} Marzetta and Brian: Modern and Bold Purple and Green Wedding at Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress

Posted on May 25, 2015 by dogwoodblossomstationery

Marzetta and Brian are a fun-loving couple whose wedding at Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress exuded the perfect party atmosphere. We loved their bold royal purple and lime green color scheme and their contemporary but fun style.

We took great pleasure in designing and producing their custom typographical wedding invitations, escort cards, welcome letters, favor tags, and select signage. Possibly our favorite pieces were their escort cards, which doubled as favor tags. Guests were asked to keep the clear photo frames that displayed the escort cards and swap out the escort cards with a commemorative photo strip from photo booth sessions with Photobooth Rocks!. Our second favorite pieces were their sunglass tags, which read: “Don’t be blinded by our love!” Truly, I think those tags likely set the stage for a crazy, quirky weekend of fun. For their table numbers, we coordinated them with the fun, modern style of their escort cards, using the same purple background and white lettering. We used a tiny heart on many of their pieces as a line break and the only true “artwork” element.

The talented team from Just Marry! pulled out all the stops to guarantee Marzetta and Brian’s celebration was one-of-a-kind, with Steven Miller Photography and Pro One Video on site to record every moment. While Strings, Etc. and White Rose Entertainment delivered amazing music for both the ceremony and reception, the spotlight entertainment was the award-winning Egyptian Cabaret belly dancer, Yana, from Daytona Beach Bellydance. It was an amazing action-packed performance with Marzetta and Brian joining in on the dance floor.

We had a blast working with you, Marzetta and Brian. Thank you for choosing us to design your custom wedding invitation and papers!

What a pleasure and an honor it was to work with Katie and Austin to create their custom wedding invitations! Katie is a colleague – a phenomenal wedding stylist with an amazing sense of style and full of creativity. And apparently, so are many other members of her family! When I met with Katie for our design consultation, one of the first things she asked me was whether I’d be able to use a painting created by her sister for the invitation. Sure! What could possibly be more personal than that?! We were thrilled to work with her sister’s artwork, and add a few subtle touches of our own to create an unbelievably personal and meaningful invitation for this incredible couple.

Katie and Austin showcased their eclectic style during their outdoor wedding at Isola Farms. We printed their invitations and table numbers on wood, which complemented the “Junk Gypsy” style that Katie had imagined.

RW Events, LLC (where Katie works as a stylist) did a fantastic job planning Katie and Austin’s celebration with Amalie Orrange Photography behind the camera to capture their day. The Sugar Suite crafted a stunning 5-tiered wedding cake draped with pink, yellow and orange flowers to flow with the impeccable floral arrangements provided by Flowers by Lesley. With dancing and photo booth sessions during the reception, there was no shortage of fun, props, or excitement for Katie, Austin and their loved ones.

We absolutely loved creating your custom stationery, Katie and Austin! Thank you for choosing us and allowing your creativity to inspire us!

Whether it is a special event or wedding, we love creating custom stationery and paper goods that will be a part of amazing memories that will last a lifetime. Contact us today to schedule a custom design consultation for your celebration.

{Inspiration} “Sweet as Tea” Southern Glam Styled Shoot

Earlier in the year, we were thrilled to be a part of a Southern glam styled shoot to promote the grand opening of the new Ocoee Lakeshore Center. We worked alongside talented event professionals, including Bumby Photography and perfectionist planner, Anna Christine Events, showcasing Southern sophistication in the ‘Sweet as Tea, Meant to Be’ theme. The array of soft green, buttery yellow, vibrant peach, white and gold gave the shoot a welcoming atmosphere.

The romantic color palette flowed through our custom invitations and paper goods as we used a folding invitation with a custom, delicate vintage floral pattern on the interior, and a gold foiled monogram on the exterior. Response enclosures were contained in a moss green satin ribbon-lined enclosure band with die cut monogram.

We carried the exquisite shape of the invitation over to the exclusively designed dinner menus that were nestled into a pocket of white satin on each gold charger from A Chair Affair. Adding a pale green border and a floral element, they matched the place cards that were attached to tea bags with complimenting ribbon. The table numbers were gold foil with a chic vine detail on white card stock.

For the drink and hors d’oeuvres menus, we layered the Southern selections on top of the floral card stock carried over from the inside of the invitations, giving a lovely framed effect to the display. The custom made Arnold Palmer take-home bar favors detailed the recipe for the Southern cocktail.

From the floral arrangements in white milk glass vases with a hand-picked feel, to the intricate detail of the five-tier wedding cake designed by Cut the Cake, to the whimsical flair of the ‘Meant to Be’ pennant-style banner, we loved the Southern elegance of this shoot!

Thank you to all of the amazing vendors who made this styled shoot a success.

{News + Inspiration} Blush Pink and Gold Shoot featured on Ruffled

Posted on September 22, 2014 by dogwoodblossomstationery

Kati Rosado Photography, Dogwood Blossom Stationery, Orlando Weddings, escort display sign

Blush pink and gold are hugely popular for weddings right now, so we were excited to show how this color palette could be used to create a romantic and glamorous wedding. This styled shoot was conceived and photographed by Kati Rosado Photography with design and styling by Emily Grace Design, and the results couldn’t have been more stunning. The combination of the gleaming metallic finishes, feminine pink colors, and the rustic setting of Up the Creek Farms gave a very personal (and enviable!) overall design.

We designed our invitations and paper goods on pale pink stock with gold foil printing. The invitations were a square folder design with the couple’s initials on the cover surrounded by a laurel wreath in gold foil. Instead of a standard plus sign between the M and R, we added a sweet heart shape. Inside, the folder was lined with a mod, circular pattern in gold foil. All of the important information was printed onto blush pink paper with a gold glitter border, and the response card was held by a pink fabric ribbon embellished with a monogrammed, die-cut circle.

Pink ribbon accents were carried over to the menus and escort cards. The die-cut menus were done in a curving frame shape with a sweet ribbon at the top. The escort cards were presented in combination with the macaron favors by Two Sweets Bake Shop. Guest names were printed in an elegant script with their table numbers in a modern sans serif font (all in gold foil). Notched blush pink ribbons ran horizontally behind the cards. A sign on the favor tray/escort card table repeated the glittery gold border seen on the invitation. Rounding out our paper goods were delicate place cards, charmingly placed in artichoke holders at each place setting.

The rest of the decor for the shoot also combined classic romance with modern chic appeal. The bouquet and floral work by Julie Miner Events looked lush, especially when placed on the vintage-inspired table from Crystal and Crates. Gold was everywhere, from the classy chiavari chairs from A Chair Affair to the amazingly designed cake by Creative Cakes & Candies.

We were so pleased with how this styled shoot came out! It was so eye-catching that Ruffled featured it on their site! Check out the blog post here.

Thank you to all of the wedding professionals involved for a beautiful result!
