I want candy!

This month I was able to help out a friend with a couple of signs for her candy buffet business! Her name is Barbie and her business is called Creatively Sweet. She provides all sorts of beautiful candy station jars for weddings, parties, showers, etc. She needed a couple of fun signs for her upcoming events and I gave her colorful! Check it out...

Chesi + MD are getting married!

These two are the cutest couple! As soon as they both sat with me and told me a bit about themselves and their wedding theme we were able to come up with something really special. They are having a daytime wedding in one of Miami’s most beautiful spots overlooking the water, the Rusty Pelican. They are not big on the “traditional” thing and wanted something more relaxed -- as long as it had to do with the beach/water. This was the result of it! Congrats to Chesi and MD! I wish you both the best!

My wedding invitations!

My WEDDING!

Obviously I’m a very PICKY person when it comes to paper goods. After countless searches for the perfect invite for my big day nothing seemed to match up with the idea in my head. I wanted the perfect mix of plum, pewter, silver and white… rhinestones…ribbon… and of course, our monogram mixed in… perfection, right? Exactly. So, this is what I came up with for me and the hubby!

Printed white cards on two layers of pearlized matting (pewter and silver) placed in a plum linen folding card. The RSVP envelope was pewter and together with it, the reception card and the RSVP card were held by a plum ribbon with a rhinestone embellishment. The outer envelopes were pearl white with lighter plum colored liners and as a stunning final touch-- handwritten calligraphy in a custom mixed plum ink and silver wax seals!

These invites were the reason I began Le Petit Papier. It was so difficult to find affordable paper goods that had everything I envisioned. I wanted to provide the opportunity to brides {and everyone looking for any kind of paper goods} to see their visions come to life as well!

My Bridal Shower!

For my own bridal shower I had a vision of YELLOW and BLACK + WHITE! {and also martinis and LOTS of hand-painted circles!} The entire theme came together with my invitations, favor labels, gift bag labels, signature drink card, place settings, table numbers and "advice for the bride" cards.

All of these paper touches connected the theme and feel of the party. The handpainted centerpieces (square and round glass vases & oversized glass martini glasses) were also done by yours truly to bring together the final touches.

The shower was a BLAST-- can we do it again? :)

Andrew's 5th Birthday!

For Andrew's 5th Birthday mommy Martha wanted a super cute Curious George theme for her little monkey! The invites were designed with "the Man in the Yellow Hat" in mind. Printed on thick cardstock they were a huge hit!

For Gaby's first "dance party" she wanted something that was very much her own. Her green iPod was the inspiration for these unique {handmade} birthday party invites!
