Featured: Carley + John's Wedding Invitations on Oh So Beautiful Paper

 photo Lace-and-gold-wedding-invitations_lauren-chism_1.jpg You got a little peek at Carley and John's wedding invitations on Style Me Pretty last week, but as promised, I finally get to share all the details because they were featured on Oh So Beautiful Paper today!

Where do I begin? Although Carley really gave me the freedom to do what I wanted, I really needed something to get me started in the right direction, so she mentioned that she loved the color combo of my business holiday card.  If you don't remember, they were gold foil printed on Arturo Stone Gray card stock.  She was working with a mix of metallics for her colors, so I thought the two were perfect together, however I was against doing the Arturo for the actual invitation. I wanted that part to be classic and timeless, so we went with a more traditional ivory cotton, which was Crane's Lettra Pearl White.  I brought the gray in with the RSVP envelopes and I used a blind impression lace pattern on the background as a little nod to Carley's beautiful lace dress.

And that brings us to the star of this show, the calligraphy! I collaborated with Courtnie Johnson of Poppy Pedals, and the results were perfection. Every script accent is her beautiful work. Not only is she the sweetest, her work is impeccable. I love love love her calligraphy style!

Instead of going with the obvious option of gold calligraphy (which I love and almost did), I decided to bring in the grey with the guest addressing. I love the softness and I feel like it perfectly tied everything together.

The invitations were printed by Czar Press and the invitation photography is by Cesar and Tanya of Perez Photography (so grateful for them!), with a few closeups by Carley's photographer, Arielle Doneson.

Thank you so much for the feature, Nole!

While I know every bride that comes through LC Fine Papers for their wedding invitations, the same can't be said for the brides that order my designs through Minted. I get a little email saying that someone, in some city, ordered a certain design, and I always wonder about who it is and what type of wedding they are having. So it is always a nice surprise when one of those weddings pop up on a blog and that's exactly what happened a few weeks ago on Snippet & Ink.  photo Minted_Lauren-Chism-Fine-Papers1.jpg

My Twine wedding invitation was used in Glenn and Jennifer's black tie wedding in New Mexico.

They had such gorgeous details! I love those flowers - which the bride did herself! Impressive.

Featured: Brides of North Texas Magazine

 photo Shadi-and-John_Lauren-Chism-Fine-Papers_2.jpg I am so excited to share that one of my clients, Shadi, and her beautiful wedding was featured in Brides of North Texas Magazine! Not only did the wedding grace several pages of the magazine, the stunning bride was on the cover! They were married at Le Meridien, The Stoneleigh and it was the perfect setting for this jaw dropping wedding.

There were so many gorgeous details! Her dress was a show stopper, the florals were to die for, and those rings! I was honored to have a shot of her save the dates and wedding invitations included in the spread.

Shadi was so enjoyable to work with and I am so honored to have been a part of her big day! As always, I love being a part of such an awesome vendor group: After Yes, Bows + Arrows, Perez Photography and Sugar Bee Sweets!

Featured: Style Me Pretty Photo Shoot

Dallas wedding invitations A few weeks ago, a photo shoot that I was a part of was featured on Style Me Pretty! We did the shoot at the Pavilion at the Four Seasons Resort and I loved how it all came together.

I started with my Catalina design and created menus and signs to coordinate.

I think the menu was my favorite.
