{Inspiration} Romantic and Dramatic Anna Karenina Photo Shoot

Posted on May 17, 2014 by dogwoodblossomstationery

For brides who love literature, the theme of this styled shoot allows them the ability to step right out of a page from Leo Tolstoy’s classic novel and into their fantasy wedding. Along with the amazing talent of Eventrics Weddings, we captured the style of Anna Karenina through the opulent, romantic, and dramatic decor and paper goods. We invite you to flip through pages of a passionate love affair captured by Clearly In Focus Photography. You can also read more in the feature on Fab You Bliss!

We just love this dress by Modern Bridal Shop: the fusion between modern and antique is gorgeous. The bride’s Victorian-inspired accessories really set the tone for the overall look.

This birdcage veil is great for the modern bride who wants a break from tradition. Equally bold is the bridesmaid’s tulle-topped hat. It’s risky but we love it! Boldly Unique hand made all of the amazing headpieces for this shoot.

We think it’s amazing how Eventrics Weddings, with the help of Taylormade Wedding & Event Flowers, created unique centerpieces that somehow looked like they were reaching out from the base in a longing manner, mimicking the everlasting desire the couple shares for each other. George L. Gaines Jeweler provided the heirloom china, silver, and glassware, which transported guests to 1870s Russia. Even the decorative chargers and chiavari chairs provided by Event Source Solutions made for an adventure to the past where etiquette and prestige were the keys to happiness. The details in the heirloom silver add a lavish touch fit for an aristocrat and her count. The ornate detailing can also be seen in the shimmering midnight blue linens with black and silver lace overlay and teacups with proper saucers.

This blue ombre cake with silver cage by Wendy Woo Cakes is as lovely as it is unique. The array of blues perfectly matched the butterflies, which also graced our escort card display.

We created all of the invitations and paper goods with an ornate border and aristocratic-looking monogrammed crest. The black and royal blue accents perfect coordinate with the layered, midnight-colored scheme of the shoot. The invitation is a generously-sized 7.5-inch square mounted on a midnight-blue velvet-covered panel, and delivered in a black box with a printed address wrap.

We can’t over get how these butterflies quietly spread their message! It’s beautiful, creative, and adds a whimsical touch to an escort card display.

{Real Wedding} Donna and Richard's Valentine's Day Wedding

Posted on May 9, 2014 by dogwoodblossomstationery

DonnaandRichCov

Donna and Richard promised each other forever on a day meant for lovers. On February 14th, 2014, guests gathered for an outdoor ceremony at H armony Golf Preserve. The glowing bride rode in on Misty Blue Acres Carriage Company‘s all-white carriage drawn by two horses. Her warm smile greeted guests on the way to meet her prince. The elegant backdrop of nature, as well as the decor, was caught effortlessly by Sunshine Photographics. We were honored to be a part of this beautiful wedding by creating the couple’s invitations and paper goods.

DonnaandRichardWinebox
This wine box was lovingly made by Rich’s parents. As part of their wedding ceremony, the newlyweds placed a love note to each other in this time capsule to be encased for 5 years. However, if they have a trying time before 5 years, they can unlock the box and read the notes to each other over a glass of wine from the bottle housed within. How sweet and genuine!

Another personal element was kept under wraps: the groom and his men broke all the rules by wearing superhero shirts under their button-downs.

DonnaandRichVows

DonnaandRichFlowerAsile

The happy couple made their way down a beautiful aisle of fiery-colored rose petals and blazed a path towards happiness in their new lives. The vibrant orange and pinks of Lee Forrest Design‘s floral work cut a striking contrast to the woodsy setting. Our soft pink ceremony programs featured a delicate floral-patterned border and crystal accent for a little tasteful “bling.”

DonnaandRichCake2

The fresh floral continued to their reception and romantic colors. The simple elegance of the decor was carried out through the classic centerpieces, traditional-but-modern (and delicious-looking) cake by Cut the Cake, and our cream and coral paper goods. We used an elegant script throughout the signage, including on the custom card box sign.

DonnaandRichFav

The couple’s chair backs were adorned with our custom signs that read “His Beloved” and “Her Beloved:” a reminder of their love and excitement to everyone who passed their seats. We were pleased to provide a creative combination of escort cards and favor tags. The favor was a slice of a traditional Jamaican celebratory rum cake. (The kids got brownies instead!) Our escort cards, printed with each guest’s name and table name, were attached by a coral-colored ribbon and a delicate charm of intertwined hearts.

