Invitation du Jour: Amie Harrison

Amie Harrison incor­po­rated some really amaz­ing details — die cuts, emboss­ing, vin­tage papers — into this invi­ta­tion pack­age for Poppy & Shane. It must have been a spe­cial treat to receive one of these beau­ties in the mail.

Etsy Finds: Shoe Clips from Fink Shop

It’s not that I don’t love all the brightly col­ored chif­fon and tulle flower shoe clips that are out there, but you can really only have so many. So I’m lov­ing the selec­tion of unique shoe clips from Fink Shop. There are still a few flow­ers in the mix, but they use mate­ri­als like fur, leather and rhine­stones to really take the glam fac­tor up a notch.

Custom Heraldry by Happy Menocal

How great are these cus­tom mono­grams by Happy Menocal? They’d make an amaz­ing cen­ter­piece for a wed­ding brand, or they’d even be great for per­sonal sta­tionery after the wedding.

I’m absolutely lov­ing these mod­ern cre­ations by New York-based Colette Foley Cakes.

Hello 2011

As pre­vi­ously men­tioned, there will be quite a few changes around here this year, many in the first quar­ter. Larger changes, includ­ing a redesign and the launch of Seamless Paperie are in the works. But let’s start with a smaller update. For both my and your ben­e­fits, I’ve put together a post­ing sched­ule for 2011. I will still pub­lish fea­tures on new work, real wed­dings, and other top­ics that don’t fit neatly into a cat­e­gory here and there through­out the week. But in an effort to post more con­sis­tently, I’ve assigned a spe­cific post cat­e­gory to every day. I may still make some adjust­ments as time goes on, but for now here is what we’re look­ing at:

MONDAY

MMMondays: Whether it’s a dessert table, a cake dec­o­ra­tor or a recipe for DIY folks, I’ll fea­ture some­thing deli­cious every Monday.

TUESDAY

Inspiration Boards: My inspi­ra­tion boards will finally be on a reg­u­lar sched­ule. To start, these will go up every other week. But even­tu­ally I’d like to be post­ing them on a weekly basis.

WEDNESDAY

Etsy Finds: Each Wednesday I’ll fea­ture a round-up of Etsy finds on a par­tic­u­lar topic.

THURSDAY

Invitation du Jour: These posts will still appear through­out the week as I find them, but there will always be one up on Thursday mornings.

FRIDAY

The Week in Weddings: I’ve done this fea­ture a cou­ple of times before, but never got into the habit of post­ing it con­sis­tently. Each Friday I’ll fea­ture a col­lec­tion of images from the online wed­ding world that have caught my eye over the pre­vi­ous five days.

Happy Holidays from Head vs. Heart

We are cur­rently tak­ing a much-needed break to relax with friends and fam­ily over the hol­i­days. If you have any time off in the next week, enjoy! Otherwise, we’ll be back with lots of fresh con­tent start­ing January 3rd. Thanks so much for your con­tin­ued sup­port over the past 12 months — we’re look­ing for­ward to what 2011 will bring.

Well, Hello There

Nope. I have not, in fact, dropped off the face of the earth. You would think that’s the case, con­sid­er­ing the radio silence as of late, but I’m still here. The end of the year is always an incred­i­bly crazy time for me, between fin­ish­ing up client work, get­ting year-end busi­ness details wrapped up, not to men­tion the whole shopping-wrapping-baking mad­ness of the hol­i­days. This year was no dif­fer­ent, and I really can’t believe where the last 12 months have gone. So much has hap­pened and it feels like it all tran­spired in the blink of an eye.

In any case…we have lots in store for all of the Seamless brands in 2011, so expect some changes (good ones) around here — one being a more strict post­ing sched­ule. So I hope you’ll stick with me til then! I’ll be back and rar­ing to go after the first of the year. Happy Holidays!

Invitation du Jour

Before I get into today’s invi­ta­tion I wanted to point you over to design work life. All week I’ve been post­ing var­i­ous gift guides, and gift-related posts. Many are design-centric, but quite a few will appeal to every­one. So take a look!

And now onto the invitations…Just before Thanksgiving I posted on dwl about the work of Aaron Robbs, a graphic designer based in Atlanta. Aside from the work I orig­i­nally fea­tured, the invi­ta­tions he designed for his recent wed­ding, of course, caught my eye. The design is mod­ern and sophis­ti­cated — the mix of graphic pat­terns in com­bi­na­tion with the black, white and gold color palette is incred­i­bly dynamic. And I love the sub­tle nod to their dis­tinct cul­tures through lan­guage — “Oh, oui!” and “Naw man” as the response options.

Aaron and Julia’s wed­ding, shot by Our Labor of Love, was also recently fea­tured on Once Wed. In case you missed the adorable­ness, you can see more right here.
