Featured: Classic Grey Birth Announcements on OSBP

I designed these birth announcements for Laura, my very first wedding client after I launched my wedding collection and full time business. I've since designed holiday cards and baby shower invitations, but these announcements might be the most special. 

Laura chose a soft warm grey for the ink and envelopes and I love seeing something unexpected (grey versus the more typical pink) and the grey compliments the photo so well!

These announcements were featured on Oh So Beautiful Paper on Monday! Thank you, Nole for sharing!
 

a facelift

You might (or might not) have noticed that laurenchism.com got a little facelift! It's been many months in the making and my goal was to finish in 2015 and phew! I made it, just in time.

For those of you interested, I worked with Kelly Christine Studio on the design and used Squarespace. I don't do well designing for myself and when I saw Kelly's work, I knew she would be a safe bet, because her website and work are really beautiful and minimal. She set up everything and I only had to worry about the content, which is a huge undertaking on its own.  Squarespace is supposed to be so user-friendly, so I am sure setting it up yourself is a great option if you have the time. I didn't want to spend my days fiddling non-stop (and I would have never stopped!) so it was a good investment for me with the rest of my workload.

 Click through and check it out! Happy Friday!

Featured: Halloween Costume Party Invitations on OSBP

I am so excited to share these birthday costume party invitations that I designed for my friend Kristen.

Her daughter, Drew, is turning 1 right before Halloween, so they are throwing a costume party fit for kids AND adults. They were featured on Oh So Beautiful Paper today, so check out the feature for some more details on the design.

Riviera Suite : Destination Wedding Invitation

Excited to introduce this new suite, Riviera, that has been added to my Resort Collection! I have slowly added in a handful of new designs to each collection and I think this design rounds out my destination collection nicely.

I am a huge fan of the botanical palm leave trend happening and enjoyed creating this suite. I especially love this color combination, but can see so many different colors working for this suite.

There is a watercolor texture within the leaves, which is subtle and gorgeous. Love.

Featured: Traditional Gold Foil & Lace Wedding Invitation

These gold foil and lace letterpress wedding invitations were featured on Oh So Beautiful Paper today!

They were a recent customization that I did for a bride looking to do a more traditional layout than Carley's wedding invitations, but loved the lace and gold foil combination. I love how they turned out, and I especially love how the bride paired them with these envelope liners made from Paper Source paper. Such a pretty combo!