{Real Wedding} Alana and Jonathan's Whimsical Wedding

Posted on May 1, 2014 by dogwoodblossomstationery

Alana and Jonathan shared a magical day planned by Anna Christine Events. The couple was married at Florida Southern College to honor the school where they met and fell in love. Their ceremony was followed by a brunch reception, and then they had a second reception later that night! Their Alice in Wonderland-inspired reception that evening at Rosen Shingle Creek was filled with with whimsical stationery and decor. We had the pleasure of designing all of the day-of stationery based on the invitation design by Invitations by Design. Brandy and Beau Photography and Sandra Johnson Photography captured beautiful images from the event.

{Inspiration} Pink and Gray Southern Glam at Horse Stamp Inn

Posted on April 6, 2014 by dogwoodblossomstationery

Custom ceremony paper goods by Dogwood Blossom Stationery

We’re taking you back almost two years ago to this glamorous Southern wedding inspiration shoot. Flaire Weddings & Events created the striking concept of hot pink, gray, and silver against the rustic atmosphere of the Horse Stamp Inn. We were proud to be a part of this shoot–it was even featured in Every Last Detail! Keep reading to see our lovely stationery and more beautiful photos by Jenn Hopkins Photography.

In true Southern fashion, the bride wore leather cowboy boots under her one-shoulder gown from The Wedding Loft. Her softly romantic makeup was courtesy of makeup artist Paulina Perez.

Custom escort cards by Dogwood Blossom Stationery

Our stationery suite used blush pink, gray, and hot pink details. We designed custom invitations using a shantung satin backer board in blush pink, along with ceremony programs, escort cards, table numbers, and menus for this farm-meets-glamour wedding. By using a flourished script and classic French motifs like the fleur-de-lis and quatrefoil, our paper goods brought a very contemporary feel to the barn setting. The quatrefoil pattern that bordered the invitation and all of the paper goods were reflected again in the table runner and on the cake by For the Love of Cake.

Flaire Weddings & Events designed all of the floral for the shoot, from the bouquet to the centerpieces to this custom monogrammed focal point. If you take a closer look, you’ll see that they used blooms of different shades of pink woven into chicken wire. Now THAT’S country glam!

Pink-reception-paper-goods-by-Dogwood-Blossom-Stationery.jpg

Custom-table-number-signs-by-Dogwood-Blossom-Stationery.jpg

We created menus to wrap around the shimmering pink napkins. The table top used many interesting combinations of laid-back country and high-end glam: silver beaded chargers from Beachview Rentals, mason jars as drinking glasses, a vintage silver tray, and contemporary vases. Our table numbers kept the eclectic feel by combining a classic-looking font with a more modern one.

{Inspiration} Great Gatsby Styled Shoot at Church Street Ballroom

Posted on April 3, 2014 by dogwoodblossomstationery

The roaring twenties was a time of wealth, reform and an ongoing party. This Great Gatsby theme put together by Misty Miotto‘s team encompasses all there is to love about this age, with a modern swing to keep it relevant. Follow the marvelous photographer on a journey to the past.

The 20s introduced a “new woman” and ladies everywhere were breaking traditions in everything–especially in fashion. Here, the model brides are no exception with bobbed hair styles, bejeweled hair pieces, lavish jewelry and dresses from The Collection Bridal which did an incredible job capturing the essence of the era.

The bride’s look is a delicate balance between something new and something borrowed. Her hairpiece, gloves, jewelry and veil are all borrowed from the twenties while her dress has a modern bodice with simple details–making it the perfect canvas for her more expressive pieces. The attention to detail makes this look work without being costume-like.

The name “Golden Era” is extremely prominent in the color selection for the decor. The golden, ruffled table covers from Over the Top use texture to add variation and the feathered centerpieces add the free flowing breeze of the period. The Church Street Ballroom is the ideal place to hold such an event because architecturally it enhances the theme with its symmetrical design, high ceilings and large columns. All of these factors give guests a chance to Charleston the night away in style.

Our escort cards, table numbers, menus, and invitations are no exception to the glitz and glamour of the signature tune. Staying golden, the creamy background with simple line design stands out when put against the gilded surfaces. We used an Art Deco-inspired font that looks like they were created almost a century ago. The invitations were nestled in gold mesh pouches embellished with sequins and glass beads and placed in gold invitation boxes lined with white faux fur. Talk about decadence!

Our Mr. and Mrs. chair back signs were used to hold the place of the new couple. Simple, elegant and most importantly–easy to tell who are the guests of honor!

This cake by Party Flavors focuses on the elegance of the era by adorning the layers with a simple collection of pearl necklaces cascading from a flower.

From the ceremony to the reception and to the moment the last guest exits, this Great Gatsby-themed wedding will be sure to leave an everlasting impression.

The collective effort of all the vendors involved made this extravaganza come together beautifully. Watch the video that Key Moment Films put together to see some awesome behind-the-scenes shots:

{Real Wedding} Kerry and Steve's Skull and Roses Wedding

Posted on March 25, 2014 by dogwoodblossomstationery

Kerry and Steve had a wedding that was perfectly them – skulls and roses in scarlet, black, and champagne. Not a second went by without full-hearted smiles and encores of laughter from guests and vendors alike. But don’t take our word for it, get in on all of the excitement with these amazing pictures capturing every moment!

We firmly believe that your wedding should be about you: your love story, your personality, your style. Kerry and Steve really exemplified this idea, and we had a blast helping bring the idea to life for such an amazing couple. Every paper good, from their save-the-date and wedding invitations to their table numbers and signage, was designed with couple’s bold spirit in mind.

Kerry and Steve’s wedding invitation used a bright red pocket folder printed with roses and their monogram. Inside, their invitation wording was inset against a layer of calligraphic scrollwork, which made their slightly gothic invitation very elegant and striking.

KerryandSteve_Skulls and Rosses_DBS_ring bearer

During the ceremony, the handsome ring bearer waltzed down the aisle with rings in one hand and our custom sign in the other. The black and red print popped against the pearlized champagne background. Of course, the clever little ring bearer knew the sign could double as a face mask. (Love that photo!)

The ballroom at Buena Vista Palace was grand and elegant. Sleek black table linens accompanied by splashes of red accented the strikingly crafted black and white details on the walls and ceiling. Guests were encouraged to find their seats with custom-wrapped sweets. Every chocolate bar was wrapped with a coordinating wrapper that contained their name and seating assignment. We alternated red and black foil for a color pop.

The centerpieces commanded attention against the jet black table linens. Dimly lit candles and fiery red roses floated in vases of water as if suspended in time. Our table numbers tied in perfectly with the display.

Working with Kerry and Steve was anything but dull. We had an incredible time working with the couple and are so happy to hear that they are now expecting a little bundle of joy to add to the excitement! Thank you to all of the vendors who helped create such an amazing wedding day.

{Real Wedding} Amanda & Joe's Classic Botanical Wedding

Posted on March 18, 2014 by dogwoodblossomstationery

The Country Club of Orlando was buzzing with excitement on Amanda and Joe’s fun-filled wedding day. Between the rockin’ music from The Blues Factor Band, the cheerful hues of the décor, and the loving smiles on the couple’s faces, every inch of the room was bursting with pure delight. Every eye-catching color and whimsical touch was tied together by the experts at Michele Butler Events. Claire Pacelli Photography captured theses stunning photos, while Eric Horner Films crafted a beautiful video for the couple to look back on for years to come.

ClairePacelliPhoto_CountryClubofOrlando_DBS_couple-with-bouquet

Inspired by the beautiful Audubon-style florals, birds, and insects, the invitations were designed to be timeless and romantic. If invitations could grow in a garden, they would most likely look something like this!

Walking into the reception was like entering a garden in full bloom. The floral arrangements by Lee Forrest Design were nothing short of stunning. Swirls of deep violet, orange, peach, and pink flowers danced around the room adorned with beautiful butterflies. Bright and shimmering crystals added that extra sparkle to every eye. The bride and groom even included a form of entertainment for the little guests at the grand affair.

We especially loved this very personal touch – lovely memorial cards to remember Amanda’s mom and Joe’s parents, along with a display of framed photos. The vintage floral design was even carried onto the dinner and hors d’oeurves menus.

We loved the bride and groom’s enthusiasm to share their big day! Our pretty and neat hashtag sign showed guests how to post the images on the web.

We absolutely loved designing the stationery for Amanda and Joe’s garden-inspired soirée. It was a pleasure working with you all! Thanks Amanda and Joe!

A special thank you to all of the wedding experts that brought this day to life!

{Real Wedding} Toshia and Jason's Warm Winter Wedding

Posted on March 3, 2014 by dogwoodblossomstationery

Rosen Shingle Creek, Rhodes Studios, Dogwood Blossom Stationery, Bouquet

Toshia and Jason’s wedding was inspired by the warmth that comes along with the chilly winter months. Anna Christine Events planned this Rosen Shingle Creek wedding; we love how this wedding was styled to reflect a “warm and cozy” winter rather than a winter wonderland filled with snowy crystal details. The interior of Rosen Shingle Creek almost felt like a wooden lodge! A special thanks goes to Rhodes Studios for the beautiful images.

Toshia looked flawless in her gown by Melissa Sweet for David’s Bridal and hair and makeup by The Makeover Maven. Flowers By Lesley provided wonderful floral and decor including baby’s breath, pinecones, river rocks, and wood.

The tablscapes featured warm candles, setting the mood for the evening. Our escort cards were designed with images of fun aspects of the wintertime, like mittens, moose, snowflakes, sleds, and hot cocoa. We also created a custom mad-lib on the back of the dinner menus for Toshia and Jason’s guests to fill out as a custom keepsake for the bride and groom. We also made custom signs for the newlyweds’ chair backs to let everyone know that they belong to each other!

{Inspiration} Modern Purple and Green Wedding

Posted on February 20, 2014 by dogwoodblossomstationery

Out with the old and in with the new! This green and purple inspired photo shoot at Mission Inn Resort was a modern oasis of bright colors and even bolder prints. Wings of Glory Photography once again did an outstanding job capturing every detail from the baroque prints to the whimsical centerpieces and everything in between. Anna Christine Events coordinated the look to keep it fun, funky, and utterly breathtaking.

It all started with a simple white canvas. From there, the possibilities were endless! The tables were adorned with gorgeous purple damask print table runners to contrast the crisp, white linens. Flowers by Lesley created the floral arrangements and adorned each clear hanging loop of the four foot tall centerpieces with a single orchid, creating a grand and whimsical display. Plush throw pillows complimented the space with bold chevron and classic damask prints in eye-catching green and purple hues. Hitched Event Rentals incorporated their striking white throne chairs along with ottomans and acrylic chiavari chairs.

Creating the stationery for this shoot was perfectly exhilarating! Our stark white invitations sported a pop of color with a compelling green chevron print on the front and splashes of purple damask on the inside.

To add that extra personal touch, we included place cards with special memories of every member in the bridal party on the head table. The escort cards embodied the best of both prints and colors. After all, why choose one when you can have it all?

The vibrant colors even made their way to the menus. We kept the look modern and precise, being sure to truly indulge in the green chevron print accented by purple text. The menus were accompanied by a sparkling surprise for the guests. Hello Sugar’s fabulous edible glitter-coated, cake-filled Disco Ball favors left everyone beaming with wonder. Trust me, they were just as delicious as they looked! Wendy Woo Cakes was sure to add to the sweet factor with a cake too spectacular to put into words.

Participating in this shoot was absolutely delightful and refreshing. Being able to work with such inspiring and skilled vendors is always an honor. Key Moment Films lets all of the magic unfold with this beautiful video, enjoy! http://vimeo.com/50002105

{Real Wedding} Kellee and Derek’s Blue and White Country Club Chic Wedding

Posted on February 13, 2014 by dogwoodblossomstationery

Weber Photography, TPC Sawgrass, Bay Bouquet, Dogwood Blossom1

Kellee and Derek married in July of 2012. The romantic atmosphere of TPC Sawgrass added to this traditional wedding, which had some amazing custom touches. Kellee wore separate bridal looks for the ceremony and reception, including a change of hair and jewelry! Her gowns from Priscilla of Boston and Martina Liana, Lace Mary Jane by Jimmy Choo shoes, and gorgeous make up by Maureen Riley made this beautiful bride into a show-stopper. Weber Photography captured the magical moments seen here, and Maverick Entertainment crafted a film for the couple to enjoy for years to come.

The elegance of our creamy white and navy blue invitations and paper goods added to the wedding’s country club chic styling. Alexa Pulitzer designed the cipher, which featured two intertwined “M”s to symbolize the union of their families. The couple used this personal detail to connect all of the paper goods.

We designed their wedding invitation using textured warm white papers and pearlized midnight blue. Kellee and Derek chose a custom-printed folder with an enclosure band inside containing their custom cipher and their names. To surprise guests with a truly personal touch, we printed a fish tail on the back of the invitation that represented varying aspects of the couple’s love story, from their religious roots to the groom’s favorite pasttime. This “surprise element” fish tail was reflected again on the back of the programs and table numbers. Even their wedding cake had a surprise fish tail on the back!

Our charming banner-style aisle sign reserved the aisle for the bridal party, and guests were greeted at the ceremony by our sign that asked guests to “choose a seat, not a side.”

Bay Bouquet organized a neutral-toned reception, decorating the room in soft tans, mahogany chiavari chairs, gold accents and soft yellow lighting. Their white flowers with pops of pink and blue were the centerpiece of every table.
